How do scientsts determine is a newly found thing is dead or alive.

1 answer:

4 0

The substance is dead or alive is determined by response or consciousness of the substance to external stimulus.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The living organisms do have several characteristics. They are growth, reproduction, consciousness etc. But among them, consciousness is the only feature that's confined within only the living world. No non living things have this feature.

So if the scientist can find that the substance found have some response to external stimulus, then it does have life. And if it doesn't response to any sort of external stimulus, then it doesn't have life.

A student ran the following reaction in the laboratory at 311 K:CH4(g) + CCl4(g) 2CH2Cl2(g)When she introduced 4.10×10-2 moles o

statuscvo [17]

Answer: The value of $K_{eq}$ is 0.044

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial moles of methane = $4.10\times 10^{-2}mol=0.0410moles$

Initial moles of carbon tetrachloride = $6.51\times 10^{-2}mol=0.0651moles$

Volume of the container = 1.00 L

Concentration of a substance is calculated by:

$\text{Concentration}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

So, concentration of methane = $\frac{0.0410}{1.00}=0.0410M$

Concentration of carbon tetrachloride = $\frac{0.0651}{1.00}=0.0651M$

The given chemical equation follows:

$CH_4(g)+CCl_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2CH_2Cl_2(g)$

Initial: 0.0410 0.0651

At eqllm: 0.0410-x 0.0651-x 2x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of carbon tetrachloride = $6.02\times 10^{-2}M=0.0602M$

Evaluating the value of 'x', we get:

$\Rightarrow (0.0651-x)=0.0602\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.0049M$

Now, equilibrium concentration of methane = $0.0410-x=[0.0410-0.0049]=0.0361M$

Equilibrium concentration of $CH_2Cl_2=2x=[2\times 0.0049]=0.0098M$

The expression of $K_{eq}$ for the above reaction follows:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[CH_2Cl_2]^2}{[CH_4]\times [CCl_4]}$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_{eq}=\frac{(0.0098)^2}{0.0361\times 0.0603}\\\\K_{eq}=0.044$

Hence, the value of $K_{eq}$ is 0.044

Iron fluoride (FeF2) dissociates according to the following equation:

melomori [17]

Answer:

S = 0.788 g/L

Explanation:

The solubility product (Kps) is an equilibrium solubization constant, which can be calculated by the equation:

$Kps = \frac{[product]^x}{[reagent]^y}$

Where x and y are the stoichiometric coefficients of the product and the reagent, respectively. Because of the aggregation form, the concentration of solids is always equal to 1 for use in this equation.

Analyzing the equation, we see that for 1 mol of $Fe^{+2}$ is necessary 2 mols of $F^-$ , so if we call "x" the molar concentration of $Fe^2$ , for $F^-$ we will have 2x, so:

$Kps = [Fe^{+2}].[F^-]^2\\\\2.36x10^{-6} = x(2x)^2\\\\2.36x10^{-6} = 4x^3\\\\x^3 = 5.9x10^{-7}\\\\x = \sqrt[3]{5.9x10^{-7}} \\\\x = 8.4x10^{-3} mol/L$

So, to calculate the solubility (S) of FeF2, which is in g/L, we multiply this concentration by the molar mass of FeF2, which is:

Fe = 55.8 g/mol

F = 19 g/mol

FeF2 = Fe + 2xF = 55.8 + 2x19 = 93.8 g/mol

So,

[tex]S = 8.4x10^{-3}x93.8

S = 0.788 g/L
