Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation is the thermal insulation material that is no longer used because of formaldehyde gas emission

Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation is mixture of urea formaldehyde resin, foaming acid agent, and a propellant used in the 1970s for insulating purposes.

It was specifically designed to insulate the areas of the building that were hard to access. Unlike regular process, it was sprayed into the walls by using holes.

It is no longer used because it caused a raise in the formaldehyde gas in the residence. This gas caused irritations to the people living in the building. Residents started to report health issues like respiratory problems, and eyes, nose, throat irritation.

Is the dissolution of borax in water a temperature dependent reaction or is it spontaneous at all temperatures at which water is

enot [183]

The dissolution of borax in water is a temperature dependent reaction. With the higher temperature, the salt dissolve quickly.

<h3>What is borax?</h3>

Borax is the hydrate salt of boric acid. It is white and widely used in cleaning and in laundry detergent.

Borax is a salt that will dissolve in water at almost any temperature, with the exception of steam and ice.

However, as with any salt, the higher the temperature, the faster the salt dissolves, so speed is dependent on temperature. It will dissolve in cold water, but it will take longer.

Thus, the dissolution of borax in water is a temperature dependent reaction.

The edge length of the unit cell of KCl (NaCl-like structure, FCC) is 6.28 Å. Assuming anion-cation contact along the cell edge,

Mila [183]

Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

$\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731$ .................1

Also, the sum of the radius of the cation and the anion in FCC is equal to half of the edge length.

Thus,

$r^++r^-=\frac {a}{2}$ ...................2

Given that:

$Cl^-\ (r^-) = 1.82\ \dot{A}$

To find,

$K^+\ (r^+) = ? \dot{A}$

Using 1 and 2 , we get:

$1.731\ r^+=0.731\times \frac {6.28}{2}$

<u>Size of the potassium ion = 1.33 Å</u>

bogdanovich [222]

$\huge\boxed{\textsf{Li and Ca}}$

An element is a substance that can't be broken down further. Lithium (Li) and calcium (Ca) are examples of elements.

Carbon monoxide (CO) and potassium bromide (KBr) are examples of compounds, which are made up of more than one element put together.

What mass of H2 is needed to react with 8.75 g of O2 according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g)?

alina1380 [7]

Mass of H₂ needed to react with O₂ : 1.092 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

Reaction

O₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

mass of O₂ : 8.75 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

$\tt \dfrac{8.75}{32}=0.273$
