A base in water will form hydroxide ions. This is because bases are AOH while acids are AH+. I hope this helps!

How many carbon atoms are there in a 1.5-carat diamond? diamonds are a form of pure carbon. ( 1 carat=0.20 grams)?

11111nata11111 [884]

1 carot = 0.2 grams
1.5 carot = 0.3 grams.

1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams
x mol = 0.3 grams

0.3 * 1 = 12 x
x = 0.3/12
x = 0.025 mol

1 mol of Carbon is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
0.025 mol of carbon is x

1/0.025 = 6.02*10^23 * /x
x = 0.025 * 6.02 * 10^23
x = 1.5 * 10^22 atoms of carbon.

Toluene, c6h5ch3, is a liquid compound similar to benzene, c6h6. it is the starting material for other substances, including tri

babymother [125]

Toulene = 35.6 g
Benzene = 125 g = 0.125 kg
Molecular weight of Toluene C6H5CH3 = 92.1g/mol
Moles of toulene = 35.6 g / 92.1 g/mol = 0.3865 mol

Now the molarity of the toulene in the given solution = 0.3865 / 0.125 = 3.092 m
Molarity of C6H5CH3 = 3.092 m

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound

Softa [21]

Answer: Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation:

We assume that the sample is 100.0 g.

The sample contains 38.7 g of Ca, 19.9 g of P, and 41.2 g of O as the proportions show.

Then we can calculate the number of moles of each component (n = m/atomic mass).

The number of moles of Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96 mol.

The number of moles of P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64 mol.

The number of moles of O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.75 mol.

Now, we can get the molar ratios of different components (Ca, P, and O) in the sample by dividing the number of moles of each component by the lower number of moles, that we should divide the number of moles by (0.64).

Ca: P: O = (0.96/0.64) : (0.64/0.64) : (2.75/0.64) = 1.5 : 1 : 4.

To avoid the fraction of the ratios, we can multiply all ratios by 2.0.

Now, the ratio of Ca : P : O will be 3 : 2 : 8.

That main the empirical formula of the compound is Ca3P2O8 which can be expressed as calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2).

A worker is exposed to the following airborne concentrations of ethylbenzene: 8:00 – 10:00 125 ppm 10:15 – 12:15 88 ppm 12:45 –

postnew [5]

Answer:

The 8-hour TWA exposure for the employee is 101 ppm and it exceeds the OSHA PEL of 100 ppm for ethylbenzene.

Explanation:

The TWA for 8 hours is calculated by the sum of airbone concentrations multiplied by the time it has been exposed to that period. The total is divided by 8 which refers to the 8 hours total the employee has been exposed.

TWA = (125x2+88x2+112x2.5+70x1.5)/8.

The OSHA PEL is a known number for every compound and it can be find in PEL tables. In the case of ethylbenezene, it is 100 ppm.
