Answer: A) 656 mm Hg

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas is defined as the force exerted by the particles on the walls of the container. It is expressed in various terms like 'mmHg', 'atm', 'kiloPascals' etc..

All these units of pressure are inter convertible.

We are given:

Pressure of the atmosphere = 742 torr = 742 mm Hg (1mmHg = 1 torr)

Pressure of mercury = 8.60 cm = 86.0 mm Hg  (1cm = 10 mm)

Thus pressure of the gas container = Pressure of the atmosphere - Pressure of mercury = (742 - 86.0) mm Hg= 656 mm Hg

Thus the pressure in a gas container that is connected to an closed-end U-tube manometer is 656 mm Hg.

Fix the formula for KF2<br> Write out the full correct formula?
Korvikt [17]

Given :

A chemical compound KF_2 .

To Find :

Fix the formula for KF_2 and write the full correct formula.

Solution :

We know, Potassium( K ) and Fluorine( F ) both have a valency of 1 i.e potassium can donate one electron and Fluorine can accept one electron only.

So, the chemical formula KF_2 is wrong because no element has filled electron.

Therefore, to stabilise the molecule, 1 Potassium atom should make a bond from 1 Fluorine i.e KF ( correct formula ) .

Hence, this is the required solution.

How does a vase on a table overcome gravity? What would happen if you moved the vase off the table
NeTakaya

Answer:

A vase on a table overcomes gravity because of the upwards force of the table against it, which is stronger than the force of gravity. If you were to move the vase off the table it would no longer have anything stopping gravity from breaking it.

RideAnS [48]
<span>C + O2 → CO2 (8,376,726 tons) x (0.80) / (12.01078 g C/mol) x (1 mol CO2/ 1 mol C) x (44.00964 g CO2/mol) = 24,555,054 tons CO2</span>

Answer:

The physical and chemical properties of the product do not match the properties of the reactant.

Explanation:

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

The reaction between sugar and oxygen form a product which is different from the reactant that's why it indicate the occurrence of chemical reaction.

While in case of physical changes just state of matter are changed. Properties remain same.
