When ammonium carbonate decomposes what gas is produced and will a glowing splint burn brighter in the presence?

1 answer:

7 0

When ammonium carbonate is heated it decomposes to give ammonia gas, carbon dioxide gas and water. The equation for the decomposition is;
(NH4)2CO3(s) = 2 NH3 (g) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
A glowing splint would extinguish almost immediately because of the presence of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide does not support burning which is the property that makes it used a s a fighter extinguisher.

The absorbance of an equilibrium mixture containing FeSCN2 was measured at 447 nm and found to be 0.347. What is the equilibrium

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The concentration is $C = 1.11 mol/L$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The absorbance is $A = 0.347$

The length is $l = 447 nm = 447 *10^{-7} \ cm$

Generally absorbance is mathematically represented as

$A = \epsilon* C * l$

where $\epsilon$ is the molar absorptivity of FeSCN2 with a value $\epsilon = 7.0*10^3 L/cm/mol$

and $C$ is the equilibrium concentration of FeSCN2

$C = \frac{A}{\epsilon * l }$

substituting values

$C = \frac{0.347}{7.0*10^{3} * 447 *10^{-7} }$

$C = 1.11 mol/L$

You are given a cube of lead that is 1.000 cm on each side. The density of lead is 11.35. How many atoms of lead are in the samp

aliya0001 [1]

11.35 g atoms of lead are in the sample.

What does density mean?

The density of an area refers to the quantity of things—which may include people, animals, plants, or objects—there are in it.
Divide the number of objects by the area's measurement to determine density.
A country's population density is calculated by dividing its total population by its area, expressed in square kilometers or miles.

We can calculate the volume of the cube by cubing the side of the cube.

Volume of cube = ( 1.000 cm)³

= 1.000 cm³

We can now determine the amount of lead in the cube by multiplying by the density. Because we know we have a 1.000 cubic centimeter and that lead has a density of 11.35 grams per cubic centimeter, we have 11.35 grams of lead.

= ( 1.000 cm³) ( 11.35 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ )
