Answer:

The false statement is :

  • Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.
  • Cobalt is not used in medicine.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of iron sulfide found on the Earth and in coal, limestone and in many deposits of metallic ores. Due to its luster and pale yellowish color it appears as gold due to which it is also termed as Fool's gold.

It is used in firearms , in production of sulfur dioxide gas, etc.

Cobalt is used as medicine to treat cancer patient. Co-60 is used in treatment of cancer in which gamma rays produced by Co-60 are used  to kill tumor cells in a cancer patient.

Where as talc is used in industries like : paper making, food, paints, plastics etc. Quartz is primary material used to prepare glass and cobalt is used as

A gas mixture is composed of three different gases. The first gas in the mixture has a pressure of 0.35 atm. The second gas in t
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.20atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Partial pressure of gas 1 = 0.35atm

Partial pressure of gas 2  = 0.20atm

Partial pressure of gas 3  = 0.65atm

Unknown:

Total pressure of the gas mixture = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to recall and understand the Dalton's law of partial pressure.

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the constituent gases".

    Total pressure  =Pressure of gas(1 + 2 + 3)

The partial pressure is the pressure a gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the gas mixture.

     

Now we substitute;

      Total pressure  = (0.35 + 0.20 + 0.65)atm  = 1.20atm

Define the term inertia
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Enertia is an integral part of Newton's first law of motion.

It is the tendency of an object to <u>stay at rest</u> or <u>to continue moving</u> until and unless <u>any external unbalanced force</u>, (like, applied force or force of tension or frictional force ) is applied to either move it from rest or change its speed(in other words, accelerate it!!).

Example below, is of ball at rest (fig1) and if this ball is moving straight on a frictionless surface(like ice) it will keep moving!! until, we push it or pull it.

What can you infer about aspirin’s ester group?
Reil [10]

Answer:

Option B, aspirin’s ester group provides greater digestibility to aspirin

Explanation:

Aspirin ester group has three parts

  1. carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH)
  2. ester functional group (R-O-CO-R')
  3. aromatic group (benzene ring)

Aspirin is a weak acid and hence it cannot dissolve in water readily. The reaction of Aspirin ester group with water is as follows -

aspirin

(acetylsalicylic acid) + water → salicylic acid + acetic acid

(ethanoic acid)

Aspirin passes through the stomach and remains unchanged until it reaches the intestine where it hydrolyses ester to form the active compound.

Calculate the time needed for a constant current of 0.961 a to deposit 0.500 g of co(ii) as
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

1.70 × 10³ seconds

<h3>Explanation </h3>

\text{Co}^{2+} + 2 e⁻ → \text{Co}

It takes two moles of electrons to reduce one mole of cobalt (II) ions and deposit one mole of cobalt.

Cobalt has an atomic mass of 58.933 g/mol. 0.500 grams of Co contains 0.500 / 58.933 = 8.484\times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} of Co atoms. It would take 2 \times 8.484 \times 10^{-3} = 0.01697 \; \text{mol} of electrons to reduce cobalt (II) ions and produce the 8.484\times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} of cobalt atoms.

Refer to the Faraday's constant, each mole of electrons has a charge of around 96 485 columbs. The 0.01697 mol of electrons will have a charge of 1.637 \times 10^{3} \; \text{C}. A current of 0.961 A delivers 0.961 C of charge in one single second. It will take 1.637 \times 10^{3} / 0.961 = 1.70 \times 10^{3} \; \text{s} to transfer all these charge and deposit 0.500 g of Co.
