Answer: B. It’s a dilute strong base.


Explanation:


1) Definition of acids and bases: as per Bronsted-Lowry model, an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions and a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions.

Ca(OH)₂ does not have hydrogen ions to donate, but it can accept hydrogen ions to form H₂O according to this equation: H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O.

Hence,  Ca(OH)₂ is a base.


2) Definition of strong base: a strong base is a base that dissociates completely into metallic and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions, while a weak base dissociates partially.


Hence, Ca(OH)₂ is a strong base.


3) Definition of dilute: it refers to a solution meaning that the substance is not pure and the concentration is low. Since, the solution the Ca(OH)₂ is 0.02 M means that it is dilute.


Therefore, we have found that the description of 0.02 M Ca(OH)₂ is that is is a dilute strong base (option B).

1. Describe a procedure to separate a mixture of salt, sand, and water.
Brilliant_brown [7]
1.  A filter was used to separate the sand from the salt water solution (The process of decanting was used if a filer was not available).
2.  A Bunsen burner was used to boil away the water from the salt water solution leaving only salt.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

In an electrically heated boiler, water is boiled at 140°C by a 90 cm long, 8 mm diameter horizontal heating element immersed in
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Volume of water = 0.25 m^{3}

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore,  mass of water = Density × Volume

                       = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 0.25 m^{3}

                       = 250 kg  

Initial Temperature of water (T_{1}) = 20^{o}C

Final temperature of water = 140^{o}C

Heat of vaporization of water (dH_{v}) at 140^{o}C  is 2133 kJ/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/kg/K

As 25% of water got evaporated at its boiling point (140^{o}C) in 60 min.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated = 0.25 × 250 (kg) = 62.5 kg

Heat required to evaporate = Amount of water evapotaed × Heat of vaporization

                           = 62.5 (kg) × 2133 (kJ/kg)

                           = 133.3 \times 10^{3} kJ

All this heat was supplied in 60 min = 60(min)  × 60(sec/min) = 3600 sec

Therefore, heat supplied per unit time = Heat required/time = \frac{133.3 \times 10^{3}kJ}{3600 s} = 37 kJ/s or kW

The power rating of electric heating element is 37 kW.

Hence, heat required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 250 kg of water = Mass of water × specific heat capacity × (140 - 20)

                      = 250 (kg) × 40184 (kJ/kg/K) × (140 - 20) (K)

                     = 125520 kJ  

Time required = Heat required / Power rating

                       = \frac{125520}{37}

                       = 3392 sec

Time required to raise the temperature from 20^{o}C to 140^{o}C of 0.25 m^{3} water is calculated as follows.

                    \frac{3392 sec}{60 sec/min}

                     = 56 min

Thus, we can conclude that the time required to raise the temperature is 56 min.

If there are 40 mol of NBr3 and 48 mol of NaOH, what is the excess reactant?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

3NaOH+2NBr_3\rightarrow 3HOBr+3NaBr+N_2

Moles of NBr_3 = 40 mol

Moles of NaOH = 48 mol

According to reaction, 3 moles of NaOH reacts with 2 moles NBr_3

Then ,48 moles of NaOH will reacts with:

\frac{2}{3}\times 48 mol=32 mol of NBr_3

Then ,40 moles of NaBr_3 will reacts with:

\frac{3}{2}\times 40 mol=60 mol of NaOH

As we can see that 48 moles of sodium will completey react with 32 moles of nitrogen tribromide.

Moles left after reaction = 40 mol - 32 mol = 8 mol

Hence, the NBr_3 is an excessive reagent.

In an area in which electricity costs 8 cents/kilowatt-hour, a 5 kW clothes dryer runs for 90 minutes to dry a load of laundry.
Orlov [11]
90 minutes is 1.5 hours.

5 kW * 1.5 hours = 7.5 kWh

8c/kWh * 7.5 kWh = 60 cents
