Answer: $38.5^0C$

Explanation:

To calculate the initial temperature of the water:

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat absorbed = $5.73\times 10^5J$

$c$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

m = mass of water = 2230 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = $100^0C$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$5.73\times 10^5J=2230g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (100-T_i)^0C$

$(100-T_i)=61.5$

$T_i=100-61.5)=38.5^0C$

Thus, the initial temperature of the water is $38.5^0C$

When using 100ml or 50ml graduated cylinder to what decimal place can your volume be estimated?<br>

Olegator [25]

Answer:

I know that the 100-mL graduated cylinders are always read to 1 decimal place.

I think for 50 mL graduated cylinders, it lets you measure volumes up to 50.0 mL to the nearest 0.1 or 0.2 mL, depending on your exact cylinder.

If the initial [NO2] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M. If the initial is 0.260 , it

At elevated temperature, nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitrogen oxide and oxygen gas

$NO_2\rightarrow NO+\frac{1}{2}O_2$

The reaction is second order for $NO_2$ with a rate constant of $0.543M^{-1}s^{-1}$ at 300°C. If the initial [NO₂] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M

a) 1.01 b) 5.19 c) 0.299 d) 0.0880 e) 3.34

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken is 5.19 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:

$k=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{[A]}-\frac{1}{[A]_o}\right)$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.543M^{-1}s^{-1}$

t = time taken = ?

[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = 0.150 M

$[A]_o$ = Initial concentration = 0.260 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.543=\frac{1}{t}\left (\frac{1}{(0.150)}-\frac{1}{(0.260)}\right)\\\\t=5.19s$

Hence, the time taken is 5.19 seconds

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ

Which pH value represents a solution with the lowest OHM<br> ion concentration?

Arlecino [84]

pH value 1 represents a solution with the lowest OH⁻ion concentration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is given by the expression as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

If the pH is lower than 7, pH < 7 then it is acidic

If the pH = 7, then it is neutral

If the pH > 7, then it is basic

If pH is 1 then the solution is showing mostly acidic character,which is least basic in its character.

So if the pH is 1, which is most acidic and least basic solution that is lowest OH⁻ ion concentration.

In the early 1960s, radioactive strontium-90 was released during atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons and got into the bones o

Advocard [28]

Answer:

52.54 %

Explanation:

Half life = 29 years

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

Where, k is rate constant

So,

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

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{29.0}\ {years}^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.023902 hour⁻¹

From 1964 to 1991:

Time = 27 years

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

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

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.023902\times 27}$

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=0.5245$

<u>The strontium-90 remains in the bone = 52.54 %</u>
