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.

A sodium hydroxide solution is made by mixing 8.70 g NaOH with 100 g of water. The resulting solution has a density of 1.087 g/m
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Mass fraction = 0.08004

Mole fraction = 0.0377

Explanation:

Given, Mass of NaOH = 8.70 g

Mass of solution = 8.70 + 100 g = 108.70 g

Mass\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {8.70}{108.70} = 0.08004

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

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

Thus,

Moles= \frac{8.70\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ NaOH= 0.2175\ mol

Given, Mass of water = 100 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

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

Thus,

Moles= \frac{100\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ water= 5.5508\ mol

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {n_{NaOH}}{n_{NaOH}+n_{water}}

Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {0.2175}{0.2175+5.5508}=0.0377

How were atomic models developed when no one had seen an atom?
AnnyKZ [126]
Atomic models were developed through indirect observation even though no one had seen an atom. There were many experiments of which I know nothing about, but in the end the scientists managed to come up with a formula and various models to describe atoms.

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

What was the oxygen crisis
salantis [7]
The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.
