During an experiment, it is observed that iron powder sinks in water and sulfur powder floats in water. What will most likely be

observed when sulfur powder and iron powder are mixed together and then added to water?
Sulfur will float and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.
Iron will float and sulfur will sink because each will lose its properties.
Both will float because they are physically mixed.
Both will float because they react chemically.

someone pls help me, i literally don't understand chem
Ill give 50 points

Sulfur will float, and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.

“Iron will float, and sulfur will sink because each will lose its properties” is <em>incorrect</em>. A substance will lose its properties only if it reacts to form a new substance.

“Both will float because they are physically mixed” is <em>incorrect</em>. The substances in a mixture retain their properties.

“Both will float because they react chemically” is <em>incorrect</em>. Iron and sulfur do not react at room temperature. Even if they did, the iron sulfide would sink.

Answer:

Sulfur will float and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because sulfur powder and iron powder are two different things, with different properties. Even if they are added to water and mixed around, they still retain their properties since no actual chemical activity was performed on them (they were just mixed by physical means). Hence, the sulfur will float back up, as it does initially, and the iron will sink, as it had initially.

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air
Yanka [14]

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

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

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s

b) for completion of 32% of reaction  

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}

t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}

t=44.3s

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction  

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}

t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}

t=191s

The specific silver is How many joules of energy are needed to warm 4.37 g of silver from 25.0 degrees * C to 27.5 degrees * C ?
Alexxandr [17]

0.24J/g*degC * 4.37g * 2.5degC = 2.622J

The 2.5 degC is the difference between 25 and 27.5 deg C.

The nuclear binding energy of one nitrogen-14 atom is (BLANK) x 10A J. Round to 3
d1i1m1o1n [39]

mass defect = mass of constituents - mass of atom

N has 7p and 9n

proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu

neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu

electron mass ~ 0.000549 amu

Nitrogen mass ~ 14.003074 amu

mass defect = (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549) - 14.003074

= 0.11235amu

convert to energy, the binding energy = 1.68x10^-11 J
