Answer:

metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because they have more protons than electrons.

It takes 338. kJ/mom to break a carbon-chlorine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlori
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 354 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light  = 338kJ=338000J    (1kJ=1000J)

N= avogadro's number

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

338\times 1000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{\lambda}    

{\lambda}=0.354\times 10^{-6}m=354nm     (1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength is 354 nm

An 80.0-gram sample of water at 10.0°C absorbs 1680 Joules of heat energy. What is the final temperature of the water? a 50.0°C
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

b)15.0°C

Explanation:

Specific Heat of Water=4.2 J/g°C

This means, that 1 g of Water will take 4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.

∴80 g Water will take 80×4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.

80×4.2 J=336 J

Total Energy Provided=1680 J

The temperature increase=\frac{\textrm{Total energy required}}{\textrm{energy required to increase temperature by one degree}}

Temperature increase=\frac{1680}{336}

=5°C

Initial Temperature =10°C

Final Temperature=Initial + Increase in Temperature

=10+5=15°C

Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,
erica [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.
