Mercury is 13.6 times as dense as liquid water. What would be the reading of a water-filled barometer at normal atmospheric pres

Density = mass / volume
Because the dimensions of the barometer are the same for each case, we can compare the heights of the liquids instead of the volume.

ρ(mercury) = 13.6ρ(water)
mass(mercury)/760 = 13.6 x mass(water)/Height(water)

Masses of the liquids will also be the same.

Height of water = 13.6 x 760
Height of water = 10,336 mm

How many moles does 21.7 L of gas at STP represent?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The number of moles represented by 21.7 L is 0.96875 moles

Explanation:

The volume occupied by one mole of a gas which consists of (approximately) 6.022 × 10²³ elementary at STP is 22.4 L. The volume is known as the molar volume of gas

Therefore, the number of moles, 'n', present in 21.7 L of gas at STP is given as follows;

The number of moles represented by 22.4 L = 1 mole

∴ The number of moles represented by 21.7 L = 1 mole/22.4 L × 21.7 L = 0.96875 moles

The number of moles represented by 21.7 L = 0.96875 moles.

When silver nitrate is added to the Fe/SCN equilibrium, why is the colorless intense and a precipitate forms?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

You have an equilibrium reaction between Fe³⁺/ SCN⁻ and FeSCN²⁺.

\underbrace{\hbox{Fe$^{3+}$}}_{\text{pale yellow-green}} +\underbrace{\hbox{SCN$^{-}$}}_{\text{colourless}} \, \rightleftharpoons \, \underbrace{\hbox{Fe(SCN)$^{2+}$}}_{\text{deep blood red}} \\

When you add AgNO₃, the Ag⁺ reacts with the SCN⁻. It forms a colourless precipitate of Ag(SCN).

Ag⁺(aq) + SCN⁻(aq) ⟶ AcSCN(s)

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when we apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

If you add Ag⁺ to the equilibrium solution, it removes the SCN⁻ [as an Ag(SCN) precipitate].

The system responds by trying to replace the missing SCN⁻:

The Fe(SCN)²⁺ dissociates to form SCN⁻, so the position of equilibrium shifts to the left,

You now have more Fe³⁺ and SCN⁻ and less of the highly coloured Fe(SCN)²⁺ at the new equilibrium.

The deep red colour becomes less intense.

Why is it difficult to accurately represent ammonia and methane on paper?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is because the molecular structure.

Explanation:

The difficulty of ammonia and methane to be represented on paper is due to the molecular structure. These compounds have a three-dimensional projection with defined angles. Ammonia presents angles of 109.5º between the atom of Nitrogen and those of Oxygen. The ammonia presents 107.8º between the oxygen atoms.

In the methane molecule, there is 109.5º between the hydrogen molecules and the carbon atom. This results in the need for a 3D representation of the molecule.

Have a nice day!
