Answer: C

Explanation:

Some poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are not carcinogenic in themselves. However, when these are made to interact with living cells, enzymes in the cells could convert the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon into a carcinogenic material such as benzo-[a]-pyrene. This can now interact adversely with the deoxyribonucleic acid of living cells leading to genetic mutation, that is, irreversible changes in the genes of organisms.

Sodium acetate spontaneously crystallizes out of a supersaturated solution upon standing or upon the addition of a seed crystal.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

According to 2nd law of thermodynamics, every spontaneous process is associated with increase in entropy (\Delta S>0).

As sodium acetate crystallizes out spontaneously therefore it is associated with \Delta S>0.

During crystallization, bond formation takes place which results evolution of heat. In other words, crystallization phenomenon is exothermic (\Delta H).

So, the given crystallization process renders the following thermodynamic quantities- \Delta S>0 J/K and \Delta H J

Option (c) is correct.

How many mL of 2.5 M K2SO4 are required to obtain 1.25 grams of the compound?
saul85 [17]

2.87mL of 2.5 M K2SO4 are required to obtain 1.25 grams of the compound.

<h3>HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUME?</h3>

The volume of a substance can be calculated by dividing the number of moles of the substance by its molarity. That is;

volume = no. of moles ÷ molarity

According to this question, 2.5M K2SO4 are required to obtain 1.25 grams of the compound. The volume can be calculated as follows:

Molar mass of K2SO4 = 174.26 g/mol

moles of K2SO4 = 1.25g ÷ 174.26g/mol

moles of K2SO4 = 0.00717moles

Volume = 0.00717moles ÷ 2.5

Volume = 0.00287 L = 2.87mL.

Therefore, 2.87mL of 2.5 M K2SO4 are required to obtain 1.25 grams of the compound.

How does particles of substance behave at its melting point?
ivolga24 [154]

<span>When a substance is heated, its atoms gain energy and begin to vibrate rapidly within the lattice of the substance (the substance expands). As more heating continues, the atoms gain even more energy and move more rapidly until they are able to overcome the force of the bonds, that hold the atoms together in the lattice, until the structure is disrupted.  </span>

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS.Thank you so much!

Answer: The coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+} + Cl_{2}

Now, the two half-reactions can be written as follows.

Reduction half-reaction: Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

This will be balanced as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_{2}O ... (1)

Oxidation half-reaction: Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cl_{2} + 1e^{-}

This will be balanced as follows.

6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 3Cl_{2} + 6e^{-} ... (2)

Adding both equation (1) and (2) we will get the resulting equation as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3Cl_{2} + 7H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.
