Answer:

Radius of the interior sphere = 3.847 nm

Explanation:

The volume of the shell (Vs) is equal to the difference of the volume of the outer sphere (Vo) and the volume of the inner sphere (Vi). Then:

V_s=V_o-V_i=V_i\\V_o=2*V_i\\

If we express the radius of the outer sphere (ro) in function of the radius of the inner sphere (ri), we have (e being the shell thickness):

r_o=r_i+e

The first equation becomes

\frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_o^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\\frac{4 \pi}{3}*(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 *r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3})=2r_i^{3}\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3}=0\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}+3r_i+1=0

To find ri that satisfies this equation we have to find the roots of the polynomial.

Numerically, it could be calculated that ri=3.847 nm satisfies the equation.

So if the radius of the interior sphere is 3.847 nm, the volume of the interior sphere is equal to the volume of the shell of 1nm.

A magnesium ion, Mg2+, is formed from a magnesium atom, Mg.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The correct row is B.

Explanation:

The formation of the magnesium ion, Mg²⁺, comes from the removal of 2 electrons from the valence shell of the magnesium atom.<em> </em>Since the remotion is of electrons, the nucleus of the atom remains the same, so the number of protons and the number of neutrons does not change.<em> </em>

If the number of proton change, then the atom also change, since the identity of an atom is related to the atomic number which is the same to the proton number.          

Now, if the number of neutrons changes, then we would be in the presence of an isotope of the magnesium atom.        

Therefore, the correct row is B.  

I hope it helps you!

A student titrates a 20.00 mL sample of an aqueous borax solution with 1.03 M H2SO4. If 2.07 mL of acid are needed to reach the
RSB [31]

Answer:

The concentration of the borax solution is 0.1066 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Dtaa given

Volume of a sample of aqueous borax solution = 20.00 mL = 0.020 L

Molarity of H2SO4  = 1.03 M

Volume of the H2SO4 = 2.07 mL = 0.00207 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

Na2B4O7*10H2O(borax) + H2SO4 ⇆ Na2SO4 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O

Step 3: Calculate molarity of borax solution

b*Ca*Va = a * Cb*Vb

⇒with B = the coefficient of H2SO4 = 1

⇒with Ca = the concentration of borax = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with Va = the volume of borax = 0.020 L

⇒with a = the coefficient of borax = 1

⇒with Cb = the concentration of H2SO4 = 1.03 M

⇒with Vb = the volume of H2SO4 = 0.00207 L

Ca*0.020 L = 1.03 M * 0.00207 L

Ca = (1.03 * 0.00207) / 0.020

Ca = 0.1066 M

The concentration of the borax solution is 0.1066 M

How’s it possible for liquid to boil at 25 C?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Well, not always. It depends on where you're doing the boiling. In fact, water will boil at about 202 degrees in Denver, due to the lower air pressure at such high elevations
