What are the electrons capable of Sharing accepting or donating called?

1 answer:

8 0

Substances have different tendencies to donate or accept electrons. When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in many aerobic reactions (reactions with oxygen). Hydrogen gas (H2) is a good electron donor.

When O2 and H2 are combined, along with a catalyst, water (H2O) is formed. This example of a redox reaction can be written like this:

One of the great upcoming sports in the Olympics is the sport of curling. Write a brief essay on the uses of momentum collisions

Usimov [2.4K]

The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.

At the Henry's Law constant for carbon dioxide gas in water is . Calculate the mass in grams of gas that can be dissolved in of

Dvinal [7]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

At 25°C Henry's Law constant for carbon dioxide gas in water is 0.031 M/atm . Calculate the mass in grams of gas that can be dissolved in 425. mL of water at 25°C and at a partial pressure of 2.92 atm. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved is 1.7 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $0.031M/atm$

$C_{CO_2}$ = molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 2.92 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=0.031M/atm\times 2.92 atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=0.0905M$

To calculate the mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Given mass of carbon dioxide = ? g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molarity of solution = $0.0905mol/L$

Volume of solution = 425 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0905mol/L=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}\times 1000}{44g/mol\times 425}\\\\\text{Mass of solute}=\frac{44\times 425\times 0.0905}{1000}=1.7g$

Hence, the mass of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved is 1.7 grams

Which phrase is the best definition for the word common in environmental science?

andreev551 [17]

I believe that the best definition of the word common in environmental science is a typical resource. A typical resource is a resource that is not hard to find and is very common. The answer to the question will hence be A.
The answer could not be the other three choices because a shared resource is a resource that is used by more than one organism in the environment. A worthless resource is one that has no use in the environment while a rare resource is one that is hard to find.

Thermochemical equations are chemical equations that include the __________ of the reaction.

irga5000 [103]

A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH. In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:

A + B → CΔH = (±) #

Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.

A chemist weighed out 19.9 g of aluminum. Calculate the number of moles of aluminum she weighed out.

vodomira [7]

Aluminum is 26.982 grams per mole, so 26.982/19.9 will give you the moles 1.3558794
