Parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction, sometimes, a compound may be composed of group of polyatomic ions with other ions. Some of the polyatomic ions are sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, ammonia etc.

So these polyatomic ions are formed by combining two or more elements. Thus, if the number of polyatomic ions in a compound is more than one, then we use parathesis and write those polyatomic ions in it and write the number of polyatomic ions present in the compound as subscript of the parathesis.

For example, Fe₂(SO₄)₃

So here SO₄ is a polyatomic ion and in the compound 3 atoms of SO₄ is required to neutralize the compound and thus paranthesis is used. Thus, parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

An ionization suppressor is an alkali metal capable of preventing ionization, which can be used in atomic spectroscopy to determine matter composition.

<h3>What is ionization?</h3>

Ionization refers to the phenomena capable of converting neutral atoms/molecules to electrically charged atoms/ions.

Ionization is a process by which radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma rays) can pass energy to inert matter.

Some examples of ionization suppressors include salts of alkali metals (for example, potassium), which can be used in atomic spectroscopy to determine matter composition.

A bottle of the antiseptic hydrogen peroxide is labeled 3.0% (v/v). How many mL of hydrogen peroxide are in a 400 mL bottle of t
zepelin [54]
There are several ways of expressing concentration of solution. Few of them are listed below
1) mass percentage
2) volume percentage
3) Molarity
4) Normality
5) Molality

In most of the drugs, concentration is expressed either in terms of mass percentage or volume percentage. For, solid in liquid type systems, mass percentage is convenient way of expressing concentration, while for liquid in liquid type solutions, expressing concentration in terms of volume percentage is preferred. Present system is an example of liquid in liquid type solution 


Here, concentration of H2O2 is given antiseptic = 3.0 % v/v

It implies that, 3ml  H2O2 is present in 100 ml of solution

Thus, 400 ml of solution would contain 4 X 3 = 12 ml H2O2

timama [110]

Answer:

1. It depends what type of method you are using. if it is Height x Width x Length then it will not work for an irregular shape because it has extra pieces that would not be included.

2. The second method would work for both regular and irregular shapes because you would have to know or find out the volume of the regular shape to get the volume for the irregular shape.

3. It also depends on what you are doing, if you are doing a regular shape then use the first method, if it's an irregular shape then use the second method, if you do the maths correctly both should give you an accurate answer for what you want to achieve.

4. No, because the sugar would dissolve.

5. No, on this case the displacement method would not work because of the weight difference

The solubility of calcium sulfate at 30°c is 0.209 g/100 ml solution. calculate its ksp.
inessss [21]
Answer is: Ksp for calcium sulfate is 2.36·10⁻⁴.
Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation):
CaSO₄(s) → Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).
m(CaSO₄) = 0.209 g.
n(CaSO₄) = m(CaSO₄) ÷ M(CaSO₄).
n(CaSO₄) = 0.209 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol.
n(CaSO₄) = 0.00153 mol.
s(CaSO₄) = n(CaSO₄) ÷ V(CaSO₄).
s(CaSO₄) = 0.00153 mol ÷ 0.1 L = 0.0153 M.
Ksp = [Ca²⁺] · [SO₄²⁻].
[Ca²⁺] = [SO₄²⁻] = s(CaSO₄).
Ksp = (0.0153 M)² = 2.36·10⁻⁴.
