Answer: A persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.

Explanation:

Non-volatile substance is defined as the one which does not readily evaporate into its surrounding. Generally, a non-volatile substance has strong intermolecular forces between its molecules.

A non-volatile substance will take more than 24 hours to remain on the surface.

On the other hand, a substance with weak intermolecular forces present in its molecules will readily evaporate into the atmosphere.

For example, acetic acid is a volatile substance and quickly evaporates into the atmosphere.

Thus, we can conclude that a persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.

Pharmacists sometimes measure medicines in the unit of "grains," where 1 gr = 65 mg. The label on a bottle of aspirin reads "Asp
viva [34]

Answer:

325mg of Aspririn

Explanation:

First you should note the information that the problem gives you:

- The bottle of Aspirin has 5gr (grains)

- 1gr(grain) = 65mg (miligrams)

Also, the problem is asking about how many aspirin are in 5 gr (grains), so you should use a conversion factor, as follows:

-First you should put the quantity you need to convert:

5grAspirin

-Then you write the denominator of the conversion factor that must have the same units that you want to convert, in this case gr:

5grAspirin*\frac{}{1grAspirin}

-Then you write the numerator with the units that you want to obtain and the numerical equivalence between the units, in this case:

5grAspirin*\frac{65mgAspririn}{1grAspirin}

-Finally you multiply numerators and divide by denominators:

5grAspirin*\frac{65mgAspririn}{1grAspirin}=325mgAspririn

How is Carbon-12 and Carbon-13 different? What’s is the name that describes these two atoms?
Maslowich

Answer:

Carbon 12 and 13 are carbon isotopes, meaning that they have additional neutrons:

Carbon 12 has exactly 6 protons and 6 neutrons ( hence the 12 )

Carbon 13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons ( hence the 13 )

They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

Names:

carbon-13, C-13

carbon-12, C-12

What is the mass of 0.5 moles of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

44 g

Explanation:

The formula for the number of moles (n) is equal to n=\frac{mass}{molecular weight} .

Since we need to find the mass, we derive it from the formula of the number of moles and we get that mass = n x molecular weight .

The molecular weight of CF_{4} = 12 g/mol (from the carbon) + 19x4 g/mol (from the 4 fluorine atoms)= 88 g/mol

We plug in the numbers in the derived formula for the mass and we get :

mass = n x molecular weight = 0.5 mol x 88 g/mol = 44 g

Which solution has the lowest freezing point?
Leokris [45]
<span>Correct Answer: Option 3 i.e. 30 g of KI dissolved in 100 g of water.

Reason:
Depression in freezing point is a colligative property and it is directly proportional to molality of solution.

Molality of solution is mathematically expressed as,
Molality = </span>\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Weight of solvent (Kg)}}<span>

In case of option 1 and 2, molality of solution is 0.602 m. For option 3, molality of solution is 1.807 m, while in case of option 4, molality of solution is 1.205 m.

<u><em>Thus, second solution (option 2) has highest concentration (in terms of molality). Hence, it will have lowest freezing point</em></u></span>

The anesthetic procaine hydrochloride is often used to deaden pain during dental surgery. the compound is packaged as a 10.% sol
vichka [17]

 

10% solution means=\frac{10g}{100mL}  

= \frac{0.1g}{1mL}  

= 100 mg/mL  

If the dentist inject 0.3 mL, that is equal to 0.3× 100 mg.

If the dentist inject 0.3 mL, that is equal to 30 mg.

So, as  anesthetic procaine hydrochloride is often used to deaden pain during dental surgery. the compound is packaged as a 10.% solution (by mass; d = 1.0 g/ml) in water. When our dentist injects 0.30 ml of the solution, 30 mg of procaine hydrochloride (in milligrams) is injected.
