Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

took the test

Answer 2

D. It should have a half-life much longer than the age of the object being dated. When using isotopes for dating purposes, it is important to choose an isotope with a half-life that is significantly longer than the age of the object being dated.

What is the half-life time?

The half-life is the time it takes for half of the radioactive isotopes in a sample to decay into stable isotopes. By measuring the ratio of the original radioactive isotope to the decay product, scientists can determine the age of the object.

The majority of the radioactive material would have decayed if the isotope had a half-life substantially less than the age of the artefact, making it challenging to precisely establish the age.

On the other hand, the dating procedure would become more challenging and unpredictable if the isotope in the object being dated (option C) has a half-life that varies over time.

As a result, an isotope with a long half-life offers a stronger basis for precise dating since it enables sufficient radioactive decay to take place, producing quantifiable and trustworthy data.

On the basis of the information above, what is the approximate percent ionization of HNO2 in a 1.0 M HNO2 (aq) solution?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "2%"

Explanation:

Equation:

[tex]HNO_2\ (aq) \leftrightharpoons H^{+} \ (aq) + NO_2^{-}\ (aq) \\\\\ K_a = 4.0\times \ 10^{-4}[/tex]

[tex]H^{+}=?[/tex]

Formula:

[tex]Ka = \frac{[H^{+}][NO_2^{-}]}{[HNO_2]}[/tex]

Let

[tex][H^{+}] = [NO_2^{-}] = x[/tex] at equilibrium

[tex]x^2 = (4.0\times 10^{-4})\times 1.0\\\\x = ((4.0\times 10^{-4})\times 1.0)^{0.5} = 2.0 \times 10^{-2} \ M\\\\[/tex]

therefore,

[tex][H^{+}] = 2.0\times 10^{-2} \ M = 0.02 \ M[/tex]

Calculating the % ionization:

[tex]= \frac{([H^{+}]}{[HNO_2])} \times 100 \\\\= \frac{0.02}{1}\times 100 \\\\= 2\%\\\\[/tex]

The approximate percent ionization of HNO₂ in a 1.0 M HNO₂ (aq) solution is 2%.

How we calculate the % ionization?

% ionization of any compound will be calculated as follow:

% ionization = ([ion]/[acid or base]) ₓ 100

Given chemical reaction with ICE table will be represented as:

                           HNO₂(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

initial                          1                0             0

change                      -x               +x           +x

equilibrium              1-x                x             x

Equilibrium constant will be represented as:
Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

Acid dissociation constant for HNO₂ = 4×10⁻⁴

Putting all values in the above equation, we get

4×10⁻⁴ = x² / 1-x

Value of changeable quantity is very less, so we neglect from the concentration of HNO₂.

4×10⁻⁴ = x²

x = 2 × 10⁻²

So, the concentration of H⁺ ion = 2 × 10⁻²M

Now we put all these values in the % ionization equation, we get

% ionization = (0.02/1) × 100 = 2%

Hence , % ionization is 2%.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Activation energy [tex]E_a= 51.02 kJ/mol.=>51.02*10^3J/mol[/tex]

Reaction Ratio [tex]\triangle K=4.50[/tex]

Kp = 7.4727

Explanation:

Let's write the balanced equilibrium reaction:

2NH₃ <-------> N₂ + 3H₂     Kp = ??

Now, if we want to calculate the Kp, we need to write an ICE chart with this reaction, which is the following:

         2NH₃ <-------> N₂ + 3H₂  

I.         4,5                 0        0

C.       -2x                +x     +3x

E.        4,5-2x            x       3x

According to this chart, the Kp expression should be:

Kp = (PH₂)³ * (PN₂) / (PNH₃)²   (1)

The value of x, we already know it because the problem states that the amount of nitrogen gas is 1.1 atm, so replacing this value into (1) we have:

Kp = (3*1.1)³ * (1.1) / (4.5 - (2 * 1.1))²

Kp = 39.5307 / 5.29

Kp = 7.4727

Calculate the specific heat of a substance given that 49 joules of heat is required to raise the temperature of 25.0 g of the substance from 92.6 ºC to 99.4 ºC.

Answers

Answer:

0.29 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Added heat (Q): 49 JMass of the substance (m): 25.0 gInitial temperature: 92.6 °CFinal temperature: 99.4 °C

Step 2: Calculate the temperature change (ΔT)

ΔT = 99.4 °C - 92.6 °C = 6.8 °C

Step 3: Calculate the specific heat of the substance (c)

What is the IUPAC name for the following compound?

a. benzenecarbonitrile
b. benzenecyanide
c. phenylcyanide
d. cyanophenyl

Answers

Answer:

Option a. Benzenecarbonitrile

Explanation:

You are not providing the picture of the compound. However, I manage to find the picture of it, so I'm gonna answer this with the picture. Its attached here at the end.

As for the IUPAC name of this compound, it would be Benzenecarbonitrile, or simply, benzonitrile.

This compound has the molecular formula C₆H₅CN. It receives this name over the other ones, because this is a aromatic cyanide, and aromatic cyanide has nitriles behavior, (Strength of the nitrogen over the carbon), therefore, this group has priority over the whole molecule. As the principal chain is the benzene, the carbonitrile is the radical of the group, and when cyano groups are as radical and not as principal chains, it has a behavior of nitrile, and it's named as nitrile. therefore, option b, cannot be the name.

phenylcyanide is naming the phenyl as radical, but the benzene is the principal group in this compound, and the cyanide is the radical. It happens the same thing with cyanophenyl.

Read about reverse osmosis and multistage flash distillation .Then identify at least three advantages and three

disadvantages for each process

Answers

Answer:

Meaning, Advantages & Disadvantages of - Osmosis, Multiflash Distillatiob

Explanation:

Osmosis is movement of solvent (like water) through semi permeable membrane (like living cell) into solution of higher solute concentration.

Advantages - It assists equalising concentration of solute on two sides of membrane. Reverse Osmosis is used for efficient water softening, it is easy to maintain.

Disadvantages - It needs a lot of energy. A lot of pressure is required for deionisation. Water acidity level increases, as minerals get deionised.

Multistage flash distillation refers to desalination water distilling seawater, by flashing water portions in steams in various stages of concurrent heat exchangers.

Advantages - Its Cost efficient , distillation uses waste heat. It has High gain output ratio. Quality of feedwater is less significant, compared to reverse osmosis.

Disadvantages - It has high operating cost in case of waste heat unavailability. High temperature imply high corrosion & scale formation.

T = 23°C + 273 = 296K

n = 0.16 mol He

P = 101 kPa = 0.997 atm

R = universal gas constant = 0.08205 L-atm/mol-K

V = ?

Using the ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

= (0.16 mil He)(0.08205 L-atm/mol-K)(296K)/(0.997 atm)

O c. Its atoms break apart and form new atoms.
O D. Its atoms combine and form new atoms.

Answers

Answer:

B. It undergoes a physical change.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since we know that chemical changes lead to the formation of new atoms and/or compounds due to the bonds rearrangement of the initial substances and the physical changes occur without changing the composition of the initial substances, we can infer that, since melting is a process that changes the phase of matter from solid to liquid without changing the identity of the initial substance, the answer to this question would be B. It undergoes a physical change. because the other options describe chemical changes.

Best regards!

Answer:

B. It undergoes a physical change.

Answers

Answer:

9 moles of NaNO3 is obtained

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction equation for the reaction is;

Al(NO3)3 + 3NaCl-------> 3NaNO3 + AlCl3

Now, we have to determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant yields the least amount of NaNO3.

1 mole of Al(NO3)3 yields 3 moles of NaNO3

4 moles of Al(NO3)3 yields 4 * 3/1 = 12 moles of NaNO3

Also,

3 moles of NaCl yields 3 moles of NaNO3

9 moles of NaCl yields 9 * 3/3 = 9 moles of NaNO3

Hence, NaCl  is the limiting reactant and 9 moles of NaNO3 is obtained.

9 moles of NaNO₃ is obtained.

Balanced chemical reaction:

[tex]Al(NO_3)_3 + 3NaCl-----> 3NaNO_3 + AlCl_3[/tex]

From the reaction, it is seen that the limiting reactant yields the least amount of NaNO₃.

1 mole of Al(NO₃)₃ yields 3 moles of NaNO₃

4 moles of Al(NO₃)₃ yields 4 * 3/1 = 12 moles of NaNO₃

Also,

3 moles of NaCl yields 3 moles of NaNO₃

9 moles of NaCl yields 9 * 3/3 = 9 moles of NaNO₃

Hence, NaCl  is the limiting reactant and 9 moles of NaNO₃ is obtained.
