Give an example of a state function and explain why it is a state function

State functions include density, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy. Such a relation cannot be written for path functions, especially since these cannot be defined for the limiting states. Path functions depend on the route taken between two states. Two examples of path functions are heat and work.

Precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed (T/F)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Precipitation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which two aqueous solution upon mixing together results in the formation of an insoluble solid.

For example, NaCl(aq) + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow NaNO_{3}(aq) + AgCl(s)

Here AgCl is present in solid state so, it is the precipitate.

But it is not necessarily true that two aqueous solutions will always result in the formation of a precipitate.

For example, NaCl(aq) + KNO_{3}(aq) \rightarrow KCl(aq) + NaNO_{3}(aq)

Hence, we can conclude that the statement precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed, is false.

An unknown gaseous substance has a density of 1.06 g/L at 31 °C and 371 torr. If the substance has the following percent composi
Anarel [89]

Answer:

C) C4H6 - Right answer

Explanation:

Let's combine the Ideal Gases Law with density to get the molecular formula for the unknown gas.

Density = mass / volume

1.06 g /L means that 1.06 grams of compound occupy 1 liter of volume.

P . V = n . R . T

Pressure in Torr must be converted to atm

760 Torr are 1 atm

371 Torr  are __ (371 .1)/760 = 0.488 atm

0.488 atm . 1L = 1.06g/MM . 0.082 . 304K

(0.488 atm . 1L) / 0.082 . 304K = 1.06g/ MM

Mass / Molar mass = Moles → That's why the 1.06 g / MM

0.0195 mol = 1.06g / MM

1.06g/0.0195 mol = MM →  54.3 g/m

Now, let's use the composition

100 g of compound have 88.8 g of C

54.3 g of compound have ___ (54.3  . 88.8) /100 = 48 g of C

100 g of compound have 11.2 g of H

54.3 g of compound have __ (54.3  .  11.2)/100 = 6 g of H

48 g of C are included un 4 atoms

6 g of H are included in 6 atoms

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

Which of the following reactions could be used to extract the lead from the lead nitrate?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Option b. Decomposition

Followed by a reduction process using charcoal

Explanation:

Lead can be obtained from lead nitrate by thermal decomposition of lead nitrate as shown below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

The PbO obtained is reduced by charcoal(C) to obtain the metallic Pb as shown below:

2PbO + C —> Pb + CO2
