To make the conversion we must take into account the relationship between kBq and microcuries. Both are units that represent radioactivity activity. The relationship is:

1 kilobecquerel (kBq) = 0.027027027 microcurie

Therefore, 2.6kBq will be equal to:

\begin{gathered} microcuries=givenkBq\times\frac{0.027027027microcurie}{1kBq} \\ m\imaginaryI crocur\imaginaryI es=2.6kBq\times\frac{0.027027027m\imaginaryI crocur\imaginaryI e}{1kBq} \\ microcuries=0.070 \end{gathered}

Answer= That activity in microcuries will be 0.070 microcuries

How many grams of zinc phosphate are formed when 48.1 mL of 2.18 M zinc nitrate reacts with excess potassium phosphate?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

15.4 g of Zn₃(PO₄)₂ are produced

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of zinc phosphate formed = ?

Volume of zinc nitrate = 48.1 mL (0.05 L)

Molarity of zinc nitrate = 2.18 M

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2K₃PO₄  →   Zn₃(PO₄)₂ + 6KNO₃

Moles of  zinc nitrate:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Number of moles =  2.18 M × 0.05 L

Number of moles = 0.109 mol

Now we will compare the moles of zinc phosphate with zinc nitrate from balanced chemical equation:

                     Zn(NO₃)₂           :            Zn₃(PO₄)₂

                         3                    :                 1

                       0.109               :               1/3×0.109 = 0.04 mol

0.04 moles of Zn₃(PO₄)₂ are produced.

Mass of Zn₃(PO₄)₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.04 mol × 386.1 g/mol

Mass = 15.4 g

Ethane, C2H6, can be formed by reacting acetylene, C2H2, with hydrogen gas as follows: C2H2(g) H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(g) Exothermic What c
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Equilibrium shifts to the right

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which temperature is released to the environment. Hence, if the reaction vessel housing an exothermic reaction is touched after reaction completion, we will notice that the reaction vessel e.g beaker is hot.

To consider the equilibrium response to temperature changes, we need to consider if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In the case of this particular question, it has been established that the reaction is exothermic.

Heat is released to the surroundings as the reactants are at a higher energy level compared to the products. Hence, increasing the temperature will favor the formation of more reactants and as such, the equilibrium position will shift to the left to pave way for the formation of more reactants. Thus , more acetylene and hydrogen would be yielded
