Answer:

Hazards Identification

Explanation:

A safety data sheet, SDS, is an informational document provided by the manufacturer or importer of a hazardous chemical detailing the chemical, physical, health, and environmental health hazards associated with the chemical as well as safety precautions in handling the chemical.

Some of the sections in the SDS include:

Product Information: It identifies the chemical as well as its recommended uses. The contact information of the manufacturer is also provided.

Fire fighting methods: It gives measures and guidelines necessary for fighting a fire caused by the chemical.

Physical and chemical properties: states the physical and chemical properties of the chemical substance such as: appearance, odor, pH, melting/freezing point, boiling point and boiling range, flammability, etc.

Hazards identification: states the hazards of the chemical and the necessary warnings regarding the hazards. Some of the information provided include: hazard classification of the chemical (for example flammable liquid, oxidizing gases,explosives, etc), signal word, hazard statement (for example radioactive), pictograms, precautionary statements, etc.

<em>From the above information provided, the student should refer to the hazards identification section.</em>

Rank the following in terms of decreasing miscibility in C₈H₁₈ (octane), a major component of gasoline:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

In order of decreasing miscibility

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

Explanation:

The solubility of a solid is a measure of its ability to dissolve in a liquid while for liquids, the miscibility is a measure of thhe liquid to mix with anoyjer liquid resulting in a soltion which can hold any amount of either liquids. Immiscible liquids are those that are not soluble or have very limited solibility with each other.

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

In the order of decreasing miscibility as like dissolve like, ability to dissociate and polar and organic characteristics are considered

By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

Explanation:

A baseball weighs 5.13 oz.

a)What is the kinetic energy, in joules, of this baseball when it is thrown by a major league pitcher at 95.o mi/h?

b) By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an integer.

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass×velocity ^ 2

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass × velocity ^ 2

Joules = kg×m^2/s^2

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

1 hour = 3600 sec

1 Oz = 28.34952 g = 0.02834952 kg

a) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(95 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=130.761 kg×m^2/s^2 = 130.761 Joules

b) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(54.8 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=43.51028 kg×m^2/s^2 = 43.51028 Joules

= 130.761 / 43.51028 = 3.00528,

As such the Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

list 10 chemical reactions that have benefited your life today. Include the reasons you think each was indeed a chemical reactio

Dennis_Churaev [7]

1) The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars (food).

2) Chemical reaction of cellular respiration:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.

Organic carbon (glucose) is transformed into inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) that goes into atmosphere.

3) Gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Gasoline is being burn.

4) Balanced chemical reaction of forming rust: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Forming rust usually last for few months and iron changing in another substance with different properties.

5) An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

Copper is forming from the solution, that is chemical change.

6) Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.

Making limewater (diluted solution of calcium hydroxide).

7) Neutralization is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Precipation is formed.

8) Balanced chemical reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid:

MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O(g).

Acid dissolves metal oxides.

9) Chemical reaction of silver in air:

4Ag + 2H₂S + O₂ → 2Ag₂S (tarnish) + 2H₂O.

Silver change color in the air.

10) Forming of patina: 2CuO + CO₂ + H₂O → Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.

Brass (copper) change color to green.

The majority of the elements essential to life are found in what part of the periodic table?

IRINA_888 [86]

The rows in the top third - This group consists of elements like Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium on the right and Chlorine, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen on the left.
Sodium and Chlorine are components of salt, a very important compound of our blood, essential for transferring electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Calcium is the building block of our bones, while Magnesium and potassium ensure proper functioning of our organs.
