Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

What is the volume of an object that has a mass of 3.5 grams and has a density of 2.50 g/mL? Include units and proper sig figs l
jolli1 [7]

1.4mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 3.5g

density = 2.5g/mL

Unknown:

Volume of the object = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a body. It is an intensive property that is the same for the same substances.

   Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

  since the volume is unknown; we make it the subject of the formula;

 Volume = \frac{mass}{density}

Volume = \frac{3.5}{2.5}

Volume of the object = 1.4mL

Biacetyl, the flavoring that makes margarine taste "just like butter," is extremely stable at room temperature, but at 200°C it
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

3.91 minutes

Explanation:

Given that:

Biacetyl breakdown with a half life of 9.0 min after undergoing first-order reaction;

As we known that the half-life for first order is:

t__{1/2}}= \frac{0.693}{k}

where;

k = constant

The formula can be re-written as:

k = \frac{0.693}{t__{1/2}}

k = \frac{0.693}{9.0 min}

k = 0.077 min^{-1}

Let the initial amount of butter flavor in the food be (N_0) = 100%

Also, the amount of butter flavor retained at 200°C (N_t)= 74%

The rate constant k = 0.077 min^{-1}

To determine how long can the food be heated at this temperature and retain 74% of its buttery flavor; we use the formula:

\frac{N_t}{N_0}= -kt

t = - (\frac{1}{k}*In\frac{N_t}{N_0}  )

Substituting our values; we have:

t = - (\frac{1}{0.077}*In\frac{74}{100}  )

t = 3.91 minutes

∵ The time needed for the food to be heated at this temperature and retain 74% of its buttery flavor is 3.91 minutes

The half-life of a first-order reaction is 13 min. If the initial concentration of reactant is 0.085 M, how long would it take u
olasank [31]

Answer: It will take 8.2 minutes until the concentration decreases to 0.055 M

Explanation:

The time after which 99.9% reactions gets completed is 40 minutes

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{13min}=0.053min^{-1}

b)  Time taken for 0.085 M to decrease to 0.055 M

t=\frac{2.303}{0.053}\log\frac{0.085}{0.055}

t=8.2min

Thus it will take 8.2 minutes until the concentration decreases to 0.055 M

Choose the correct products for the double replacement reaction below. Click here to access the solubility rules to determine wh
Lemur [1.5K]

MgCl₂ & PbSO₄ is the correct product for the given double replacement reaction.

<h3>What is double displacement reaction?</h3>

In the double displacement reaction displacement of two substrate will take place among two reactants and formation of products takes place.

In the question, PbCl₂ reacts with MgSO₄ and displacement between the cations takes place and formation of  MgCl₂ and insoluble precipitate PbSO₄ is formed.

Given reaction is represented as:

PbCl₂ + MgSO₄ → MgCl₂ + PbSO₄

According to the activity series, reactivity of Magnesium is more as compared to the lead atom. So lead is displaced by the magnesium atom and form the above given products.

Hence, option (3) is correct i.e. MgCl₂ & PbSO₄.
