<h3>Answer:</h3>

4551.37 Pascals

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The pressure refers to the force exerted by a substance per unit area.

The pressure is liquid is calculated by;

P = height × density × gravitational acceleration

In this case;

Height = 636.2 mm

Density = 0.7300 g/cm³

g = 9.8 N/kg

We need to convert mm to m and g/cm³ to kg/m³

Therefore;

Height = 636.2 mm ÷1000

= 0.6362 m

Density = 0.73 g/cm³ × 1000 kg/m³

= 730 kg/m³

Then, we can calculate the pressure;

Pressure = 0.6362 m × 730 kg/m³ × 9.8 N/kg

= 4551.3748 pascals

= 4551.37 Pascals

Therefore, the pressure of the column of decane is 4551.37 Pascals

Which situation would cause the following equilibrium reaction to decrease the formation of the products? 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) Two

vovangra [49]

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$2 SO_{2} (g) + O_{2}(g) 2 SO_{3} (g) + Energy$

The given reaction is exothermic. So, heat energy will be a product. Therefore, decreasing the temperature (heat energy) would lead to the formation of more products as when the amount of energy which is a product is reduced, there is more room for the products to form.

Increasing the pressure would shift the equilibrium towards that side which has least number of moles of the gaseous substance. Hence, here increasing the pressure would lead to the formation of more products by shifting the equilibrium towards the right side.

Decreasing the volume would make the equilibrium shift towards the least number of moles of the gaseous substance. So, here in this equilibrium decreasing the volume would lead to the formation of more products.

1. To form a solution, ________.

adoni [48]

1.one substance must dissolve another : the solvent breaks the the solute causing it to dissociate into the solvent it can be both solids or gases that dissolve in the solute

2.the melting point will be higher than 100 degrees as the salt causes the solution to gain a higher melting point

3.either released or absorbed : energy is required to dissolve the solute but the solute may also release energy

4.the salt dissolved most quickly in the warm water : as there is more energy for the solute to dissolve

hope that helps

What is the final, balanced equation that is formed by combining these two half reactions?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: Balanced equation that is formed by combining these two half reactions is $Cu + NO^{-}_{3} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$ .

Explanation:

A chemical equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side is called a balanced chemical equation.

For example, $Cu \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + 2e^{-}$

$NO^{-}_{3} + 2e^{-} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$

On cancelling the common species from both these half-reactions, the complete balanced equation will be as follows.

$Cu + NO^{-}_{3} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$

Thus, we can conclude that balanced equation that is formed by combining these two half reactions is $Cu + NO^{-}_{3} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$ .

What is one source of CO?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Carbon monoxide (CO)—a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and toxic air pollutant—is produced in the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, coal, and wood. The largest anthropogenic source of CO in the United States is vehicle emissions.
