Explanation:

Scientific method basically minimizes the bias and prejudice in the experimenter. It provides an standardized approach for an experiment. It is a logical approach to seek knowledge that involves forming and testing a hypothesis. There is not a single way to list the steps in scientific method, but the ultimate goal is to gather data that will check the validity of an experiment.

Calculate the solubility of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2, in g/L

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Ksp = [ Cu+² ] [ OH-] ²

molar mass Cu(oH )2 ==> M= 63.546 (1) + 16 (2) + 1 (2) = 97.546 g/mol

Ksp = [ Cu+² ] [ OH-] ²

Ksp [ cu (OH)2 ] = 2.2 × 10-²⁰

|__________|___Cu+² __|_2OH-____|

|Initial concentration(M)|___0__|_0______|

|Change in concentration(M)|_+S |__+2S__|

|Equilibrium concentration(M)|_S _|2S___|

Ksp = [ Cu+² ] [ OH-] ²

2.2 ×10-²⁰ = (S)(2S)²= 4S³

$s = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{2.2 \times {10}^{ - 20} }{4} } = 1.8 \times {10}^{ - 7}$

S = 1.8 × 10-⁷ M

The molar solubility of Cu(OH)2 is 1.8 × 10-⁷ M

Solubility of Cu (OH)2 =

$Cu (OH)2 = \frac{1.8 \times {10}^{ - 7} mol \:Cu (OH)2 }{1L} \times \frac{97.546 \: g \: Cu (OH)2}{1 \: mol \: Cu (OH)2} \\ = 1.75428 \times 10 ^{ - 5}$

<h3>Solubility of Cu (OH)2 = 1.75428 × 10 -⁵ g/ L</h3>

The reaction of hydrogen(g) with fluorine(g) to form hydrogen fluoride(g) proceeds as follows: H2(g) + F2(g) 2 HF(g) When 0.647

Nata [24]

Answer: The value of $\Delta H$ for the reaction will be -537 kJ

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of hydrogen gas = 0.647 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{0.647g}{2g/mol}=0.324mol$

We are given:

Energy released for 0.324 moles of hydrogen reacted is 174 kJ

For the given chemical reaction:

$H_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2HF(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 0.324 moles of hydrogen gas is reacted, the energy evolved is 174 kJ

So, when 1 mole of hydrogen gas will react, the energy evolved will be = $\frac{174kJ}{0.324mol}\times 1mol=537kJ$

Sign convention of heat:

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

Hence, the value of $\Delta H$ for the reaction will be -537 kJ

Wave crests in a pond are separated by 0.2 m. The period of these waves is 0.2 s. What is the speed at which these waves travel?

romanna [79]

The crest is cover distance. The speed of a wave indicate how fast wave is moving. The speed is the distance traveled by a crest in a given interval of time. Greater distance in same amount of time means wave travel faster.
speed of wave = distance/time.
speed of wave = 0,2 m ÷ 0,2 s = 1 m/s.

How many micrograms (ug) are in 3.4 x 10^-5 ounces (oz)

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

964ug

Explanation:

The problem here involves converting from one unit to another.

We are to convert from ounces to micrograms.

1ug = 1 x 10⁻⁶g

1oz = 28.35g

So we first convert to grams from oz then take to ug:

Solving:

1oz = 28.35g

3.4 x 10⁻⁵oz will then give 3.4 x 10⁻⁵ x 28.35 = 9.64 x 10⁻⁴g

So;

1 x 10⁻⁶g = 1ug

9.64 x 10⁻⁴g will give $\frac{9.64 x 10^{-4} }{1 x 10^{-6} }$ = 9.64 x 10²ug or 964ug
