Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.

Find [H+] of a 0.056 M hydrofluoric acid solution. Ka = 1.45 x 10-7

brilliants [131]

Answer: $[H^+]$ of 0.056 M HF solution is $8.96\times 10^{-5}$

Explanation:

$HF\rightarrow H^+F^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.056 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.45\times 10^{-7}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.45\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(0.056\times \alpha)^2}{(0.056-0.056\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0016$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.056\times 0.0016=8.96\times 10^{-5}$

Thus $[H^+]$ of 0.056 M HF solution is $8.96\times 10^{-5}$

A sample of gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.98 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number of m

kogti [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is $\mathbf{ 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Explanation:

Let assume that the gas is O2 gas

O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.

Under the same conditions;

the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires time t₂ = 6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.

From Graham's Law of Diffusion;

Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

i.e

$R \ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}$

$R = \dfrac{k}{d}$ where K = constant

If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}}$

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

$R = \dfrac{1}{t}$

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}={\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}$

We can equally say:

${\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

${\dfrac{6.34}{4.98}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{32}}$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( \dfrac{6.34}{4.98})^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( 1.273092369)^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times 1.62076418$

$\mathbf{M_2 = 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Compare and contrast solids liquids and gases in terms of volume shape compessibility and energy

tangare [24]

Answer:

solid has definite shape and volume.

liquid do not have definite shape but have definite volume.

gas do not have definite shape and definite volume.

solid have lowest compressibility out of three, liquid have more compressibility than solid but less than gases. gases have the highest compressibility out of three. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

What are some uses of radioactive dating? <br> HELPP PLEASEEEE!!!

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Radioactive dating is a method of dating rocks and minerals using radioactive isotopes. This method is useful for igneous and metamorphic rocks, which cannot be dated by the stratigraphic correlation method used for sedimentary rocks. Over 300 naturally-occurring isotopes are known.

Heavy rainfall causes a landslide. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is a landslide?</h3>

A landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope.

Water can trigger landslides and mudslides because it alters the pressure within the slope, which leads to slope instability.

Consequently, the heavy water-laden slope materials (soil, rock, etc.) will succumb to the forces of gravity.

Hence, option A is correct.
