Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

What is the pH of 1.00 L of a buffer that is 0.110 M nitrous acid (HNO2) and 0.200 M NaNO2? (pKa of HNO2 = 3.40)
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

pH = 3.65    

Explanation:

given data

pKa of HNO2 = 3.40

nitrous acid (HNO2) = 0.110 M

NaNO2 = 0.200 M

to find out

What is the pH

solution

we get here ph for acidic buffer  that is express as

pH = pKa + log(salt÷acid)      ........................1

put here value and we get

pH = 3.40 + log(0.200÷0.110)

pH = 3.65

List the number of each type of atom on the left side of the equation 2C10H22(l)+31O2(g)→20CO2(g)+22H2O(g)
Leokris [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>20, 44, 62 </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To find the number of atoms of each element, we multiply coefficient and subscript  

For example 5 Ca_1 Cl_2 contains  

5 × 1 = 5 ,Ca atoms and

5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms  

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula  

For example 3Ca_3 (P_1 O_4 )_2

we multiply coefficient × subscript × number outside the bracket to find the number of atoms  

(Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

So

3 × 3 = 9 , Ca atoms  

3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms  

3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present.

So let us find the number of atoms of each element on the left  side of the equation  

2C_{10} H_{22} (l)+31O_2 (g)\Rightarrow 20CO_2 (g)+22H_2 O(g)

Number of C atoms = 2 × 10 = 20

Number of H atoms = 2 × 22 = 44

Number of O atoms = 31 × 2 = 62

20, 44, 62  are the Answers.

Which of the following will stay constant, no matter if the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gas state? volume shape temper
Harman [31]

Answer : The correct option is, Mass

Explanation :

As we know that there are 3 states of matter :

Solid state : It is a state in which the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. This state have a definite shape and volume.

Liquid state : It is a state in which the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another. This state have a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape.

Gaseous state : It is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. This state have indefinite volume as well as shape.

If we are taking 100 grams of ice then after melting its mass remains same but its shape, volume and temperature will be changed and after evaporation its mass remains same but its shape, volume and temperature will be changed.

Hence, the mass will stay constant, no matter if the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gas state.

CHEM PLZ HELP, Which thermochemical equation represents the most exothermic reaction?
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is option 3, C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O.

Explanation:

In an exothermic reaction, the energy change(ΔH) will always be a negative value.

For endothermic reaction, the energy change's value is positive.

In the options above, option 1 and 2 are endothermic reaction.
