Answer:

Barometric pressure is 942.3 cm of column of water.

Explanation:

We can measure barometric pressure by measuring the height h of a column of fluid (this column of fluid exerts the same pressure as the column of air of which we are measuring pressure) using the following formula:

P = \rho*g*h\\

Where ρ is the density of the fluid used and g the acceleration of gravity.

Knowing that both the column of mercury (to match units, we know that 698 mmHg are the same as 69.8 cmHg) and the column of water are representing the same pressure, we can match expressions and find h for the column of water:

\rho_{Hg} *g*h_{Hg} =\rho_{Water} *g*h_{Water}\\ \\h_{Water}=\frac{rho_{Hg} *g*h_{Hg}}{\rho_{Water} *g} = \frac{13.5g/mL *9.8m/s^{2} *69.8cm}{1g/mL *9.8m/s^{2}}=942.3 cmH_{2}O

21+ Cl2 → 12+201 -
Alina [70]

Answer:

\rm 2\; I^{-} + Cl_2 \to I_2 + 2 \; Cl^{-}.

Start color: yellowish-green.

End color: dark purple.

Assumption: no other ion in the solution is colored.

Explanation:

In this reaction, chlorine gas \rm Cl_2 oxidizes iodine ions \rm I^{-} to elemental iodide \rm I_2. At the same time, the chlorine atoms are converted to chloride ions \rm Cl^{-}.

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are all halogens. They are all found in the 17th column of the periodic table from the left. One similarity is that their anions are not colored. However, their elemental forms are typically colored. Besides, moving down the halogen column, the color becomes darker for each element.

Among the reactants of this reaction, \rm I^{-} is colorless. If there's no other colored ion, only the yellowish-green hue of \rm Cl_2 would be visible. Hence the initial color of the reaction would be the yellowish-green color of \rm Cl_2.

Similarly, among the products of this reaction, \rm Cl^{-} is colorless. If there's no other colored ion, only the dark purple hue of \rm I_2 would be visible. Hence the initial color of the reaction would be the dark purple color of \rm I_2.

Explain at least one observation you can make about the political borders and the language borders shown on the maps.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

A boundary is a real or imaginary line that separates two things. In geography, boundaries separate different regions of the Earth.The most obvious type of boundary is a physical boundary. A physical boundary is a naturally occurring barrier between two areas. Rivers, mountain ranges, oceans, and deserts can all serve as physical boundaries. Many times, political boundaries between countries or states form along physical boundaries. For example, the boundary between France and Spain follows the peaks of the Pyrenees Mountains, while the Alps separate France from Italy.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the boundary between southwestern Europe and northwestern Africa. This narrow waterway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea is an important political, economic, and social boundary between the continents.

Rivers are common boundaries between nations, states, and smaller political units such as counties. The Rio Grande forms a large part of the boundary between Mexico and the United States. The Mississippi Riveris the defining boundary between many of the states it winds through, including Iowa and Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee, and Louisiana and Mississippi.

How many grams of oxygen can be obtained from 250. grams of KCIO3?
guapka [62]

Answer:

Keep it simple. If all the oxygen contained in the 200 grams of potassium chlorate is produced in the decomposition, then all we have to do is find out how many grams of oxygen are there in the 200 grams. This we can do by calculating the ratio of oxygen mass to the whole. Using 39.1 for potassium, 35.45 for chlorine and 3 times 16, or 48 for the oxygen, we get a total of 122.55 grams per mole for potassium chlorate, of which 48 grams are oxygen. This ratio is 48/122.55. This ratio times the original 200 grams of the compound, gives us 78.34 grams of oxygen produced.

a 22.44g sample of iron absorbs 180.8 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 21.1C to 39.0/ what is
NeX [460]

Answer:

The specific heat of iron is 0.45 J/g.°C

Explanation:

The amount of heat absorbed by the metal is given by:

heat = m x Sh x ΔT

From the data, we have:

heat = 180.8 J

mass = m = 22.44 g

ΔT = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 39.0°C - 21.1 °C = 17.9°C

Thus, we calculate the specific heat of iron (Sh) as follows:

Sh = heat/(m x ΔT)  = (180.8 J)/(22.44 g x 17.9°C) = 0.45 J/g.°C
