Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su

bstance X?
All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

Each particle carries a charge that is slightly different from the other particles.

Half of the particles carry a positive charge; the other half carry a negative charge.

All the particles are uncharged, or electrically neutral.

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

What volume of chlorine gas (Cl2), measured at STP, can be produced by the decomposition of 73.0g of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl)
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Explanation:

2HCl    =   H₂   +   Cl₂

2 mole     1 mole      1 mole

73 gram HCl = 73 / 36.5 = 2 mole of HCl

2 moles of HCl will produce 1 mole of chlorine gas .

At STP , one mole of chlorine gas has volume equal to 22.4 litre .

A battery produces ____current, which is current that flows in only one direction.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with direct.

Explanation:

A battery refers to a chemical apparatus that is used to store electrical energy. A battery generates a direct current that is a current, which flows in only one direction. DC means direct current and it should exhibit fixed terminals, that is, negative and positive terminals, which cannot be altered.  

As the batteries have fixed content, they possess fixed terminals, thus, they can store only direct current. Thus, the batteries produce direct current and produce a voltage in only one direction, and they exhibit a polarity of negative and positive.

One isotope of Br has a half-life of 16.5 hours. How much of a 2.00 gram sample remains at the end of 1.00 day?
valina [46]

Answer:

half life=16.5hrs

sample=2g

total time=1day=24hrs

no. of half lives=total time/half life

no. of half lives=24hrs/16.5hrs=1.45approx1.5

sample left=1/2n=1/2[1.5]=0.707gapprox
