How was nitrogen discovered

1 answer:

5 0

In 1770 a Scottish physician and Chemist Daniel Rutherford performed a simple experiment with which he discovered nitrogen. Rutherford being with an empty bottle that he turned upside down in a pan of water so that the air was trapped. A buring candle was placed inside the bottle with the trapped air causing the water to rise a bit. The part of the air that seemed to "disappear" when the candle was bured was oxygen gas and the part of the air that did not "disappear" Ruthford discovered Nitrogen.

What are electrolytes

Alex777 [14]

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent. Electrically, such a solution is neutral.

Hope this helps!!

Helium gas in a cylinder is under 1.12atm pressure at 25.0C. What will be the pressure if the temperature increases to 37.0C?

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$p_2=1.17atm$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that the Gay-Lussac's law allows us to relate the temperature-pressure problems as directly proportional relationships:

$\frac{p_2}{T_2} =\frac{p_1}{T_1} \\\\$

Thus, for the initial pressure and temperature in kelvins the final temperature in kelvins, we compute the final pressure as:

$p_2=\frac{p_1T_2}{T_1} \\\\p_2=\frac{1.12atm*310.15K}{298.15K}\\\\p_2=1.17atm$

Best regards!

What is the chemical formula of the salt produced by the neutralization of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid?KSO3KSO4K(SO4)

kakasveta [241]

Answer: The salt produced will be $K_{2}SO_{4}$

Explanation:

During a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base for producing the correspondent salt, and water.

The strong acids release all the protons avalaible when are dissolved, such as sulfuric acid. As you can see, sulfuric acid have 2 protons ready for being released ( $H_{2}SO_{4}$ ); and those places have to be occcupied for other ions equivalents to the H+: K+ from KOH in this case.

Therefore the answer will be $K_{2}SO_{4}$ .

The pH at the equivalence point will be a. less than 7.00 b. equal to 7.00 Allohalineup of a sto quivalence point of a titration

True [87]

Answer: c. greater than 7.00

Explanation: The equivalence point of a titration is when all the base is consumed by the acid. When a strong base and a strong acid react, the medium is neutralized because is produced water and salt (which won't suffer hydrolysis). How water's pH is 7, in this type of titration the pH of the equivalence point will be at pH=7. But on titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the reaction of the equivalence point produces water and the conjugate base of the acid. Because the acid is weak, their conjugate base will be strong and will suffer hydrolysis, producing hydroxyl ions, elevating the pH of the water and making it greater than 7.

What is the mass of 4.99×1021 platinum atoms?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.62 \ g \ Pt}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a number of platinum (Pt) atoms.

<h3>1. Convert Atoms to Moles </h3>

First, we convert atoms to moles using Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are platinum atoms.

We will convert using dimensional analysis so we set up a ratio using the information we know (6.022 × 10²³ platinum atoms in 1 mole of platinum).

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

We are converting 4.99 ×10²¹ atoms of Pt to moles of Pt, so we multiply by this value.

$4.99 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Pt *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of platinum cancel.

$4.99 \times 10^{21} \ atoms \ Pt *\frac { 1 \ mol \ Pt}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Pt}$

$4.99 \times 10^{21} *\frac { 1 \ mol \ Pt}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}$

$\frac { 4.99 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \ mol \ Pt$

Divide.

$0.008286283627 \ mol \ Pt$

<h3>2. Convert Moles to Grams </h3>

Next, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass. This is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. This is found on the Periodic Table because it is equivalent to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up platinum's molar mass.

Pt: 195.08 g/mol

Set up another ratio using this new information (195.08 grams of Pt in 1 mole of Pt).

$\frac {195.08 \ g \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

Multiply by the number of moles we just calculated.

$0.008286283627 \ mol \ Pt*\frac {195.08 \ g \ Pt}{ 1 \ mol \ Pt}$

The units of moles of platinum cancel.

$0.008286283627*\frac {195.08 \ g \ Pt}{ 1 }$

$0.008286283627* {195.08 \ g \ Pt}$

$1.61648821\ g \ Pt$

<h3>3. Round</h3>

The original measurement of atoms ( 4.99 ×10²¹ ) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredth place. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

$1.62 \ g \ Pt$

There are approximately <u>1.62 grams of platinum</u> in 4.99 ×10²¹ atoms of platinum.
