The piece of information that Ryan can use to best identify an element is C. How many protons the element has.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option c.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles: Neutrons, protons and electrons.

  1. Neutrons: These particles does not carry any charge and are located inside the nucleus.
  2. Protons: These particles carry positive charge and are also located inside the nucleus.
  3. Electrons: These particles carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus in the orbits. If an element looses 1 electron, it will carry positive charge and if an element gains 1 electron, it will carry a negative charge.

Element is identified by its atomic number. Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

If one, identifies the number of protons, then the element is easily identified. Electrons on the other hand are easy to remove or add, so it is not convenient to use the number of electrons in identifying the element.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

On a warm summer day in Oslo, the temperature is 21 degree C and the relative humidity is 70%. What is the absolute humidity? Wh
lesya [120]

Explanation:

According to the psychrometric chart at dry bulb temperature of 21^{o}C and RH 70%, the absolute humidity = 0.011 kg/kg dry air

Formula to calculate humid volume is as follows.

       \nu_{H} m^{3}/kg dry air = \frac{22.41}{273}TK (\frac{1}{28.97} + \frac{1}{18.02}H)

                     = (2.83 \times 10^{-3} + 4.56 \times 10^{-3} H) T K

                     = (2.83 \times 10^{-3} + 4.56 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.011) \times 294

                       = 0.847 m^{3}/kg dry air

Hence, humid volume of air is 0.847 m^{3}/kg dry air.

Specific enthalpy of dry air  = specific heat capacity of dry air × dry bulb temperature

                    = 1.006 kJ/kg ^{o}C \times 21^{o}C

                    = 21.126 kJ/kg dry air

Hence, the specific enthalpy of the air is 21.126 kJ/kg dry air.

As per the psychrometric chart at given conditions wet bulb temperature = 17.5 ^{o}C

As per the psychrometric chart at given conditions dew point temperature = 15.5 ^{o}C

The activation energy for a given reaction is 56 kj/mol. at what temperature would the rate constant be quadruple what is was at
Alex787 [66]

The rate equation is given as:

k = A e^(- Ea / RT)

 

Dividing state 1 and state 2:

k1/k2 = e^(- Ea / RT1) / e^(- Ea / RT2)

k1/k2 = e^[- Ea / RT1 - (- Ea / RT2)]

k1/k2 = e^[- Ea / RT1 + Ea / RT2)]

 

Taking the ln of both sides:

ln (k1/k2) = - Ea / RT1 + Ea / RT2

ln (k1/k2) = - Ea / R (1/T1 - 1/T2)

 

Since k2 = 4k1, therefore k1/k2 = ¼

 

ln (1/4) = [- (56,000 J/mol) / (8.314 J / mol K)] (1/273 K – 1/ T2)

2.058 x 10^-4 = 1/273 – 1/T2

T2 = 289.25 K

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
icang [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that length of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond strength. This also means that a single bond has long length due to which it is weak in nature.

And, a double bond is shorter in length and has more strength as compared to a single bond. Whereas a triple bond has the smallest length and it has high strength as compared to a double or single bond.

For example, carbon monoxide is CO where there is a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

Carbon dioxide is CO_{2} where there exists a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

A carbonate ion is CO^{2-}_{3} when two oxygen atoms are attached through single bond with the carbon atom and another oxygen atom is attached through a double bond to the carbon atom.

Hence, we can conclude that order of increasing bond strength of the given carbon oxygen bond is as follows.

        Carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide
