Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is b. Radon. Oxygen, Hyrdrogen, and Boron, are not radioactivel ike Radon and it regenerates quickly meaning that even though it has a short half-life period, it stays for a long time once released. It also has no taste so it's difficult to notice without proper gear because you can't feel it.

When lithium nitride, Li 3 N ( s ) , is treated with water, H 2 O ( l ) , ammonia, NH 3 ( g ) , is produced. Predict the formula

allochka39001 [22]

Answer : The formula of the gas produced is, $PH_3$ (phosphine gas)

Explanation :

According to the question, when sodium phosphide is treated with water then it react to give phosphine gas and sodium hydroxide.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$Na_3P(aq)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow PH_3(g)+3NaOH(aq)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that:

1 mole of sodium phosphide reacts with 3 moles of water to give 1 mole of phosphine gas and 3 moles of sodium hydroxide.

Thus, the formula of the gas produced is, $PH_3$ (phosphine gas)

What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?

3241004551 [841]

Answer: " 13.5 g Al " ;

→ that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

Explanation:

____________________________

Note: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

The reactants: "aluminum (Al) " ; and "chlorine (Cl) " ; and:

The product: "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

2 Al + 3 Cl₂ → 2 AlCl₃ ;

_____________________________

Note: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is: " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So: We call solve using a technique known as: "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

0.500 mol AlCl₃ * $(\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?$

____________________________

Note: The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

The units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

" $\frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}$ g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

Note: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

→ (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

= 13.49 g Al ;

→ Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

→ Since: "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

= 13.5 g Al ; that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

Hope this is helpful!

What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl

fenix001 [56]

M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula
