An industrial chemist is studying a sample of an unknown metal. Describe two ways he could change the metal physically and two w

ays he could change the metal chemically to try to identify it.

Trava [24]2 years ago

Answer:

Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.  

Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.

When biological samples of unknown origins are discovered at a crime scene, what should investigators do?a. assume no pathogens
adoni [48]

Answer: assume pathogens are present and treat the samples accordingly

Explanation:

When investigators are unable to conclusively ascertain the source of a biological sample found at a crime scene, the correct thing to do is to treat it as if pathogens are present in it and handle it according to set rules on how to handle pathogens.

This is done to ensure that if a pathogen is indeed present, it would not cause a health emergency by infecting those who come in contact with the samples at the scene.

A sample of gas has an initial pressure of 1.5 atm, an initial volume of 3.0 L, and an initial temperature of 293K. If the final
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1.9 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial pressure (P₁): 1.5 atm
  • Initial volume (V₁): 3.0 L
  • Initial temperature (T₁): 293 K
  • Final pressure (P₂): 2.5 atm
  • Final volume (V₂): ?
  • Final temperature (T₂): 303 K

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of the gas

If we assume ideal behavior, we can calculate the final volume of the gas using the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂ / T₁ × P₂

V₂ = 1.5 atm × 3.0 L × 303 K / 293 K × 2.5 atm = 1.9 L

How much faster does ethane (C2H6) gas travel compared to chlorine gas?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{54 $\, \%$ faster }}

Explanation:

v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}

if temperature is constant.  

v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{M}

if we are comparing two gases,

\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}

Let chlorine be Gas 1 and ethane be Gas 2

Data:

M₁ =  70.91 g/mol

M₂ = 30.07 g/mol

Calculation

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{\dfrac{70.91}{30.07}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{2.358}\\\\& = & \mathbf{1.54}\\\end{array}\\\text{Ethane molecules travel at 1.54 times the speed of chlorine molecules}\\\text{or $\large \boxed{\textbf{54 $\%$ faster }}$ than chlorine molecules}
