Calculate the molarity of a NaOH solution that is prepared by diluting 100mL of 0.20M NaOH with 150mL of H2O.

Answers

Molarity of solution = 0.08 M

Further explanation  

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution or mmol in each ml of solution  

[tex]\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}[/tex]  

Where  

M = Molarity  

n = number of moles of solute  

V = Volume of solution  

mol of NaOH

[tex]\tt mol=0.2~M\times 100~ml=20~mlmol=0.02~mol[/tex]

molarity

Volume of solution = 100 ml + 150 ml = 250 ml

[tex]\tt M=\dfrac{0.02~mol}{0.250~L}=0.08[/tex]

Element X has two naturally occurring isotopes. The isotope with mass 62.93 amu has a
relative abundance of 69.2%. The isotope with mass 64.93 amu has a relative
abundance of 30.8%. Calculate the average atomic mass of Element X. What is the
identity of Element X?

Answers

Answer: the average atomic mass is 63.546. The element is copper.

Explanation:
To solve this, you multiply the mass of each isotope by its relative abundance as a decimal (for this question, it would be 62.93 * .692 and 64.93 * .308), then you add the two results together. That gives you the average atomic mass. Then, you look at the periodic table to find which element the mass matches to. If there is none, check your math.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 7.69 %

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

[tex]P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\ [/tex]

From the question

actual number = 1.30 g/mL

error = 1.40 - 1.30 = 0.1

We have

[tex]p(\%) = \frac{0.1}{1.3} \times 100 \\ = 7.692307...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

Consider the following unbalanced equation.
Ca(OH)2 + (NH2)2SO4 → CaSO4 + NH3 + H2O

Help for 70 points please explain why too.

Answers

Answer:

1   Ca(OH)2 + 1  (NH4)2SO4   ---> 1 CaSO4 + 2 NH3 + 2 H2O

Explanation:

The photo I attached should make more sense as an explanation.

When balancing equations, the first and most important step is to count the # of each type of element on each side.

In this problem there are 5: Ca, O, H, N, and S.

Once you do that you can begin balancing.

Here is the initial tally for the elements in this problem:

On the left.....

Ca - 1

N - 2

S - 1

O - 6

H - 10

On the right.....

Ca - 1

N - 1

S - 1

O - 5

H - 5

Looking at these values, we can see N, O, and H all need adjusting the right side. You should never start balancing with O or H unless they are the only elements that need adjusting. They usually balance out with the rest of your work or with water in the end.

So given all of that, you should start balancing with N on the right. Giving NH3 a coefficient of 2 will change the number of Nitrogen atoms on the right to 2. Be careful though! It will also change the number of Hydrogen atoms from 5 to 8 (because (2*3) =6 and 6+2 =8).

Let's tally our numbers again.

On the left..... (these should be unchanged)

Ca - 1

N - 2

S - 1

O - 6

H - 10

On the right.....

Ca - 1

N - 2

S - 1

O - 5

H - 8

Okay, now we see only O and H need adjusting on the right. Luckily there is H2O so we can do that without impacting the number of other atoms.

Give H2O a coefficient of 2 and count the number of atoms on the right again.

On the right.....

Ca - 1

N - 2

S - 1

O - 6 (because 4 from CaSO4 plus 2 from 2H2O = 6)

H - 10 (6 from NH3 plus 4 from 2H2O = 10)

Do these numbers match what you have on the the left side of the equation? Yes! It is balanced so you do not need to adjust anymore. Your coefficients in the answer will be 1-1-1-2-2.

Rodney is correct because the fluid in all batteries has a pH between 0.0 and 6.9, including alkaline batteries. D. Rodney is correct because the fluid in all batteries has a pH between 7.1 and 14.0, including alkaline batteries.

Answers

Arkeisha is correct because the fluid in an alkaline battery has a ph between 7.1 and 14.0

Batteries are filled with acidic fluid mostly of sulphuric acid. It have a pH about 0.8. Alkaline batteries are filled with potassium hydroxide or zinc chloride the pH is around 7 and the term battery acid cannot be used here. Thus option A is correct.

What is pH?

pH of a solution is the measure of H+ ion concentration in the solution. It says how acidic or basic the solution is. If the solution has a pH of 7 it is neutral and if its less than 7 it is acidic and a pH of more than 7 is basic.

Battery is an electronic component which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. It consist of an electrolyte and two electrodes. Usually the fluid used in battery is sulphuric acid  and it is called the battery acid.

Nowadays battery acids are replacing by alkaline fluids which are less hazardous than the acids. Most commonly potassium hydroxide, zinc chloride etc. are used as alkaline fluids.

The electrodes used in batteries are commonly zinc and magnesium. Thus, the pH of battery acid about 0.8 and option A is correct.

8. 137.16metres

9. 4.968miles

10. 3.105miles

Explanation:

1. 1000mg = 1g

345.7 mg = 345.7/1000

= 0.3457g

2. 1kL = 1000000mL

0.00765 kL = 0.00765 × 1000000

= 7650mL

3. 1 day = 86400s

2.5 days = 2.5 × 86400

= 216000 seconds

4. 1 week = 10080minutes

1.000weeks is equivalent to 1 week, hence there are 10080minutes in 1.000week.

1 oz = 28.34 g

2480oz = 2480 × 28.34

= 70283.2g

8. 1 foot = 12 inches

450 feet = 450 × 12

= 5400inches

1 inch = 0.0254metres

5400 inches = 5400 × 0.0254

137.16metres

9. 1 metre = 0.000621 mile

8000 metres = 8000 × 0.000621

A scientist is examining a mixture of nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia. The individual pressures that are exerted by nitrogen and hydrogen are 0.26 atm and 0.28 atm, respectively. If the total pressure is 0.90 atm, what is the partial pressure of ammonia? Use P subscript T equals P subscript 1 plus P subscript 2 plus P subscript 3 plus ellipses plus P subscript n.. 0.27 atm 0.36 atm 0.54 atm 0.90 atm

Answers

Answer:  0.36 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

[tex]p_{total}=p_1+p_2+p_3[/tex]

Given :  [tex]p_{total}[/tex] = total pressure of gases = 0.90 atm

[tex]p_{N_2}[/tex]= partial pressure of nitrogen =  0.26 atm

[tex]p_{H_2}[/tex] = partial pressure of hydrogen = 0.28 atm

[tex]p_{NH_3}[/tex]= partial pressure of ammonia = ?

putting in the values we get:

[tex]0.90=0.26 +0.28+p_{NH_3}[/tex]

[tex]p_{NH_3}=0.36atm[/tex]

Thus the partial pressure of ammonia is 0.36 atm

A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water. The paperclip floats. What happens if the student adds a drop or two of dish soap to the water?

Answers

Answer:

Adding soap would cause the paper clip to fall through the water and onto the base of the dish because soap is a surfactant.

Explanation:

The concept surface tension is used here to determine what happens to the paperclip when a drop of dish soap is added to the water. Here the paperclip sink into the water.

What is surface tension?

The property exhibited by the surface of a liquid in order to resist the action of an external force because of the cohesive nature of the molecules is known as the surface tension. Due to this property the surface of a liquid behaves as an extended elastic membrane.

The paperclip float on water because of the high surface tension as the water molecules at the surface are strongly attracted among themselves. But on adding one or two drops of dish soap to water causes the paperclip to sink.

The addition of the drops of dish soap to the water weakens the attraction among the water molecules and thereby lowers the surface tension. As a result of this the surface film disappears and the paperclip sink into the water.

Thus the paperclip fall into the water when a drop of dish soap is added to the water.
