Chemistry
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that polyethene which have high density and these are generally safe plastics which does not transfer any chemicals to food ingredients. In most of the industries, these type of plastics have large application because these can be used to prepare plant pots, plastic woods, furniture etc.

High density polyethene is also known by the short form HDPE.

Whereas low density polyethene (LDPE), PVC, polystyrene and polypropylene are not safe plastics and they tend to harm the environment. So, they are not safe to store or preserve food items.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HDPE polymers is used in plastic bottles and plastic containers.

Fill in the blanks for the following statements: The rms speed of the molecules in a sample of H2 gas at 300 K will be _________
Anna007 [38]

Answer : The rms speed of the molecules in a sample of H_2 gas at 300 K will be four times larger than the rms speed of O_2 molecules at the same temperature, and the ratio \mu _{rms}(H_2)/\mu _{rms}(O_2) constant with increasing temperature.

Explanation :

Formula used for root mean square speed :

\mu _{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

where,

\mu _{rms} = rms speed of the molecule

R = gas constant

T = temperature

M = molar mass of the gas

At constant temperature, the formula becomes,

\mu _{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

And the formula for two gases will be,

\frac{\mu _{H_2}}{\mu _{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{O_2}}{M_{H_2}}}

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2 = 2 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

\frac{\mu _{H_2}}{\mu _{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32g/mole}{M_{2g/mole}}}=4

Therefore, the rms speed of the molecules in a sample of H_2 gas at 300 K will be four times larger than the rms speed of O_2 molecules at the same temperature.

And the ratio \mu _{rms}(H_2)/\mu _{rms}(O_2) constant with increasing temperature because rms speed depends only on the molar mass of the gases at same temperature.

. If this same atom with 22 protons and 19 electrons were to gain 3 electrons, the net charge on the atom would be
frez [133]

Answer: No charge (0)

Explanation:

The atom has a proton of 22 and electron number of 19. This means the element has lost 3 electrons. Therefore, the net charge is +3.

So, if this atom gains 3 more electrons, the net charge would be zero (neutral).

The total number of electron would now be 22 which is the same as the proton number.

This implies the atom is now in an unreacted state or ground state.

A 0.2121g sample of an organic compound was burned in a stream of oxygen and the carbon dioxide produced was collected in a stre
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 17.26% of carbon

Explanation:

Data

CxHy = 0.2121 g

BaCO₃ = 0.6006 g

Molecular mass BaCO₃ = 137 + 12 + 48 = 197 g

Reaction

                    CO₂  +  Ba(OH)₂  ⇒   BaCO₃  +  H₂O

Process

1.- Find the amount of carbon in BaCO₃

                              197 g of BaCO₃   ---------------  12 g of Carbon

                               0.6006 g           ----------------    x

                               x = (0.6006 x 12) / 197

                               x = 0.0366 g of carbon

2.- Calculate the percentage of carbon in the organic compound

           0.2121 g of organic compound  ---------------  100%

           0.0366g                                       --------------    x

                              x = (0.0366 x 100) / 0.2121

                              x = 17.26%
