Answer:

If three or more pounds of pressure is placed on glass, then it will break.

Explanation:

This is a hypothesis because it is a statement that can be tested and can be drawn a conclusion from, as you can see the others can be tested but then you have too many factors that are not taken care of, for example how big will the rock you throw to the glass be, glasses cna break because of changes in temperature, and other factors that weren´t taken into account when doing them that the only one that could work as a hypothesis would be: If three or more pounds of pressure is placed on glass, then it will break.

What pressure will be produced when 2.0 moles of N2 gas is heated to 68oC in a container that holds 1.25 of gas?

Stella [2.4K]

The pressure of the nitrogen gas produced is determined as 44.77 atm.

<h3>What is the pressure of the Nitrogen gas?</h3>

The pressure of the nitrogen gas is determined from ideal gas equation, as shown below;

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

where;

n is number of moles = 2 moles
R is ideal gas constant = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K
T is temperature = 68⁰C = 68 + 273 = 341 K
V is volume = 1.25 L

P = (2 x 0.08205 x 341)/(1.25)

P = 44.77 atm.

How many grams of NH3 can be produced from 12.0g of H2?

RSB [31]

Answer:

Balanced reaction:

3 H2 (g) + N2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g)

Use stoichiometry to convert g of H2 to g of NH3. The process would be:

g H2 → mol H2 → mol NH3 → g NH3

12.0 g H2 x (1 mol H2 / 2.02 g H2) x (2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2) x (17.03 g NH3 / 1 mol NH3) = 67.4 g NH3

Explanation: See above

Hope this helps, friend.

Which statement correctly identifies the nuclide that is most likely to be unstable and describes why?

iVinArrow [24]

The answer would be B.

U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.

It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.

C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.

The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24

What we call "tin cans" are really iron cans coated with a thin layer of tin. The anode is a bar of tin and the cathode is the i

UNO [17]

Answer:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$

Explanation:

Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.

The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

$Sn (s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

$Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Fe (s)$

The net equation is then:

$Sn (s) + Fe^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)$

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:

Actual anode half-equation:

$Fe (s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Actual cathode half-equation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Sn (s)$

Actual net reaction:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$
