Answer:

Characteristics: Oxygen in its common form (O2) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless diatomic gas. Oxygen is extremely reactive and forms oxides with nearly all other elements except noble gases. Oxygen dissolves more readily in cold water than warm water.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 89.5 g of C6H6 ? Answer in units of atoms.

Elodia [21]

Solution :

Molar mass of $C_6H_6$ is :

M = 6×12 + 6×1 g

M = 78 g

78 gram of $C_6H_6$ contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules.

So, 89.5 gram of $C_6H_6$ contains :

$n = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times \dfrac{89.5}{78}\\\\n = 6.91 \times 10^{23}$

Now, from the formula we can see that one molecule of $C_6H_6$ contains 2 hydrogen atom . So, number of hydrogen atom are :

$h = 2\times 6.91 \times 10^{23}\\\\h = 1.38 \times 10^{22}\ atoms$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s

bazaltina [42]

Answer: The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$ ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant = $0.077s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

$[A]=0.0055M$

$k=0.077s^{-1}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s$

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

In the following reaction, what element is gaining mass?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).

Of the elements calcium, Ca, beryllium, Be, barium, Ba, and strontium, Sr, which has the largest atomic radius? Explain your ans

Nezavi [6.7K]

The largest atomic radius has Ba,because they are all metals of 2nd group,but as you know when you go down upright in the periodic table the metallic features getting stronger but also orbital layers increasing,and you can say more layers larger atomic radius.Hope I helped,sorry for English
