How are parentheses used in chemical formulas

Physics
2 answers:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago
8 0
In a chemical compound, parenthesis are used to distinguish the number of polyatomic ions from the number of atoms. Such as in the compound calcium nitrate, it is written as Ca(NO_{3} ) _{2}. This means there are two nitrate ions for every one calcium ion.<span>

The "steam" above a freshly made cup of instant coffee is really water vapor droplets condensing after evaporating from the hot
KiRa [710]

Answer:

T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the calorimetry heat ratios, let's start with the heat lost by the evaporation of coffee, since it changes from liquid to vapor state

      Q₁ = m L

Where m is the evaporated mass (m = 2.00 103-3kg) and L is 2.26 106 J / kg, where we use the latent heat of the water

     Q₁ = 2.00 10⁻³ 2.26 10⁶

     Q1 = 4.52 10³ J

Now the heat of coffee in the cup, which does not change state is

     Q coffee = M c_{e} ( T_{f} -T_{i})

Since the only form of energy transfer is terminated, the heat transferred is equal to the evaporated heat

    Qc = - Q₁

    M ce (T_{f} -T_{i}) = - Q₁

The coffee dough left in the cup after evaporation is

    M = 250 -2 = 248 g = 0.248 kg

   T_{f} -Ti = -Q1 / M c_{e}

   T_{f} = Ti - Q1 / M c_{e}

Since coffee is essentially water, let's use the specific heat of water,

    c_{e}= 4186 J / kg ºC

Let's calculate

     T_{f} = 90.0 - 4.52 103 / (0.248 4.186 103)

     T_{f} = 90- 4.35

     T_{f} = 85.65 ° C

     T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

the average time required for radioactive elements, whereby they decay to half their original mass is called the "average life"
VikaD [51]
I'm not sure what your question is. But, the half life is the amount of time required for half the material to decay. For U238 this is 4.5 billion years, whilst for Fr-223 (Francium) its about 22 minutes. To calculate the time for something to decay you need to use the equation:
Mass (after time t) = Mass (initial) * (0.5)^(time/half life)
Hope this helps

Examine the spectra of the four unknown substances shown below. What can you conclude?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Line spectra are obtained when individual elements are heated using a high-voltage electrical discharge. This heating causes excitation of the element and a subsequent emission of distinct lines of colored light are obtained. Each element has its own unique emission line spectrum; therefore, if any of the tested substances were the same, their spectra would match. However, this is not the case so none of the substances are the same.
 hope it helps!
