A flask containing helium gas is connected to an open-ended mercury manometer. The open end is exposed to the atmosphere, where

the prevailing pressure is 752 torr. The mercury level in the open arm is 26 mm above that in the arm connected to the flask of helium.What is the helium pressure, in torr?

Answer:

726 torr

Explanation:

Generally, atmospheric pressure can be measured using a manometer which is in form of a U-shaped tube. In addition, 1 mm Hg is equivalent to 1 torr. Therefore, 752 torr is equivalent to 752 mm Hg. Therefore, the total pressure will be equivalent to the atmospheric pressure (mm Hg) + the mercury height.

In this case, the mercury height = -26 mm

Thus:

The helium pressure = 752 - 26 = 726 mm Hg

This is also equivalent to 726 torr

Two individual atoms of the same element are slightly different. One has one more proton than it has electrons. The other has on
Talja [164]

Answer:

ions

Explanation:

Individual atoms of the same element but having slightly different number of protons and electrons are called ions.

Ion is a charged particle.

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental subatomic particles.
  • Protons are the positively charged particles
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

When the number of protons > electrons the body is positively charged.

When the number of electrons > protons the body is negatively charged.

Charged particles are called ions.

C12H22O11 + 12O2 ---&gt; 12CO2 + 11H2O
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Oxygen is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

<em>1 mole of sucrose reacts with 12 moles of oxygen to produce 12 moles of CO₂ and 11 moles of H₂O.</em>

<em />

10.0g of sucrose (Molar mass: 342.3g /mol) are:

10.0g C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ × (1mole / 342.3g) = 0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

And moles of 10.0g of oxygen (Molar mass: 32g/mol) are:

10.0g O₂ × (1mole / 32g) = 0.3125 moles of O₂

For a complete reaction of 0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ you need (knowing 12 moles of oxygen react per mole of sucrose):

0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ × (12 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = <em>0.3504 moles of O₂</em>

As you have just 0.3125 moles of O₂, <em>oxygen is the limiting reactant.</em>

An atom of which of these elements most likely forms an anion? A. AI B. Br C. Ca D. Mg
Papessa [141]
The answer is B. A good way determine this is how far right the element is on the periodic table. The further right the element is, the more electronegative it is meaning it is more willing to accept an electron. This can be explained using the valence electrons and how many need to be added or removed to complete the octet. The further right you are, the easier it is for the element to just gain a few electrons instead of loose a bunch. Noble gases are the exception to this since they don't normally react though.
