1 answer:

7 0

Answer:It has a specific role, as well as a variety of functions for the benefit of our society: creating new knowledge, improving education, and increasing the quality of our lives. Science must respond to societal needs and global challenges.

Explanation:Science is valued by society because the application of scientific knowledge helps to satisfy many basic human needs and improve living standards. Finding a cure for cancer and a clean form of energy are just two topical examples. Education could become the most important application of science in the next decades.

Lithium, is used in dry cells and storage batteries and in high temperature lubricants, it has two naturally occurring isotopes,

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: The average atomic mass of lithium is 6.9241 u.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ ....(1)

For $_3^6\textrm{Li}$ isotope:

Mass of $_3^6\textrm{Li}$ isotope = 6 u

Percentage abundance of $_3^6\textrm{Li}$ isotope = 7.59 %

Fractional abundance of $_3^6\textrm{Li}$ isotope = 0.0759

For $_3^7\textrm{Li}$ isotope:

Mass of $_3^7\textrm{Li}$ isotope = 7 u

Percentage abundance of $_3^7\textrm{Li}$ isotope = 92.41%

Fractional abundance of $_3^7\textrm{Li}$ isotope = 0.9241

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of Lithium}=[(6\times 0.0759)+(7\times 0.9241)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of Lithium}=6.9241u$

Hence, the average atomic mass of lithium is 6.9241 u.

calculate the enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of liquid water at 100 C to water vapor at 145 degree celsius for water Δ

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

q1 = mCpΔT

= 18.016g × 1.84J/g.K × (418.15-373.15)

= 1491.72 J

q2 = n×ΔH vap

= 1mol ×44.0kJ/mol

= 44KJ

∴ qtotal = q1+ q2

= 1.498kJ + 44.0kJ

= 45.498KJ

Explanation: The heat flow can be separated into steps.all that is being observed at a constant pressure,the heat flow is equal to the enthalpy.

Rank the following in terms of decreasing miscibility in C₈H₁₈ (octane), a major component of gasoline:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

In order of decreasing miscibility

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

Explanation:

The solubility of a solid is a measure of its ability to dissolve in a liquid while for liquids, the miscibility is a measure of thhe liquid to mix with anoyjer liquid resulting in a soltion which can hold any amount of either liquids. Immiscible liquids are those that are not soluble or have very limited solibility with each other.

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

In the order of decreasing miscibility as like dissolve like, ability to dissociate and polar and organic characteristics are considered

A volume of 125 mL of H2O is initially at room temperature (22.00 ∘C). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 ∘C is placed in the water. If

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

41.9 g

Explanation:

We can calculate the heat released by the water and the heat absorbed by the steel rod using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c: specific heat capacity

m: mass

ΔT: change in temperature

If we consider the density of water is 1.00 g/mol, the mass of water is 125 g.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the water (Qw) and the heat absorbed by the steel (Qs) is zero.

Qw + Qs = 0

Qw = -Qs

cw × mw × ΔTw = -cs × ms × ΔTs

(4.18 J/g.°C) × 125 g × (21.30°C-22.00°C) = -(0.452J/g.°C) × ms × (21.30°C-2.00°C)

ms = 41.9 g
