Answer:

The elements in Group 2 (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium) are called the alkaline earth metals (see Figure below). These elements have two valence electrons, both of which reside in the outermost s sublevel. The general electron configuration of all alkaline earth metals is ns

According to Archimedes' principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. A 150-lb

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

$\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3$

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

E. The element 231/90Th decays to 231/91 Pa. Use the laws of conservation of charge and nucleon number to determine the decay pa

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A negatron emission

Explanation:

We know that radioactivity orginates from instability of the nucleus. When the nucleus is unstable, radioactive emissions are produced in the form of any of these rays:

> Alpha particle emisson

>Beta particles

> Gamma rays

These emissions create a balance for a radioactive decay.

In balancing nuclear reactions we make sure that the charges on both sides must be conserved and that the mass number and atomic numbers conserved too. This means that the sum of mass number and atomic numbers on both side of the reaction must be equal.

The nucleons are the protons and neutrons, they add up to give the mass number. The atomic number is the proton number.

For the given radioactive reaction:

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ?

From this equation, we see that the mass number is conserved but the atomic number is not.

The mass number is the superscript whereas the atomic number is the subscript.

Let's say the decay produces an emission of a particle denoted by X

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ᵃₙX

What would the nature of X be?

For the charges and masses to be conserved, X must have mass number of 0 and an atomic number of -1.

Checking:

Mass number:

231 = 231 + a ( a is the mass number)

a = 231 - 231 = 0

Atomic number:

90 = 91 + n

n = 90- 91 = - 1

With X having a mass number of 0 and an atomic number of -1, we have a beta particle emission. Specifically, a negatron has been emitted.

A negatron is denoted as ⁰₋₁β which perfectly makes the equation conserved and suits the description of X.

The complete equation is thus written as:

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ⁰₋₁β + energy

Iron and carbon monoxide are made by heating 5.53 kg of iron ore, Fe₂O₃, and carbon. What is the theoretical yield of iron in ki

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069 ≈ 3.87 kg

Explanation:

From the question the chemical reaction can be written as follow :

Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO

Balance the equation

Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO

compute the molecular mass of Fe2O3 and atomic mass of Iron(Fe)

Molecular mass of Fe2O3 = 55.845(2) + 15.999(3) = 111.69 + 47.997 = 159.687 g

Atomic mass of iron = 55.845 g

From the balanced equation

159.687 g of Fe2O3 produces 2 × 55.845 = 111.69 g of Fe(iron)

Convert the 5.53 kg to gram

1 kg = 1000 g

5.53 kg = 5.53 × 1000 = 5530 g

since,

159.687 g of Fe2O3 produces 2 × 55.845 = 111.69 g of Iron(Fe)

5530 g of Fe2O3 will produce

cross multiply

Mass of Fe produced =5530 × 111.69/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 617645.7

/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 3867.85211069 g

convert to kg

1000 g = 1 kg

3867.85211069 = 3867.85211069/1000

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069 ≈ 3.87 kg

What is the minimum amount of 6.0 M H2SO4H2SO4 necessary to produce 25.0 g of H2(g)H2(g) according to the reaction between alumi

Lelechka [254]

2.083 Liters of 6.0 M solution sulfuric acid is required. This solved using molecular calculations and Titration.

Solution: $2Al(s)+3H_2SO_4(aq) = Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq)+3H_2(g)$

Moles of hydrogen gas = $\frac{25}{2} = 12.5 mol$

Then 12.5 moles of hydrogen will be obtained from Moles of Sulfuric acid = 12.5 mol

Molarity of the sulfuric acid solution = 6.0 M = 6 mol/ l

6M = $\frac{12.5 mole}{V}$

where V is the volume needed

$V = \frac{12.5}{6}$

V = 2.083 l

<h3>What is Titration?</h3>

Titration, commonly referred to as titrimetry, is a typical quantitative chemical analysis method used in laboratories to ascertain the unidentified quantity of an analyte .
Titration is frequently referred to as volumetric analysis because it relies heavily on volume measurements. The titrant or titrator is a reagent that is prepared as a standard solution.
To determine concentration, a solution of the analyte or titrand reacts with a known concentration and volume of the titrant. The titration volume is the amount of titrant that has responded.
Titrations come in a variety of forms with various protocols and objectives. Redox and acid-base titrations are the two most typical types of qualitative titrations.

The chemical shift of the CH3 protons in diethylether is δ = 1.16 and that of the CH2 protons is 3.36. What is the difference in

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Where Blocal = local magnetic field between the two regions of the molecule

Blocal = (1-σ)B0

ΔBlocal = (1-σ1)B0 - (1-σ2)B0 = (σ2 - σ1)B0 = ΔσB0 ≈ ΔδB0 x 10∧-6

= (3.36-1.16) x 10∧-6 x B0 = 2.20 x 10∧-6B0

(a) ΔBlocal = 2.20 x 10∧-6 x 1.9T = 4.2 μT

(b) ΔBlocal = 2.20 x 10∧-6 x 16.5T = 36.3 μT
