Catenation is the property by which it can make bonds with other carbon atoms to form long chains. Hence, carbon, with the least diffuse valence shell p orbital is capable of forming longer p-p sigma bonded chains of atoms than heavier elements which bond via higher valence shell orbitals.

4. DBearded waste of Co-60 must be stored until it is no longer radioactive. Cobalt-60

Bingel [31]

464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g

26.5 years in storage

Required

Initial sample

Solution

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

t = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years

Input the value :

$\tt 14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^{26.5/5.3}\\\\14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^5\\\\No=\boxed{\bold{464~g}}$

Which equation represents a double replacement reaction?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

C) LiOH + HCl → LiCl + H₂O

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Reactions

Synthesis Reactions: A + B → AB
Decomposition Reactions: AB → A + B
Single-Replacement Reactions: A + BC → AB + C
Double-Replacement Reactions: AB + CD → AD + BC

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

RxN A: 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂

RxN B: CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

RxN C: LiOH + HCl → LiCl + H₂O

RxN D: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Step 2: Identify

RxN A: Single Replacement Reaction

RxN B: Decomposition Reaction

RxN C: Double Replacement Reaction

RxN D: Combustion Reaction

For each reaction, find the value of ΔSo. Report the value with the appropriate sign. (a) 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2 HNO3(l) + NO(g)

aev [14]

Answer:

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

3 NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2 HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

We can calculate the standard entropy change of a reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression:

ΔS° = ∑np.Sp° - ∑nr.Sr°

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

Si are the standard molar entropies of reactants and products

ΔS° = [2 mol × S°(HNO₃(l)) + 1 mol × S°(NO(g))] - [3 mol × S°(NO₂(g)) + 1 mol × S°(H₂O(l))]

ΔS° = [2 mol × 155.6 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 210.76 J/K.mol] - [3 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 69.91 J/k.mol]

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

A gas tank contains 3 gases (N2, O2, and CO2). The total pressure of the gases is 825mmHg. If Pco2 = 125mmHg and Po2= 350mmHg, w

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

350mmHg

Explanation:

Use Dalton law

Total=P gas 1+p gas 2+ P gas 3

825=P1+350+125

825=P1+475

825-475= P1

P1= 350 mm Hg
