Answer:

You need to have a clean surface for contact between the solution and the material.

Explanation:

The presence of impurity on the surface of the material, and lack of surface uniformity (smoothness) can reduce the effective contact between material and solution and can interfere with the electroplating process's success.

What is the empirical formula of the compound with the molecular formula c18h36?
emmasim [6.3K]
When we write a formula of a compound in its simplest form, it is empirical formula.
Given the molecular formula is = C₁₈H₃₆
Now we can relate both empirical and molecular formula as;
Molecular formula = n x empirical formula
C₁₈H₃₆ = 18 x CH₂
So the empirical formula of C₁₈H₃₆ is CH₂

A green laser pointer emits light with a wavelength of 542 nm. What is the frequency of this light?
ehidna [41]
As we know that wavelength and frequency is inversely proportional to each other. Greater the wavelength smaller the frequency and vice versa.
 
Solution:


The relation between wavelength and frequency is as follow,

υ = c / λ

where
            υ = frequency = ?
            c = velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹
            λ = wavenumber = 542 nm = 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Putting the given values,
    
            υ = 3.0 × 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 542 × 10⁻⁹ m
Result:
            υ = 5.53 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Calculate the number of grams in 4.56 x 1026 atoms of sodium phosphate. Be sure to balance the charges of sodium phosphate. Help
zalisa [80]

Answer:

124225.91 g of Na₃PO₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of atoms of Na₃PO₄ = 4.56×10²⁶ atoms

Mass of Na₃PO₄ =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

6.02×10²³ atoms = 1 mole of Na₃PO₄

Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of Na₃PO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ = (23×3) + 31 + (16×4)

= 69 + 31 + 64

= 164 g

Thus,

6.02×10²³ atoms = 164 g of Na₃PO₄

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Na₃PO₄ that contains 4.56×10²⁶ atoms. This can be obtained as follow:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 164 g of Na₃PO₄

Therefore,

4.56×10²⁶ atoms = (4.56×10²⁶ × 164)/6.02×10²³

4.56×10²⁶ atoms = 124225.91 g of Na₃PO₄

Therefore, 124225.91 g of Na₃PO₄ contains 4.56×10²⁶ atoms

The boiling point of water is 100ºC. The boiling point of acetone is 56ºC. Which statement about distilling a mixture of acetone
Anika [276]

Answer:

I think  Acetone will be  captured and cooled.

Explanation:

Distillation is a method of separation based on the difference in boiling point of two liquids.

The liquid that has a lower boiling point is first separated from the mixture. It vaporizes, cooled and collected before the liquid that has a higher boiling point.

In this case, acetone is captured and cooled before water since it has a boiling point of 56ºC and water has a boiling point of 100ºC.
