Determine how many valence electrons magnesium contains

Explain how a redox reacation involves electrons in the same way that a neutralization reaction involves protons

lidiya [134]

For the neutralization process: an acid acts as a donor and donates protons to the base. On the other hand, the base acts as an acceptor and accepts the transferred protons. In a nutshell, neutralization is mainly proton transfer process.

As for the redox process: the oxidized material usually transfers electrons to the reduced material. In a nutshell, redox is mainly electron transfer process.

How would changing the proportions of substance in an alloy change its properties?

sammy [17]

An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals which is produced with a specific proportion between metals. So, if the proportion is changed the physical characteristic would be changed as well. For example, brass musical instruments are made of brass which is a mixture (an alloy) of zinc and copper in a specific proportion. If you change a proportion, you will change the physical characteristic of brass musical instruments, and a sound they produce will be different.

A wooden tool is found at an archaeological site. Estimate the age of the tool using the following information: A 100 gram sampl

lord [1]

Answer:

2578.99 years

Explanation:

Given that:

100 g of the wood is emitting 1120 β-particles per minute

Also,

1 g of the wood is emitting 11.20 β-particles per minute

Given, Decay rate = 15.3 % per minute per gram

So,

Concentration left can be calculated as:-

C left = $[A_t]=\frac{11.20\ per\ minute}{15.3\ per\ minute\ per\ gram}\times [A_0]= 0.7320[A_0]$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Also, Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{5730}\ years^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹

Time =?

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$\frac {0.7320[A_0]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$0.7320=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$ln\ 0.7320=-0.000120968\times t$

<u>t = 2578.99 years</u>

2.00 moles of an ideal gas was found to occupy a volume of 17.4L at a pressure of 3.00 atm and at a temperature of 45 C. Calulat

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$0.082 atm L mol^{-1} K^{-1}$

Explanation:

The pressure, the volume and the temperature of an ideal gas are related to each other by the equation of state:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

For the gas in this problem:

n = 2.00 mol is the number of moles

V = 17.4 L is the gas volume

p = 3.00 atm is the gas pressure

$T=45C+273=318 K$ is the absolute temperature

Solving for R, we find the gas constant:

$R=\frac{pV}{nT}=\frac{(3.00)(17.4)}{(2.00)(318)}=0.082 atm L mol^{-1} K^{-1}$
