Explanation:

J.J. Thomson conducted an experiment in which he took a gas at low pressure in a discharge tube and applied high voltage current. When he did so, he noticed that there are some particles emitting from cathode going towards the anode. Then he concluded that they are negatively charged particles and coined them electrons.

QUICK ANSWER

J.J. Thomson's cathode ray experiment was a set of three experiments that assisted in discovering electrons. He did this using a cathode ray tube or CRT. It is a vacuum sealed tube with a cathode and anode on one side.

Anarel [89]

Explanation:

According to the Beer-lambert' s law,

Absrobance = absrobptitvity × lenght × concentration

So, if we will plot a graph between absrobance and concentration then we will obtain a straight line

Hence, formula to calculate slope of the graph is as follows.

The slope of graph = $\frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}$

The given data is as follows.

$A_{1}$ = 0.412 (first point)

$A_{2}$ = 0.642 (second point)

$C_{1}$ = 0.240 ppm (first point)

$C_{2}$ = 0.475 ppm (second point)

Hence, putting these values into the above formula we will calculate the value of slope as follows.

Slope = $\frac{\text{difference in absrobance at two points}}{\text{difference in concentrations at those points}}$

= $\frac{0.642 - 0.412}{0.475 - 0.240}$

= $\frac{0.23}{0.235}$

= 0.978

It is known that for the graph, line equation can be written as follows.

y = mx + c ........... (1)

where, C = intercept

m = slope

Hence, calculate the value of intercept as follows.

0.412 = $0.24 \times 0.978$ + c

c = 0.178

As it is given that the absorbance values 0.454 (the y-axis value). Therefore, putting this value into equation (1) we get the following.

y = mx + c

0.454 = $x \times 0.978$ + 0.178

0.276 = 0.978x

x = 0.282 ppm

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of Pb in the given sample is 0.282 ppm.

8 Fe + Sg → 8 Fes<br><br> How many grams of FeS is produced from 0.3 mol Sg?

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar ratio for Sg : FeS = 1:8

If there are 0.3 moles for Sg

Therefore, 0.3 × 8 =2.4 moles of FeS

Mass = Moles/ Mr

Mr of FeS = 56+32=88

So mass = 2.4/88

Mass= 0.027g

1 C8H10(l) +21/2O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 5H2O(g), Hcomb= ? Hf for C8H10(l) = +49.0kJ/mol C8H10(l) Use the balanced combustion reaction

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$H_{comb}=-4406kJ/mol$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the enthalpy of combustion is understood as the energy released when one mole of fuel, in this case octene, is burned in the presence of oxygen and is computed with the enthalpies of formation of the fuel, carbon dioxide and water as shown below (oxygen is circumvented as it is a pure element):

$H_{comb}=8*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+5\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-\Delta _fH_{C_8H_{10}}$

Thus, since we already know the enthalpy of combustion of the fuel, for carbon and water we have -393.5 and -241.8 kJ/mol respectively, thereby, the enthalpy of combustion turns out:

$H_{comb}=8*(-393.5kJ/mol)+5(-241.8kJ/mol)-49.0kJ/mol\\\\H_{comb}=-4406kJ/mol$

Best regards.

Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [SO2].

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Rate = -1/2 Δ[SO<sub>2</sub>]/Δt

so its gonna be (in more simple terms) rate= -1/2Δ(SO2)/Δt

Answer:

Due to the known fact that certain animal ect lived on certain country/continents due to climate water type ect when fossils of various animal where found in unusual parts of the earth the theory came that all the continent where joined together due to fossil and rock types being found on continents in which would be impossible to reach if not joined together in the beginning
