Answer:

Molarity

Explanation:

There are many ways of measuring the concentration of a solution. Molarity is one of them.

Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in one liter of the solution. It is basically the ratio of the moles of the solute to the liters of the solution.

The expression for the molarity, according to its definition is shown below as:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Where, Volume must be in Liter.

It is denoted by M.

A metal forms the fluoride MF3. Electrolysis of the molten fluoride by a current of 3.86 A for 16.2 minutes deposits 1.25 g of t

larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer: </u>The molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fluoride of the metal formed is $MF_3$

The oxidation half-reaction follows:

$M\rightarrow M^{3+}+3e^-$

Calculating the theoretical mass deposited by using Faraday's law, which is:

$m=\frac{M\times I\times t(s)}{n\times F}$ ......(1)

where,

m = actual mass deposited = 1.25 g

M = molar mass of metal = ?

I = average current = 3.86 A

t = time period in seconds = 16.2 min = 972 s (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)

n = number of electrons exchanged = $3mol^{-1}$

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.25g=\frac{M\times 3.86A\times 972s}{3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}\\\\M=\frac{1.25g\times 3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}{3.86A\times 972s}\\\\M=96.45g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

Describe what happens to the mass number and the atomic number of a nuclide during alpha decay.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: The mass number will be 4 units lower.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are Helium atoms, which have a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2.

When an alpha particle is released, the original atom loses 2 protons and and 2 neutrons an we can see in the example.

An asteroid hit the Yucatán Peninsula about 65 million years ago,

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.
