The electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is attached to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.

The temperature program for a separation starts at a temperature of 50 °C and ramps the temperature up to 270 °C at a rate of 10
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is Option E (Strongly retained analytes will give broad peaks).

Explanation:

The other options are true because:

A. Initial temp = 50 °C

   Final temp =  270 °C

Differences in temp = 270 - 50 = 220°C

Rate =  10 °C/minute.

So, at 10 °C/minute,

total of 220°C /10 °C = number of minutes required to reach the final temp.

220/10 = 22 minutes

B. A column has a minimum and maximum use temperature. Solutes that are already retained would remain stationary while temperatures are low. This would only change if there is an increase in temperature. Heat transfers more energy to the liquid which would make the solute interact with the column phase.

C. Weakly retained solutes may contain larger molecules, will separate by absorbing into the solvent early in separation making the mobile phase separates out into its components on the stationary phase.

D. Retained solute's vapor pressure is higher at higher temperatures making it possible for particle to escape more from the solute when the temperature is high than when it is low.

Consider the following reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g) <--> CH3OH(g).
Andrew [12]

Answer:

123 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Explanation:

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH(g)

Equilibrium concentration of reactants :

[CO]=0.115 M,[H_2]=0.116 M

Equilibrium concentration of products:

[CH_3OH]=0.190 M

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

K_c=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}

K_c=\frac{0.190 M}{0.115 M\times (0.116 M)^2}

K_c=122.78 \approx 123

123 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

A small hummingbird flying around beats its wings with a frequency of 170 Hz. If the wavelength of the sound wave produced is 2
bearhunter [10]

The given information in the question is :

Frequency = 170 Hz

1 Hz = \frac{1}{s}

Frequency = 170 \frac{1}{s}

Wavelength given = 2 m

Speed is unknown which we need to calculate.

Speed can be calculated by using the formula : Speed = wavelength X frequency

By plugging the value of wavelength and frequency in the above formula we get :

Speed = (2m)\times (170\frac{1}{s})

Speed = 340\frac{m}{s}
