How well did tossing the pennies simulate half lives?

1 answer:

5 0

Its a 50% chance that approx 1/2 of the pennies will land on tails. The next toss will result the same. and so on and so on. showing how a reaction would slowly eliminate 1/2 of the remaining lives per reaction, until nothing is left. I think it is a good stimulation.

What is the difference between “mass number” and “atomic mass”? which is found on the periodic table?

Greeley [361]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type.

A gaseous mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a

Semenov [28]

Answer: The correct answer is Option d.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass percentage of $CH_4$ = 20 %

So, mole fraction of $CH_4$ = 0.2

Mass percentage of $C_2H_4$ = 30 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_4$ = 0.3

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2$ = 35 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2$ = 0.35

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2O$ = 15 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2O$ = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_4$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2$ = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2O$ = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}$

where,

$\chi_i$ = mole fractions of i-th species

$m_i$ = molar masses of i-th species

$n_i$ = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}$

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75$

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

17. Write the molecular balanced equation for the recovering of copper metal. 18. Write the complete ionic balanced equation for

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

17. it goes from solid copper to aqueous copper:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

18. complete ionic:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

19. net ionic, must include only reacting species, so

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

20. this type of reaction is dissolution reaction(redox reaction)

copper reduced from Cu²⁺ to Cu.
