Chemistry
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
4 0
  1. <u>Physical Properties :</u>
  • It is a crystalline colorless solid structure it is soluble in solution such as ether, alcohol, and chloroform but insoluble in water.
  • It is dangerous when it is dry and is very volatile and decomposes when it reaches 103 c.

    2. <u>Chemical Properties :</u>

  • It causes swelling of the skin and undergoes free radical products that are highly reactive.
  • It is irritant when it contacts the skin it breaks down to yield oxygen and benzoic acid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Benzoyl Peroxide is widely used in industry at large scale.
  • It is formed when there is a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and benzoyl chloride.
  • Benzoyl peroxide is used in bread and cheese as the bleaching agent and also used in cosmetics as hair coloring.  
  • Because of its antibacterial property and a peroxide group it is applied to the human skin to treat acne.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Step 1: O_3\rightarrow O_2+O

Step 2: NO+O\rightarrow NO_2

Overall reaction can be determined  by adding all the reactions of mechanism:

O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2

Reactants in an overall reaction = O_3\& NO

Products in an overall reaction = O_2\& NO_2

According to question , the role of oxygen gas is product.

0. Give an example of how an organism can use surface tension.<br><br><br>​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In case of plants surface tension help to support the transpiration pull.

Explanation:

Surface tension is a force that hold the molecules in the surface to minimize the surface area.

   During evaporation of excess amount of water from the stomata of leaves of plants by transpiration a surface tension is generated.

   The generated surface tension helps to maintain the water column within the xylem tissue by the absorption of water from the soil by the roots.

Identify some other substances (besides KCl) that might give a positive test for chloride upon addition of AgNO3. do you think i
nlexa [21]

Answer:

-The other substances that give a positive test with AgNO3 are other chlorides present, iodides and bromide.

-It is reasonable to exclude iodides and bromides but it is not reasonable to exclude other chlorides

Explanation:

In the qualitative determination of halogen ions, silver nitrate solution(AgNO3) is usually used. Now, various halide ions will give various colours of precipitate when mixed with with silver nitrate. For example, chlorides(Cl-) normally yield a white precipitate, bromides(Br-) normally yield a cream precipitate while iodides (I-) normally yield a yellow precipitate. Thus, all these ions or some of them may be present in the system.

With that being said, if other chlorides are present, they will also yield a white precipitate just like KCl leading to a false positive test for KCl. However, since other halogen ions yield precipitates of different colours, they don't lead to a false test for KCl. Thus, we can exclude other halides from the tendency to give us a false positive test for KCl but not other chlorides.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No photoelectric effect is observed for Mercury.

Explanation:

From E= hf

h= Plank's constant

f= frequency of incident light

Threshold Frequency of mercury= 435×10^3/ 6.6×10^-34 × 6.02×10^23

f= 11×10^14 Hz

The highest frequency of visible light is 7.5×10^14. This is clearly less than the threshold frequency of mercury hence no electron is emitted from the mercury surface
