Answer : The correct option is, (3) Beaker.

Explanation :

Graduated cylinder : It is a measuring cylinder that is used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. The marked line drawn on the graduated cylinder shows the amount of liquid that has been measured.

Pipet : It is a type of laboratory equipment that is used to measure the volume of a liquid. It is small glass tube and the marked line drawn on the pipet. It is used to accurately measure and transfer of volume of liquid from one container to another.

Buret : It is a type of laboratory tool that is also used for measuring the volume of liquid. It is a glass tube with tap present at one end for transferring the liquid. It is also used to accurately measure and transfer of liquid.

Beaker : It is a type of laboratory equipment that has cylindrical shape and it is used for the mixing, stirring, and heating of chemicals.

As per question, we conclude that the beaker is least precise than other devices because in beaker the marking lines are not accurate. Thus, it cannot be used to measure volume to precision.

Hence, the correct option is, (3) Beaker.

3. beaker, beakers are made to just give you a rough estimate of volume all other ones are very precise.

Hope that helps :)

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

The gas laws are used to describe the parameters that has to do with gases.

Given that;

P1 = 98.5 kPa

T1 = 18oC or 291 K

V1 = 74.0 dm3

P2 = 7.0 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 18oC or 291 K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 =P2V2T1

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 = 98.5 kPa * 74.0 dm3 * 291 K/ 7.0 kPa * 291 K

V2 = 1041.3 dm3

When;

V1 = 1041.3 dm3

T1 = 291 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 80oC or 353 K

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = V1T2/T1

V2 = 1041.3 dm3 * 353 K/291 K

V2 = 1263 dm3

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

Given that

V1 = 100 cm^3

T1 = 273 K

P1 = 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

V2 = ?

P2 = 3.00 x 10^-4 Pa

T2 = -180oC or 255 K

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 = 1.01 * 10^5 Pa * 100 cm^3 * 255 K / 3.00 x 10^-4 Pa * 273 K

V2 = 3.14 * 10^10 cm^3

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

<u>For b:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

<u>For c:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

<u>For a:</u> Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

<u>For b:</u> Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

<u>For c:</u> Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] 2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

[Given] 5.55 mol C₃H₇OH

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol C₃H₇OH → 6 CO₂

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 5.55 \ mol \ C_3H_7OH(\frac{6 \ mol \ CO_2}{2 \ mol \ C_3H_7OH})(\frac{44.01 \ g \ CO_2}{1 \ mol \ CO_2})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 732.767 \ g \ CO_2$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

732.767 g CO₂ ≈ 733 g CO₂
