What is a coefficient?

Chemistry

Neko [114]4 years ago

Answer:

a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression; it is usually a number, but may be any expression. In the latter case, the variables appearing in the coefficients are often called parameters, and must be clearly distinguished from the other variables.

For example, in

7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,}{\displaystyle 7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,}

Magnesium (average atomic mass = 24.3050 amu) consists of three isotopes with masses 23.9850 amu, 24.9858 amu, and 25.9826 amu.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%

Question 231.15 pts A 0.200 M solution of a weak monoprotic acid HA is found to have a pH of 3.00 at room temperature. What is t
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Ka= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The ionization of a weak monoprotic acid HA is given by the following equilibrium: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻. At the beginning (t= 0) we have 0.200 M of HA. Then, a certain amount (x) is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, as is detailed in the following table:

               HA               ⇄        H⁺        +          A⁻

t= 0      0.200 M                     0                     0

t              -x                             x                       x

t= eq      0.200M -x               x                       x

At equilibrium, we have the following ionization constant expression (Ka):

Ka= \frac{ [H^{+}]  [A^{-} ]}{ [HA]}

Ka= \frac{x x}{0.200 M -x}

Ka= \frac{x^{2} }{0.200 M - x}

From the definition of pH, we know that:

pH= - log  [H⁺]

In this case, [H⁺]= x, so:

pH= -log x

3.0= -log x

⇒x = 10⁻³

We introduce the value of x (10⁻³) in the previous expression and then we can calculate the ionization constant Ka as follows:

Ka= \frac{(10^{-3})^{2}  }{0.200 - (10^{-3}) }= \frac{10^{-6} }{0.199}= 5.025 x 10⁻⁶= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Explain the chemistry behind global warming in 3-5 sentences
Oliga [24]

Answer:

When factories mass produce something it produces smoke. That smoke can be harmful to something called the ozone layer. The ozone layer is part of earth's atmosphere that protects us from the suns burning heat. When that layer is damaged the sun's heat burns through heating up the world and melting ice causing the water levels to rise. All of this can make working conditions less safe, cause more flooding, and have the sun cause cancer.
