Answer:

Chemical formula.

Explanation:

A chemical formula have fix proportion of atoms of elements.

Chemical formula:

A chemical formula is the way of presenting the chemical proportion of atoms of those elements, that combine to form a compound.

For example:

Water consist of two atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e water. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 2:1 in molecule of water.

H₂O

2:1

Carbon dioxide consist of two atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e carbon dioxide. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 1:2 in molecule of carbon dioxide .

CO₂

1;2

1. NaOH mass of a solution of 200g in which its percentage is 25%. What mass of sulfuric acid solution is needed to completely n

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$m_{H2SO4$ = 61.25 g

$m_{Na2SO4}$ = 88.75 g

Explanation:

$m_{NaOH}$ = $\frac{200 . 25 }{100}$ = 50 g

⇒ $n_{NaOH}$ = $\frac{50}{40}$ = 1.25 (moles)

2NaOH + H2SO4 ⇒ Na2SO4 + 2H2O

2 : 1 : 1 : 2

1.25 (moles)

⇒ $n_{H2SO4}$ = 1.25 × 1 ÷ 2 = 0.625 (moles) ⇒ $m_{H2SO4}$ = 0.625 × 98 = 61.25 g

$n_{Na2SO4}$ = 1.25 × 1 ÷ 2 = 0.625 (moles) ⇒ $m_{Na2SO4}$ = 0.625 × 142 = 88.75 g

elements on the right side of the periodic table differ from the elements on the left side in that elements on the right side

yarga [219]

Element on the right side of the periodic table differ from the elements on the left side in that elements on the right side are non metallic and tends to be gases at room temperature.

Explanation

In the periodic table there element in the right side , left side and those which are in between.

Example of element in the right side is fluorine chlorine, neon, Argon among others.

This element have higher effective nuclear charges and stabilize electrons more effectively.
there electrostatic intermolecular forces are generally weak therefore they exist in liquid or gaseous state.

A comic book villain is holding you at gun point and is making you drink a sample of acid he gives you a beaker with 100 ml of a

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

b. 10 mL

Explanation:

First we calculate the amount of H⁺ moles in the acid:

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = $10^{-pH}$

[H⁺] = 10⁻⁵ = 1x10⁻⁵M

100 mL ⇒ 100 / 1000 = 0.100 L

1x10⁻⁵M * 0.100 L = 1x10⁻⁶ mol H⁺

In order to have a neutral solution we would need the same amount of OH⁻ moles.

We can use the pOH value of the strong base:

pOH = 14 - pH

pOH = 14 - 10 = 4

Then we calculate the molar concentration of the OH⁻ species in the basic solution:

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = $10^{-pOH}$ = 1x10⁻⁴ M

If we use 10 mL of the basic solution the number of OH⁻ would be:

10 mL ⇒ 10 / 1000 = 0.010 L

1x10⁻⁴ M * 0.010 L = 1x10⁻⁶ mol OH⁻

It would be equal to the moles of H⁺ so the answer is b.

A cup has a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. How could you separate theses 3 materials? Write out the procedures you wou

Anarel [89]

Explanation:

A cup of mixtures of iron fillings, sand and salt is a mixture who constituents are in the same phase i.e solid.

To separate them out we use the physical properties of the substances.

First spread out the mixture uniformly over a piece of paper or on the table.
Pass a bar magnet over it.
The iron fillings will become attracted to the magnet and separate from the mixture.
then pour water into the mixture of sand and salt
the salt will dissolve since sand is made up of quartz which are highly insoluble.
separate the water solution. Evaporate to dryness and recover the salt.
the sand is left behind and dried.
