Students in Ms. Winters' class were interested in testing the antibacterial strength of hand soap versus hand sanitizer. The stu

dents planned to wash their hands using the sanitizer or soap and warm water for two minutes, then dry their hands with a paper towel. The standard of comparison would be rubbing their hands vigorously for 2 minutes in warm water, without any soap or sanitizer, and then drying with a paper towel. The sanitizer advertisement claimed to kill bacteria more effectively than any soap. After washing, hands would be swabbed and then the swab applied to a culture plate and incubated. Finally, the bacterial cultures would be counted.
What would be an appropriate research question to guide this scientific investigation?
A) What method kills bacteria?
B) Under what conditions does bacteria grow best?
C) Is hand sanitizer more effective in killing bacteria than hand soap?
D) How does using hand sanitizer to kill bacteria compare to using just warm water?

If 27.3% of a sample of silver-112 decays in 1.52 hours, what is the half-life (in hours to 3 decimal places)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.

To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 1.52 hrs

[A_o] = Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g

[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{1.52hrs}\log \frac{100}{72.7}\\\\k= 0.2098hr^{-1}

To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life period of first order reaction = ?

k = rate constant = 0.2098hr^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.2098hr^{-1}}\\\\t_{1/2}=3.303hrs

Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

Which describes why Mendeleev succeeded where others failed?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

  • <em>He realized that some elements had not been discovered.</em>

Explanation:

Some scientists that tried to arrange the list of elements known before Mendeleev include Antoine Lavoisier, Johann Döbereiner, Alexandre Béguyer de Chancourtois, John Newlands, and Julius Lothar Meyer.

<em>Dimitri Mendeleev</em> was so succesful that he is recognized as the most important in such work.

Mendeleev by writing the properties of the elements on cards elaborated by him, and "playing" trying to order them, realized that, some properties regularly (periodically) repeated.

The elements were sorted in increasing atomic weight (which is not the actual order in the periodic table), but when an element did not meet the pattern discovered, he moved it to a position were its properties fitted.

The amazing creativity of Mendeleev led him to leave blanks for what he thought were places that should be occupied by elements yet undiscovered. More amazing is that he was able to predict the properties of some of those elements.

When years after some of the elements were discovered, the genius of Mendeleev was proven because the "new" elements had the properties predicted by him.

How can you differentiate the Atomic Structure and the Bohr Model? In other words, how is the Atomic Structure different from th
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in circular paths; whereas in the modern view atomic electron structure is more like 3D standing waves. Bohr built upon Rutherford's model of the atom. ... He believed that electrons moved around the nucleus in circular orbits with quantised potential and kinetic energies.

An aqueous solution is 40.0 % by mass hydrochloric acid, HCl, and has a density of 1.20 g/mL. The mole fraction of hydrochloric
vivado [14]

Answer:

The molar concentration of HCl in the aqueous solution is 0.0131 mol/dm3

Explanation:

To get the molar concentration of a solution we will use the formula:

<em>Molar concentration = mass of HCl/ molar mass of HCl</em>

<em></em>

Mass of HCl in the aqueous solution will be 40% of the total mass of the solution.

We can extract the mass of the solution from its density which is 1.2g/mL

We will further perform our analysis by considering only 1 ml of this aqueous solution.

The mass of the substance present in this solution is 1.2g.

<em>The mass of HCl Present is 40% of 1.2 = 0.48 g.</em>

The molar mass of HCl can be obtained from standard tables or by adding the masses of Hydrogen (1 g) and Chlorine (35.46 g) = 36.46g/mol

Therefore, the molar concentration of HCl in the aqueous solution is 0.48/36.46 = 0.0131 mol/dm3
