Answer:

c. Efflorescent

Explanation:

Some hydrated salts, when exposed to the atmosphere, give off part of all of their water of crystallization spontaneously to form a lower dehydrated or anhydrous salt. Such salts are known as efflorescent and the phenomenon is called Efflorescence.

Efflorescence occurs when the hydrate's aqueous vapor pressure is greater than the water vapor's partial pressure in the air. For example, because the vapor pressures of washing soda (Na2CO3·10H2O) and Glauber's salt (Na2SO4·10H2O) normally exceed that of the water vapor in the atmosphere, these salts effloresce (i.e., lose all or part of their water of hydration), and their surfaces assume a powdery appearance.

In the reaction N2O4(g) 2NO2(g), what changes in color would you expect as pressure is increased at constant temperature?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Brown color of the solution decreases

Explanation:

NO_2 is brown in color whereas N_2O_4 is colorless.

Equilibrium reaction between NO_2 and N_2O_4 is as follows:

2NO_2\leftrightharpoons N_2O_4

As per the Le Chatelier's principle, if pressure of a equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction having fewer no. of moles of gases.

In the given equilibrium, NO_2 side has more no. of moles. So on increasing pressure, equilibrium will shift towards the side of N_2O_4 or more formation of N_2O_4 will take place.

Therefore, more NO_2 will decompose that will decrease the brown color of the solution as N_2O_4 is colorless.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Molarity measures the strength of a solution. Remember, a solution is made up of two parts: the solvent (which does the dissolving) and the solute (the substance that is dissolved). The more solute there is, the higher the concentrate and therefore the higher the molarity of the solution. Thus B is the answer

What is the hydrogen concentration of a solution with a pH of 2.1?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

8×10^(-3) mol/L

Explanation:

The formula for finding the hydrogen ion concentration is...

[H⁺] = 10^-ph

[H⁺] = 10^(-2.1)

[H⁺] = 0.00794...mol/L = 8×10^(-3) mol/L

The answer is to 1 significant digit because the pH has one decimal place.

How many days have passed if 4.80 mg of calcium-47 decayed to 1.2 mg of calcium-47?
LenaWriter [7]
(1) 36 days is 8 half-life periods,
so 24mg becomes 24mg times (1/2)^8 = 24 mg/256 = 0.094 mg

(2) 9.6/1.2 = 8, which means three half-life periods went by.
At the end of 4.5 days, there were 4.8 mg
At the end of 9.0 days, there were 2.4 mg
At the end of 13.5 days, there were 1.2 mg

(3) The activity is proportional to the amount of radioactive material remaining,
so after two half-life periods, the activity should be 1/4 of what it originally was.
So the initial activity was probably 12.0 Ci
