Fofino [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer;

-Prohibited from use by OSHA

Explanation;

-Carbon tetrachloride is a clear and colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of chloroform.It is employed as a chemical reagent for a number of purposes, as a raw material in chemical manufacture and is, used very widely as a reagent to extinguish fires.

-It volatizes very easily, is a non-conductor of electricity and, as noted above, freezes at very low temperatures.

-It is effective, due to the blanketing effect of its vaporized fumes, on many Class B or volatile, flammable liquid fires and because it will mix with certain volatile, flammable liquids and form a non-burning combination.

A rigid vessel contains water at 0.15 MPa (at 25 °C). The vessel is heated to the critical point of water. Calculate the fractio
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.8078 Kg

Explanation:

Pressure of water = 0.15 MPa = 1.5 bar

At critical point of water ,temperature = 647 K=374°C

From the ideal gas equation

P×V= m×R×T

Let us assume volume = 1 m^3

1.5 x 105 x 1 = m x 287 x 647

m= 0.8078 kg

the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.

When the concentration of a substance differs from one area to another, this creates a concentration.
bija089 [108]

The difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient. When a region has a higher particle concentration than another, this is known as a concentration gradient. A concentration gradient will cause particles in passive transport to diffuse down it from higher concentration to lower concentration until they are evenly spaced.

The gradual separation of a region of high density from a region of low density in a solution in terms of the concentration of a dissolved material. Understanding how ions and particles flow randomly in a solution or gas depends on the concentration gradient.

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of ________ and ________ in the nucleus of an atom. Choose two answers from the options
iVinArrow [24]

Answer :

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation :

Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For example :

Number of protons in carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in carbon = 6

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6

Mass number or atomic mass = 12

Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
