Answer: The initial acceleration of the proton = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

The initial acceleration of the electron = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Explanation: The force of attraction between the proton and electron can be computed using the statements of Coulomb's law which state that the force of attraction between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

F = (Kq1q2)/(r^2) where K = (9 × (10^9) Nm(C^-2))

But q1 is the charge on a proton = (1.6 × (10^-19)) C

q2 is charge on an electron = -(1.6 × (10^-19)) C

r = (5.50 × (10^-10))mm = (5.50 × (10^-13))m

Computing all that, F = 0.0007616529 N = (7.62 × 10^-4) N

But the force of attraction is converted to that required for motion when they're released.

F = ma.

For proton, m = (1.67 × 10^-27) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(1.67 × 10^-27) = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

For electron, m = (9.11 × 10^-31) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(9.11 × 10^-31) = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Calculate the enthalpy of reaction for 2CO + O2 → 2CO2. given the following bond energies:
kotegsom [21]

Answer : The enthalpy change for the reaction is 1043 kJ/mol.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

2CO+O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2

As we know that:

The enthalpy change of reaction = E(bonds broken) - E(bonds formed)

\Delta H=[(2\times B.E_{C\equiv O})+(1\times B.E_{O\equiv O})]-[2\times B.E_{C=O}]

Given:

B.E_{C\equiv O} = 1074 kJ/mol

B.E_{O\equiv O} = 499 kJ/mol

B.E_{C=O} = 802 kJ/mol

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\Delta H=[(2\times 1074kJ/mol)+(1\times 499kJ/mol)]-[2\times 802kJ/mol]

\Delta H=1043kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy change for the reaction is 1043 kJ/mol.

How many molecules are there in 2.30 grams of NH3
mixer [17]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

2.30 g NH3 (1 mol / 17.03 g ) (</span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 8.13x10^22 molecules

How many grams of KCl are needed to prepare 0.750 L of a 1.50 M solution in water?
dlinn [17]

Answer: Option A) 83.9g

Explanation:

KCl is the chemical formula of potassium chloride.

Given that,

Amount of moles of KCl (n) = ?

Volume of KCl solution (v) = 0.75L

Concentration of KCl solution (c) = 1.5M

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

make n the subject formula

n = c x v

n = 1.5M x 0.75L

n = 1.125 mole

Now given that,

Amount of moles of KCl (n) = 1.125

Mass of KCl in grams = ?

For molar mass of KCl, use the molar masses of:

Potassium, K = 39g;

Chlorine,Cl = 35.5g

KCl = (39g + 35.5g)

= 74.5g/mol

Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

1.125 mole = m / 74.5g/mol

m = 1.125 mole x 74.5g/mol

m = 83.81g

Thus, 83.9 grams of KCl are needed to prepare 0.750 L of a 1.50 M solution in water

You are given a sample of limestone, which is mostly CaCO3, to determine the mass percentage of Ca in the rock. You dissolve the
irakobra [83]

Answer:

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

Explanation:

Mass of precipitate that is calcium oxalate = 140.2 mg = 0.1402 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of calcium oxalate = \frac{0.1402 g}{128 g/mol}=0.001095 mol

1 mole of calcium oxalate have 1 mole of calcium atom.

Then 0.001095 moles of calcium oxalate will have 0.001095 moles of calcium atom.

Mass of 0.001095 moles of calcium :

0.001095 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.04381 g

Mass of sample of limestone = 128.3 mg = 0.1283 g

Percentage of calcium in limestone:

\frac{0.04381 g}{0.1283 g}\times 100=34.15\%

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.
