valkas [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The smaller a particles the higher the surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

In a grain silo, there are lots of minute dust grain particles and chaff floating in the air. The silo is important in keeping the grains dry hence there is little moisture. These particles, when concentrated, are therefore highly combustible and the slightest spartk can cause a spectacular explosion.

Determine whether the following reaction is a Lewis acid/base reaction and if so, what is the Lewis acid: Fe3+(aq) + 6 CN−(aq) →
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: It is a Lewis acid/base reaction, and Fe^{3+} is the Lewis acid.

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Fe^{3+} can readily accept electrons and thus act as a lewis acid which is short of electrons.

CN^- can readily lose electrons and thus act as a lewis base which has excess of electrons.

It is a Lewis acid/base reaction, and Fe^{3+} is the Lewis acid.

At 517 mm Hg and 24 °C, a sample of gas occuples a volume of 95 ml. The gas is transferred to a 225-ml flask and the temperature
vodomira [7]

Answer:

P_2=194.78mmHg

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we employ the combined ideal gas law in order to understand the volume-gas-pressure behavior as shown below:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}= \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Hence, solving for the final pressure P2, we obtain (do not forget temperature must be absolute):

P_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}=\frac{517mmHg*95mL*(-8.0+273.15)K}{(24+273.15)K*225mL}\\ \\P_2=194.78mmHg

Best regards.

What is the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of 3.75×10^-7​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Frequency = 0.8×10¹⁵ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of photon = ?

Wavelength of photon = 3.75 ×10⁻⁷ m

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of photon = wavelength × frequency

Frequency = speed of photon / wavelength

Now we will put the values in formula.

Frequency = 3 ×10⁸ m/s / 3.75 ×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 0.8×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 0.8×10¹⁵ Hz

Atoms that are sp^2 hybridized can form pi bond(s). b. 2
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pi bonds are formed using p orbitals. Atoms that have p orbitals have 3 of them. In an sp² hybridized atom, only 2 of the 3 p orbitals are being used in the sp² orbitals, leaving one p orbital free for pi bonding. Therefore, only one pi bond can be formed to an sp² hybridized atom.
