Answer:

2.2508\times 10^{19} m meter the mean free path of hydrogen atoms in interstellar space.Explanation:

The mean free path equation is given as:

\lambda =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2 n}

Where"

d = diameter of hydrogen atom in meters

n =  number of molecules per unit volume

We are given: d = 100 pm = 100\times 10^{-12}= 10^{-10} m

n = 1 m^{-3}

\lambda =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\pi (10^{-10} m)^2\times 1 m^{-3}}

\lambda =2.2508\times 10^{19} m

2.2508\times 10^{19} m meter the mean free path of hydrogen atoms in interstellar space.

True or False When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the
lesya [120]

Answer:

True; When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the

molecule is electropositive (δ+), it is said to have a dipole moment.

Explanation:

A dipole moment exists in a molecule as a result of differences in the electronegativity values between the atoms of the elements involved in the chemical bonding.

When a strogly electronegative atom such as oxygen or chlorine is chemically bonded to a less electronegative or an electropositive atom such as hydrogen, there is an uneven sharing of the electrons involved in the bonding. The more electronegative atoms tends to draw the shared electrons mostly to themselves. This induces a partially negative charge (δ-) on them while leaving the electropositive atoms with a partially positive charge (δ+).

Water is an example of a molecule having a dipole moment. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen and as such draw the shared electrons to themselves more, inducing a partial positive charge (δ+) on the hydrogen atoms while they themselves develop a partial negative charge (δ-).

When an alkane reacts with an element from group 7a, the reaction is referred to as?
Elena-2011 [213]
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon, that is they contain hydrogen and carbon without a double or triple bond between the carbon atoms, e.g. ethane, propane. Group 7a in the periodic table are called halogens e.g chlorine, bromine. Alkanes react with halogens in a reaction called substitution, where halogens replace hydrogen atoms in alkanes.

Consumption of a synthetic material being increased, leads to an associated negative impacts to Earth required to produce it is a True statement.

<h3>What is a Synthetic material?</h3>

There are the materials which are made by humans through chemical synthesis which are usually done in factories.

The production of this type of materials leads to the emission of chemicals and other gases which are harmful and negatively impacts the environment.

A hot air balloon is filled with 15 moles helium gas and 5 moles nitrogen gas. What is the volume of the balloon at 1.01 atm and
kvasek [131]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of He = 15

Moles of N2 = 5

Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm

Temperature (T) = 300 K

<u>To determine:</u>

The volume (V) of the balloon

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure of the gas

V = volume

n = number of moles of the gas

T = temperature

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

In this case we have:-

n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles

P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K

V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L

Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L

At 73.0 ∘c , what is the maximum value of the reaction quotient, q, needed to produce a non-negative e value for the reaction so
damaskus [11]
Here we will use the general formula of Nernst equation:

Ecell = E°Cell - [(RT/nF)] *㏑Q

when E cell is cell potential at non - standard state conditions

E°Cell is standard state cell potential = - 0.87 V

and R is a constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 73 + 273 = 346 K

and F is Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mole

and n is the number of moles of electron transferred in the reaction=2  

and Q is the reaction quotient for the reaction 
SO42-2(aq) + 4H+(aq) +2Br-(aq) ↔  Br2(aq) + SO2(g) +2H2O(l)

so by substitution :

0 = -0.87 - [(8.314*346K)/(2* 96485)*㏑Q      → solve for Q 


∴ Q = 4.5 x 10^-26
