under certain water​ conditions, the free chlorine​ (hypochlorous acid,​ hocl) in a swimming pool decomposes according to the la

w of uninhibited decay. after shocking a​ pool, the pool​ boy, geoff, tested the water and found the amount of free chlorine to be 2.6 parts per million​ (ppm). twenty-four hours​ later, geoff tested the water again and found the amount of free chlorine to be 2.1 ppm. what will be the reading after 2 days​ (that is, 48 ​hours)

Answer:

1.7 ppm

Explanation:

Original amount N' = 2.6 ppm

time to testing t = 24 hr

final amount N = 2.1 ppm

Using exponential inhibited decay, we have

N = N'e^(-kt)

Where

N is the new reading

N' is the original reading

t is the decay time

k is the decay constant

Substituting, we have

2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-k x 24)

2.1 = 2.6 x e^(-24k)

0.808 = e^(-24k)

We take the natural log of both sides of the equation

Ln 0.808 = Ln (e^(-24k))

-0.213 = - 24k

K = 0.213/24 = 0.00886

After 48 hrs, the reading of free chlorine will be

N = 2.6 x e^(-0.00886 x 48)

N = 2.6 x e^(-0.425)

N = 2.6 x 0.654

N = 1.7 ppm

Katena32 [7]

ANSWER

2 valence electrons

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The electronic configuration is given below as

1s^22s^22p^62s^23p^64s^2

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons

Hence, the valence electrons are 2

An atom of gold has a mass of 3.271 X 10-22 g. How many atoms of gold are in 5.00 g of gold? (Give your answer in scientific not
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

1.53 × 10²² atoms Ag

Explanation:

Step 1: Define conversions

3.271 × 10⁻²² g = 1 atom

Step 2: Use Dimensional Analysis

5.00 \hspace{3} g \hspace{3} Ag(\frac{1 \hspace{3} atom \hspace{3} Ag}{3.271(10)^{-22} \hspace{3} g \hspace{3} Ag} ) = 1.52858 × 10²² atoms Ag

Step 3: Simplify

We have 3 sig figs.

1.52858 × 10²² atoms Ag ≈ 1.53 × 10²² atoms Ag

Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions? Which is generally stronger, intermolec
Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.

B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

Explanation:

<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>

Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.

<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>

When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.
