A.) Aluminum is the correct answer
aleksandr82 [10.1K]3 years ago

The correct answer is aluminium.

Beta radiation consists of electrons that are ejected by the nucleus. Beta particles have the charge of an electrons and the mass of an electron.  Beta particles are quite small , giving them the ability to travel through materials a bit longer before collisions with other particles makes them stop hence they can not be stopped by skin, a piece of paper and thin fabric. Their size accounts for why they have more penetration abilities than alpha particles which are large and can be stopped by a thin piece of paper. However, it is known that a few millimeters of aluminium sheet is able to stop beta particles.

The correct answer is aluminium.

A 0.0000792 M sample of Compound X in a solvent has an absorbance of 0.341 at 528 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet. The solvent alone has
natima [27]

Answer:

a) a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) C = 0,000127 M

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law says that there is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of a chemical substance. The formula is:

A = a×b×C

Where A is absorbance, a is molar absorptivity, b is path length and C is concentration.

a) In the problem Concentration is 0.0000792 M, b is 1,000cm and Absorbance is absorbance of sample-absorbance of blank: 0,341-0,065 = 0,276

Replacing:

0,276 = a×1,000cm×0,0000792M

<em>a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹</em>

b) As the experiment consist in the same compound in the same solvent, the molar absorptivity will be the same, a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, path length will be 1,000cm and absorbance: 0,508-0,065 = 0,443

Replacing:

0,443 = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹×1,000cm×C

<em>C = 0,000127 M </em>

<em></em>

Draw a sodium formate molecule. The structure has been supplied here for you to copy. To add formal charges, click the button be
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1

A dunk tank hold 30,533 moles of water? How many grams of water are in the tank?
liubo4ka [24]

The mass of water in the tank, given the data from the question is 549594 g

<h3> Description of mole </h3>

The mole of a substance is related to it's mass and molar mass according to the following equation:

Mole = mass / molar mass

<h3>How to determine the mass of water in the tank</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Mole of water = 30533 moles
  • Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
  • Mass of water = ?

The mass of the water can be obtained as follow:

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of water = 30533 × 18

Mass of water = 549594 g

Consider the solution containing 0.181 M lead ions and 0.174
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

[ S2- ] = 4.0 E-47 M

Explanation:

  • PbS(s) → Pb2+  +  S2-
  • HgS(s) → Hg2+  +  S2-

∴ Ksp PbS = 3.4 E-28 = [Pb2+]*[S2-]

∴ [Pb2+] = 0.181 M

∴ Ksp HgS = 4.0 E-53 = [Hg2+]*[S2-]

∴ [Hg2+] = 0.174 M

∴ Ksp PbS > Ksp HgS ⇒ precipitate first Hg2+:

∴ [ Hg2+ ] = 1.0 E-6 M

⇒ [S2-] = 4.0 E-53 / 1.0 E-6 = 4.0 E-47 M
