Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "He passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection".

Explanation:

J. J. Thomson was a notorious scientist that did not only made the discovery of the electron, but he measure its charge to mass ratio. In order to determine this property, Thomson passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection. Cathode rays are actually composed of particles, which are now known as electrons, and its charge to mass ratio is about 10^8 coulomb per gram.

A solution was prepared by mixing 0.5000 m hno2 with 0.380 m no2-. ka = 4.58 x 10-4. calculate the ph of the solution. show work
adell [148]

pH of buffer can be calculated as:

pH=pKa+log[salt]/[Acid]

As ka = 4.58 x 10-4

Concentration of [Salt] that is NO2(-1)=0.380M

Concentration of [Acid] that is HNO2=0.500M

So, pH= -log(4.58*10^-4)+log((0.380)/0.500))

=3.21

So pH of solution will be 3.21

The standard enthalpy of formation for glucose [c6h12o6(s)] is −1273.3 kj/mol. what is the correct formation equation correspond
balu736 [363]
The standard formation equation for glucose C6H12O6(s) that corresponds to the standard enthalpy of formation or enthalpy change ΔH°f = -1273.3 kJ/mol is 
     C(s) + H2(g) + O2(g) → C6H12O6(s)
and the balanced chemical equation is 
     6C(s) + 6H2(g) + 3O2(g) → C6H12O6(s)

Using the equation for the standard enthalpy change of formation 
     ΔHoreaction = ∑ΔHof(products)−∑ΔHof(Reactants)
     ΔHoreaction = ΔHfo[C6H12O6(s)] - {ΔHfo[C(s, graphite) + ΔHfo[H2(g)] + ΔHfo[O2(g)]}

C(s), H2(g), and O2(g) each have a standard enthalpy of formation equal to 0 since they are in their most stable forms:
     ΔHoreaction = [1*-1273.3] - [(6*0) + (6*0) + (3*0)]
                           = -1273.3 - (0 + 0 + 0)
                           = -1273.3

What is an ion? What are the two ways in which an ion can be made?
denpristay [2]
Answer: Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the ...
