anzhelika [568]

Get a magnet in a bag (inside out) and move the magnet all over the sand/iron and you can collect all the iron and turn the bag right side out and zip up the bag. Now you have the sand and iron separated and it will be harder to accidentally mix them later.

How is it possible for helium to have 8 spectral lines when it only has 2 electrons?

neonofarm [45]

It has more lines in it compared to hydrogen emission spectrum. It is mainly because the helium atom has more electrons than a hydrogen atom. Therefore, more electrons get excited when we pass a white light beam through a helium sample, and it causes the emission of more spectral lines

Find the enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH. 137 cm3 of 2.6 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid was neutralized by 137 cm3 of 2.6

liraira [26]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 89.39 KJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

$\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=2.6mole/L\times 0.137L=0.3562mole$

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=2.6mole/L\times 0.137L=0.3562mole$

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.3562 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.3562 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.3562 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = $137ml+137ml=274ml$

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 274ml=274g$

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

$c$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

m = mass of water = 274 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = 325.8 K

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = 298 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=274g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (325.8-298)K$

$q=31839.896J=31.84KJ$

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = -31.84 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of neutralization = ?

q = heat released = -31.84 KJ

n = number of moles used in neutralization = 0.3562 mole

$\Delta H=\frac{-31.84KJ}{0.3562mole}=-89.39KJ/mole$

The negative sign indicate the heat released during the reaction.

Therefore, the enthalpy of neutralization is, 89.39 KJ/mole

A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called

grandymaker [24]

Answer:
A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called cis Isomer.

Explanation:
Geometric isomerism takes place about the double bond in alkenes when the alkyl groups are either situated at the same side (cis) or are situated opposite (trans) to each other.

Example:
cis-2-Butene (highlighted red)

trans-2-Butene (highlighted blue)
