Measures how tightly packed particles are

Fantom [35]3 years ago

5 0

Density measures how tightly packed particles are.

If particles are tightly packed together, they will be more dense.

If they are loosely together, they will be less dense.

However, a common mistake is thinking that if something

is more dense it means that it's heavier.

However, that's not the case.

It has to do with how particles are packed in an object.

Write the full ionic equation and net ionic equation for sodium dihydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate, sodium oxilate + calcl

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + 2 H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s)

Net ionic equation

2 H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s)

Sodium oxalate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + CaC₂O₄(s)

Net ionic equation

C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + CaC₂O₄(s)

Sodium hydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaHPO₄(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Net ionic equation

HPO₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaHPO₄(s) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider two kind of equations:

Full ionic equation: includes all ions and species that do not dissociate in water.
Net ionic equation: includes only ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and species that do not dissociate in water.

The decomposition of a compound at 400⁰C is first order with half-life of 1570 seconds. what fraction of an initial amount of th

kirill115 [55]

Answer: After 4710 seconds, 1/8 of the compound will be left

Explanation:

Using the formulae

Nt/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where

N= amount of the compound present at time t

No= amount of compound present at time t=0

t= time taken for N molecules of the compound to remain = 4710 seconds

t1/2 = half-life of compound = 1570 seconds

Plugging in the values, we have

Nt/No = (1/2)^(4710s/1570s)

Nt/No = (1/2)^3

Nt/No= 1/8

Therefore after 4710 seconds, 1/8 molecules of the compound will be left

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 124 subscript 56 B a right arrow superscript 124 subscript 55 upper C s plus qu

nadezda [96]

Superscript o subscript negative 1 e.

Explanation:

The nuclear reactions is of 2 types, one is nuclear fusion and the other one is nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion is nothing but the combining of 2 nuclei with an emission of energy along with an electron, proton or beta particle.

Nuclear fission is the break down of a nucleus into 2 or more nuclei along with an electron, proton or beta particle.

And the reaction is,

₅₆B¹²⁴ ₅₅C¹²⁴ + ₋₁e⁰

So the blank was filled by means of a beta particle.

Identify 3 physical changes that could occur with a sheet of paper

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1. Dimensions: The sheet can be cut into several smaller pieces.

2. Shape: the sheet can be formed into a paper ball or any other shape (using origami for example).

3. Color: You can use crayons to paint the sheet and change its color.

Explanation:

Physical changes do not change the chemical properties. They do not transform the compounds that form the substances. They do not break and or form chemical bonds.

When you change the form, the state (solid, liquid or gas), the color, you are just changing physical properties.

Only chemical changes change the compounds that form the substance. For instance, if you burn the sheet of paper, then you are causing a chemical change because the organic matter in the paper will react with oxygen forming CO₂ and water, but by cutting, folding, smashing, or coloring with crayons, the compounds in the sheet of paper do not change.
