A student performs an experiment that produces solid sodium chloride. He uses four different catalysts and lets the reaction run

for two minutes, and then removes the sodium chloride product. Which is the best way for him to make a consistent measurement that would show the different amounts of sodium chloride produced? A. Measure the product separately on four different scales. B. Measure all of the product together and divide by four. C. Measure the four products separately, but using the same scale each time. D. Measure the amount of sodium chloride in one sample every 10 seconds.

Answer: <span>option C. Measure the four products separately, but using the same scale each time.

</span>
Justification:

Review the choices given one by one.

<span> A. Measure the product separately on four different scales.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>He should not include other variables in the experiment. Using four different scales migh give different results due to differences on the scales.
</span><span>
</span><span>B. Measure all of the product together and divide by four.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>By doing this he will just obtain an average of the amount produced, but in this way he cannot determine the production individually (with each catalyst).
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>C. Measure the four products separately, but using the same scale each time.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Indeed doing this he will be able to  compare and rank the efficiency of each catalyst.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>D. Measure the amount of sodium chloride in one sample every 10 seconds. </span>

He cannot do this without affecting at the same time the evolution of the reaction, and of course by doing it on one sample only he will not be able to compare.

What is the overall charge of the compound frbr
sammy [17]

Answer:

Zero  

Explanation:

FrBr is an ionic compound .

Fr is in Group 1. Br is in Group 17.

The charges on the ions are +1 and -1, respectively.

The compound consists of Fr⁺Br⁻ ions.

However, there are equal numbers of + and - charges, so

The overall charge of the compound is zero.

Which isotope has the greatest number of protons?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:

  • <u>option D:  Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>

Explanation:

The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.

You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.

Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope

Sample       Chemical symbol  Element       atomic number   # of protons

A Pa-238       Pa                         protactinium         91                        91

B U-240         U                          uranium                 92                       92

C Np-238       Np                        neptunium            93                       93

D Pu-239        Pu                        plutonium              94                       94

Which of the following possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

Explanation :

<u>(a) a solution of pH 3.0</u>

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-3.0=11

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

11=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-11}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-11}M

<u>(b) a solution of 0.10 M NH_3</u>

As we know that 1 mole of NH_3 is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.

So, the OH^- concentration will be less than 0.10 M

<u>(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.</u>

We have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

12=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-12}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-12}M

<u>(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH</u>

As we know that NaOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give Na^+ ion and OH^- ion.

So, 0.10 M of NaOH in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of Na^+ ion and 0.10 M of OH^- ion.

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 0.10 M

<u>(e) a 1\times 10^{-4}M solution of HNO_2</u>

As we know that 1 mole of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of H^+ ion and 1 mole of NO_2^- ion.

So, 1\times 10^{-4}M of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1\times 10^{-4}M of H^+ ion and 1\times 10^{-4}M of NO_2^- ion.

The concentration of H^+ ion is 1\times 10^{-4}M

First we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (1.0\times 10^{-4})

pH=4

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-4=10

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

10=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-10}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-10}M

From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hence, the correct option is (d)
