Answer:

zirconium

Explanation:

Given, Mass of AgBr(s) = 23.0052 g

Molar mass of AgBr(s) = 187.77 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles\ of\ AgBr= \frac{23.0052\ g}{187.77\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ AgBr= 0.1225\ mol

The reaction taking place is:

MBr_4+4AgNO_3\rightarrow 4AgBr+M(NO_3)__4

From the reaction,

4 moles of AgBr is produced when 1 mole of MBr_4 undergoes reaction

1 mole of AgBr is produced when 1 / 4 mole of MBr_4 undergoes reaction

0.1225 mole of AgBr is produced when \frac {1}{4}\times 0.1225 mole of MBr_4 undergoes reaction

Moles of MBr_4 got reacted = 0.030625 moles

Mass of the sample taken = 12.5843 g

Let the molar mass of the metal = x g/mol

So, Molar mass of MBr_4 = x + 4 × 79.904 g/mol = 319.616 + x g/mol

Thus,

0.030625 = \frac{12.5843}{319.616 + x}

Solve for x,

we get, x = 91.2999 g/mol

<u>The metal shows +4 oxidation state and has mass of 91.2999 g/mol . The metals is zirconium.</u>

An apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of water in a container. The apple is then moved to a deeper point
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the apple is held submerged in water , it experiences a buoyant force due to which it floats in water . One has to apply downward force to keep it submerged. The lower the buoyant force , lower the force needed to submerge it in water.

When apple is held at much deeper point , it experience greater pressure due to column of water around it . So its size or its volume decreases . But its weight remains the same . Due to less volume , buoyant force also decreases ( buoyant force is equal to weight of displaced volume of water. )

Due to buoyant force becoming less , force needed on apple  in downward direction will also be less.

An fm radio station broadcasts at 98. 6 mhz. What is the wavelength of the radiowaves?.
victus00 [196]

The wavelength of the radio waves is 3.04 cm.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

λf = c

λ = c/f

where,

λ = wavelength

c = speed of light

f = frequency

Given,

f = 98.6 MHz = 98.6 × 10⁶

c = 3 × 10⁸

To find,

λ =?

Put the values in the formula,

λ = c/f

λ = 3 × 10⁸/98.6 × 10⁶

  = 0.0304 × 10²  m

  = 3.04 cm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radio waves is 3.04 cm.

Inez uses hairspray on her hair each morning before going to school. The spray spreads out before reaching her hair partly becau
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m is the distance between the charges

q_1=q_2=q since the charges are identical

F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C
