Answer:

9 electrons when there is no charge shown. It has 2 shells, this is easy to see on the periodic table because it is in the second row. Otherwise you can count. There is 2 electrons on the inner shell then every shell after holds 8. Fluorine only has 9 electrons so 2 for the first shell and 7 on the outter shell. It needs 1 more electron to fill its outter (valence) shell.

A thermometer having first-order dynamics with a time constant of 1 min is placed in a temperature bath at 100oF. After the ther

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F

Explanation:

The equation relating the temperature to time is

$T = T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )$

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min

(a) After 0.5 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.6065)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.3935)\\ & = & 100 + 3.935\\ & = & 103.935\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

(b) After 1 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.6321)\\ & = & 100 + 6.321\\ & = & 106.321\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min

T₀ =106.321 °F

ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F

t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-(t - 1)/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-(2 - 1)/1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (0.6321)\\ & = & 106.321 - 3.996\\ & = & 102.325\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.

The graphs are shown below.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: $2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.

All the hydrocarbons burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.Thus the complete balanced equation is:

$2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$
