Chemistry

Millikan discovered the charge of an electron for which he received the Noble Prize. He designed the Oil Drop experiment. He found that charge is quantized.

Millikan repeated the experiment with varying strength of xrays and found the charge on the oil drop to be a multiple of -1.6 x 10-19 C. He concluded that the smallest unit of charge is -1.6 x 10-19 C , which is the charge of one electron.

Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. J. J. Thomson had already discovered the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron.

The solubility of calcium oxalate, CaC2O4, in pure water is 4.8 × 10‑5 moles per liter. Cal­culate the value of Ksp for silver c
inn [45]

Answer:

2.3 × 10⁻⁹

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of calcium oxalate

CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product constant (Ksp) through an ICE chart.

        CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

I                                0                 0

C                              +S               +S

E                                S                 S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] × [C₂O₄²⁻] = S² = (4.8 × 10⁻⁵)² = 2.3 × 10⁻⁹

Sports trainers treat sprains and soreness with ethyl bromide. it is manufactured by reacting ethylene with hydrogen bromide:
OverLord2011 [107]
Trainers use this substance because the reaction of the product on the skin is an exothermic one. This produces a feeling of warmth and heat. Heating an injury like a sprain with warmth or heat increases blood flow to the area and promotes healing as the flow of blood carries the necessary substances for healing.

When using 100ml or 50ml graduated cylinder to what decimal place can your volume be estimated?<br>​
Olegator [25]

Answer:

I know that the 100-mL graduated cylinders are always read to 1 decimal place.

I think for 50 mL graduated cylinders, it lets you measure volumes up to 50.0 mL to the nearest 0.1 or 0.2 mL, depending on your exact cylinder.
