Explain how an automobile air bag protects the people in the car from being hurt as a result of impact

1 answer:

5 0

The quick deployment of the bag which I think is quite similar to a cushion and a balloon. It holds your head/face away from any hard surfaces. Although it does not protect your legs or other extremities that are out of the bags range.

Why is monatomic compound nonsense?

Tamiku [17]

Because mona means 1 atom, and a compound is made up of 2 or more atoms.

An acid with molar mass 84.48 g/mol is titrated with 0.650 M KOH. What volume of KOH solution is needed to titrate 1.70 grams of

RSB [31]

Answer:

$V=0.0310L=3.10mL$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the acid is monoprotic and the KOH has one hydroxyl ion only, we can see that at the equivalence point the moles of both of them are the same:

$n_{acid}=n_{KOH}$

Thus, since we are given 1.70 g of the acid, we compute the moles of acid that were titrated:

$n_{acid}=1.70g*\frac{1mol}{84.48g}=0.0201mol$

Which equal the moles of KOH. In such a way, since the molarity is defined as moles over liters (M=n/V), the liters are moles over molarity (V=n/M), thus, the resulting volume is:

$V=\frac{0.0201mol}{0.650mol/L}\\\\V=0.0310L=3.10mL$

Best regards!

Suppose that a certain biologically important reaction is quite slow at physiological temperature (37 oC) in the absence of a ca

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

30 kJ

Explanation:

Arrhenius equation is given by:

$k=Aexp(-Ea/RT)\\$

Here, k is rate constant, A is Pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy and T is temperature.

taking natural log of both side

ln k = ln A - Ea/RT

In Arrhenius equation, A, R and T are constant.

Therefore,

$ln\frac{k_2}{k_1} =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}$

$Ea_1-Ea_2$ is the lowering in activation energy by enzyme,

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = 37°C + 273.15 = 310 K

$\frac{k_2}{k_1} =1\times 10^5$

$ln 1\times 10^5 =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}\\{Ea_1-Ea_2} = 11.512 \times 8.314 \times 310\\=29670\ J\\=30\ kJ$

Iron 3 oxide and carbon react to form iron and carbon dioxide. Balance the equation.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Explanation:

First of all, you have to translate the words into an equation.

Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + CO2

The easiest way to tackle this is to start with the Oxygens and balance them. They must balance by going to the greatest common factor which is 6. So you multiply the molecule by whatever it takes to get the Oxygens to 6

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + 3 CO2

Now work on the irons. There 2 on the left and just 1 on the right. So you need to multiply the iron by 2.

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Finally it is the turn of the carbons. There are 3 on the right, so you must make the carbon on the left = 3

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

And you are done.

Which pair of atoms has the most polar bond? (1) H−Br (2) H−Cl (3) I−Br (4) I−Cl

S_A_V [24]

For the question given above, option 2 which is H-Cl pair of atoms has the most polar bond among the four of them.

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.
