Answer:

Explanation:
According to the boiling point elevation law described by the equation
, the increase in boiling point is directly proportional to the van 't Hoff factor.
The van 't Hoff factor for nonelectrolytes is 1, while for ionic substances, it is equal to the number of moles of ions produced when 1 mole of salt dissolves.
would produce 2 moles of ions per 1 mole of dissolved substance, sodium and bromide ions.
is insoluble in water, so it would barely dissociate and wouldn't practically change the boiling point.
would dissociate into 3 moles of ions per 1 mole of substance, two potassium cations and one sulfide anion.
is a gas, it would form some amount of carbonic acid when dissolved, however, carbonic acid is molecular and would yield i value of i = 1.
Therefore, potassium sulfide would raise a liquid's boiling point the most if all concentrations are equal.
An exponential decay law has the general form: A = Ao * e ^ (-kt) =>
A/Ao = e^(-kt)
Half-life time => A/Ao = 1/2, and t = 4.5 min
=> 1/2 = e^(-k*4.5) => ln(2) = 4.5k => k = ln(2) / 4.5 ≈ 0.154
Now replace the value of k, Ao = 28g and t = 7 min to find how many grams of Thalium-207 will remain:
A = Ao e ^ (-kt) = 28 g * e ^( -0.154 * 7) = 9.5 g
Answer 9.5 g.
Answer:
a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
Explanation:
It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.
But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

Thus the correct option is (a).
