Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?

Chemistry

As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionizat
gladu [14]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.

One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.

Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.

For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.

Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.

Which scientist discovered that the atomic number, rather than the atomic weight, is more responsible for the properties of an e
myrzilka [38]

<em>Answer:</em>

  • The correct option is Moseley who has discovered the atomic number.

<em>Explanation:</em>

  • In 1913, H. Moseley discovered a new properties of an element atomic number. He observed that elements in the periodic table can be arranged better according to atomic number rather than atomic mass.
  • The atomic number of any elements is always equal to numbers of electrons in it.

13. How many moles of sodium hydroxide are needed to neutralize 50grams of sulfuric acid?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1.02mole

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

     2NaOH  +  H₂SO₄ →  Na₂SO₄  + 2H₂O

Given:

Mass of H₂SO₄  = 50g

Unknown:

Number of moles of NaOH = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first find the number of moles of the acid given;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16)  = 98g/mol

Now;

   Number of moles = \frac{50}{98}   = 0.51mole

From the balanced reaction equation:

       1 mole of H₂SO₄ will be neutralized by 2 mole of NaOH

     0.51 mole of H₂SO₄ will be neutralized by 2 x 0.51  = 1.02mole of NaOH
