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.

What is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid and has a density of 1.024 g/ml
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

0.6257 M is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid.

Explanation:

Mass percentage of oxalic acid = 5.50%

This means that in 100 grams of solution there are 5.50 grams of oxalic acid.

Mass of solution , m = 100

Volume of the solution = V

Density of the solution = d = 1.024 g/mL

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{100 g}{1.024 g/mL}=97.66mL

V = 97.66 mL = 0.09766 L

(1 mL = 0.001 L)

Moles of oxalic acid = \frac{5.50 g}{90 g/mol}=0.06111 mol

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}

The molarity of the solution :

=\frac{0.06111 mol}{0.09766  L}=0.6257M

0.6257 M is the molarity of solution that is 5.50 percentage by mass oxalic acid.

HELP PLEASE! <br> Picture for question provided
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first one is CrO.  The Chromium has the same charge as the oxygen so mol numbers are dropped.

The Second one is CrO2 The two oxygens have a charge of 2(-2) = -4. To balance this, the Chromium must have a charge of +4 Cr(Iv)O2

The third one is can be set up like this

Cr + 3(-2) = 0

Cr - 6 = 0

Cr = 6

Therefore the formula is Cr(vi)O3

The last one is a bit tricky. Follow this carefully. There are 2 Crs and 3Os.

The formula looks like this

2Cr + 3(-2) = 0

2Cr - 6 = 0

2Cr = 6

Cr = 3

The formula is Cr(iii)2 O3

Why do you think the different heating process result in different softness or hardness of the steel? Think about what steel is
ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

Different heating process affect the microstructure of the steel in different ways. Thus, imparting different properties to the steel. For example, annealing is done is done to impart softness to steel, hardening is done to hardened the steel( eg: carburizing, nitriding, cyaniding) whereas tempering is done to improve the ductility of the steel.

Steel mainly contains iron and carbon. This percentage of carbon and iron decides the property of the steel. It is the % of carbon which is altered in different heating process that to obtained the desire microstructure in steel.
