Answer:

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge it appears to have when you count the electrons according to some arbitrary rules. The oxidation number of an atom depends on the other atoms in the substance.

Explanation:

For example, In KCl, the oxidation number of Cl is 0.

What is the wavelength of a 3 x 1012 Hz infrared wave?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength = speed of light/ frequency

= (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (3 x 10^12 Hz)

= 1 x 10^-4 m

Which radioactive emission has the smallest (least) mass? Question options:

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The answer is D. gamma rays

Explanation:

A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:

alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.

Beta particles (β) = they have 5x $10^{-4}$ amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power

Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher

For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.

Assume that your electrical power company gets its energy from a hydroelectric dam. Outline all of the energy changes that occur

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

This isn't chemistry. Its physics. Kinetic energy (water) to electric energy (dam) as the hydroelectric dam works. Then, as the current travels from the plant to your crib, electric energy to heat energy (wire resistance). Then when you are using the dryer electric energy to heat energy (hot air) and sound energy (air particles vibrate due to the heat energy).

A sample of gas is held at 1000C at a volume of 20 L. If the volume is increased to 40 L, what is the new temperature of the gas

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The new temperature will be 2546 K or 2273 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The initial temperature = 1000 °C =1273 K

The volume = 20L

The volume increases to 40 L

Step 2: Calculate the new temperature

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 20L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 1273 K

⇒with V2 = the increased volume = 40L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

20L/ 1273 K = 40L / T2

T2 = 40L / (20L/1273K)

T2 = 2546 K

The new temperature will be 2546 K

This is 2546-273 = 2273 °C

Since the volume is doubled, the temperature is doubled as well

If a lab requires each lab group to have 25ml of a solution and it takes 15 grams of CuNO3 to make 1 liter of solution how many

tino4ka555 [31]

We need to do some general algebra here.

We will find that you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.

Each lab group needs 25 ml of solution.
it takes 15 g of CuNO₃ to make one L of that solution.
There are 22 labs.

Because each lab needs 25 ml of solution, 22 labs will need that amount 22 times, so the <u>total amount of solution needed</u> is:

22*25ml = 550 ml

Now we know that we need 15 grams to make one liter of solution, and:

1 L = 1000ml

Then you need 15g to make 1000ml

and x (we want to find this amount) to make 550ml

Then we can write two equations (not actual equations, as these are different units) like:

x = 550ml

15g = 1000ml

Now we can take the quotient between these two equations:

x/15 g = (550ml/1000ml)

And now we can solve this for x:

x = (550ml/1000ml)*15g = 8.25g

So you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.
