1 answer:

6 0

Because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The concentrations of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium is 0.023 M

Explanation:

Moles of $Cl_2$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{10g}{71g/mol}=0.14mol$

Volume of solution = 1 L

Initial concentration of $Cl_2$ = $\frac{0.14mol}{1L}=0.14M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$COCl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Cl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.14 M 0 M 0M

At eqm. conc. (0.14-x) M (x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[CO]\times [Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$4.63\times 10^{-3}=\frac{x)^2}{(0.14-x)}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.023 M

Thus, the concentrations of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium is 0.023 M

Estradiol is a female sexual hormone that causes maturation and maintenance of the female reproductive system. Elemental analysi

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_{18}H_{24}O_2$ .

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be $C_xH_yO_z$

Percentage of an element in a compound:

$\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon in estradiol :

$\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%$

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol :

$\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%$

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol :

$\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%$

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2$

The half-life for the radioactive decay of ce−141 is 32.5 days. if a sample has an activity of 3.8 μci after 162.5 d have elapse

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer : 121.5 μCi

Explanation : We have Ce-141 half life given as 32.5 days so if the activity is 3.8 μci after 162.5 days of time elapsed we have to find the initial activity.

We can use this formula;

 $\frac{N}{ N_{0} } = e^{-( \frac{0.693 X T_{2} }{T_{1}})$

3.8 / $N_{0}$ = $e^$ ((0.693 X 162.5 ) / 32.5) = 121.5

On solving we get, The initial activity as 121.5 μci
