Does the chemical symbol of the element beryllium correspond to the name of the element?

Which of the following definitions describes a chemical hazard?

Monica [59]

I think it would be A because hazardous waste would most likely be found in dust, fumes etc. I'm not sure though.

A tank with a height of 100 feet and a constant cross sectional area of 10 ft has a constant input flow of 15 ft /hour of pulp s

kiruha [24]

Answer:

(a) The consistency as a function of time is C=0.15*t.

(b) The tank will become clogged in 24 minutes.

Explanation:

The rate of accumulation of the pulp stock can be defined as

$\frac{dC}{dt}=Q_{i}*C_{i}-Q_{o}*C_{o}$

In this case, Co is 0, because the exit flow is only water and 0% fiber.

$frac{dC}{dt}=Q_{i}*C_{i}-Q_{o}*0=Q_{i}*C_{i}$

Rearranging adn integrating

$dC = (Q_{i}*C_{i})dt\\\int dC = \int (Q_{i}*C_{i})dt\\C=(Q_{i}*C_{i})*t+constant$

At t=0, C=0,

$C=(Q_{i}*C_{i})*t+constant\\0=(Q_{i}*C_{i})*0+constant\\0=constant\\\\C=(Q_{i}*C_{i})*t$

$C=(15*0.01)*t=0.15*t$

(b) The time at when the concentration reaches 6% is 0.4 hours or 24 minutes.

$C=0.15*t\\0.06=0.15*t\\t=0.06/0.15=0.4$

The smell of dirty gym socks is caused by the compound caproic acid(contains H, C, O). Combustion of 0.844 g of caproic acid pro

adoni [48]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_{32}O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=0.784g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.92g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.784 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.784=0.214g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.92 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.92=0.213g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.844) - (0.214 + 0.213) = 0.417 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.214g}{12g/mole}=0.0134moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.213g}{1g/mole}=0.213moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.417g}{16g/mole}=0.0261moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0134 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0134}{0.0134}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.213}{0.0134}=15.89\approx 16$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0261}{0.0134}=1.95\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 16 : 2

The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_{16}O_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 116.2 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 60 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{116.2g/mol}{60g/mol}=1.94\approx 2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(16\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_{32}O_4$

Hence, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_{32}O_4$

Why is vapor pressure higher in oil than water if water has stronger IMF’s?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A liquid's vapor pressure is directly related to the intermolecular forces present between its molecules. The stronger these forces, the lower the rate of evaporation and the lower the vapor pressure.

By referring to particles, explain why the white ring formed in the glass tube

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Ammonia and Hydrogen Chloride.

Explanation:

Assuming this is what you're referring to, Ammonia (NH3) and Hydrogen Chloride(NCI3). The concentrated ammonia (NH3) is placed on a pad in one end of a tube and hydrochloric acid (NCI3) on a pad at the other. Shortly after the gases will begin diffusing far enough to meet, a ring of solid ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) will be formed.
