The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.

Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).

Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).

Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

What are the component of black powder and why are they needed to cause an explosion

melisa1 [442]

Hi There!

Black powder is an explosive powder consisting of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, used chiefly in old guns fired for sport, in fireworks, and for spotting charges in practice bombs; black gunpowder.

In addition to being easily ignited by friction and impact, black powder is also extremely sensitive to flame and spark. It ignites violently when unconstrained and explodes when lit in even the slightest amount of confinement.

Thank you,
Eddie

what conclusions can be made about the relationship between metallic character and the atomic radius?

kolezko [41]

We have to get the relationship between metallic character and atomic radius.

Metallic character increases with increase in atomic radius and decrease with decrease of atomic radius.

If electrons from outermost shell of an element can be removed easily, that atom can be considered to have more metallic character.

With increase in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electron decreases which facilitates the release of electron.

With decrease in atomic radius, nuclear force of attraction towards outermost shell electrons increases, so electrons are hold tightly to nucleus. Hence, removal of electron from outermost shell becomes difficult making the atom less metallic in nature.

A compound contains 64.27% carbon, 7.19% hydrogen, and 28.54% oxygen. the molar mass is 168.19 g/mol. what is the molecular form

coldgirl [10]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
calculating for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 64.27 g 7.19 g 28.54 g
number of moles 64.27 g / 12 g/mol 7.19 g/1 g/mol 28.54 g / 16 g/mol
= 5.356 mol = 7.19 mol = 1.784 mol
divide by least number of moles
5.356 / 1.784 7.19 / 1.784 1.784 / 1.784
= 3.002 4.03 = 1.000
rounded off to nearest whole number
C - 3
H - 4
O - 1
empirical formula - C₃H₄O

mass of empirical formula = 12 g/mol x 3 + 1 g/mol x 4 + 16 g/mol x 1 = 56 g
molecular mass = 168.19 g/mol
molecular formula is the actual ratio of elements making up the compound
number of empirical units = molar mass of molecule / empirical mass
empirical units = 168.19 g/mol / 56 g = 3.00
there are 3 empirical units making up the molecular formula
molecular formula = 3 x C₃H₄O

molecular formula = C₉H₁₂O₃

What mass of cu(s)cu(s) is electroplated by running 14. 5 aa of current through a cu2 (aq)cu2 (aq) solution for 4. 00 hh?

galina1969 [7]

The mass of Copper electroplated is 68.76 g

<h3>What is electroplating?</h3>

The process of plating a metal onto another is known as electroplating.

It is often used to prevent corrosion of metal or for the decorative purposes

In this process, electric current is passed through an aqueous solution containing dissolved cations.

The dissolved cations are reduced developing a thin metal coating on the electrode.

At cathode,

$Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$

Current, I = 14.5 A

Time, t = 4 hrs = 4×60×60 = 14400 sec

Charge, q = It = 14.5×14400= 208800 C

Copper metal deposited by 2×96487 C = 63.55 g

Copper metal deposited by 208800 C = $\frac{63.55 \times208800}{2\times96487}$

= 68.76g

Hence, The mass of Copper electroplated is 68.76 g

The weight of 100g H2 and 100 g He is same yet the number of elements is not same.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The mole and atonmicity of both the gases are different, the number of atoms is not same.

Explanation:

The number of atoms in a molecule (compound) depends on mole number and atomicity.

↬ Mole of 100 g H₂ = 100g ÷ 2u = 50 mole

∴Number of atoms in 100 g H₂

= 2 x 50 x 6.022 × 10²³

= 6.022 x 10²⁴ atoms

↬ Mole of 100 g He = 100g ÷ 4u = 25 mole

∴ Number of atoms in 100 g He

= 1 × 25 × 6.022 × 10²³

= 150.55 × 10²³

= 1.5055 x 10²⁵ atoms

Thus, The mole and atonmicity of both the gases are different, the number of atoms is not same.
