Answer:

The unbalanced chemical equation: H₂O₂ → H₂O + O₂.

The balanced chemical equation: H₂O₂ → H₂O + 1/2O₂.

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is decomposed into oxygen and water, which is a slow reaction.

It is can be catalyzed by using yeast.

The unbalanced chemical equation: H₂O₂ → H₂O + O₂.

The balanced chemical equation: H₂O₂ → H₂O + 1/2O₂.

1.0 mol of H₂O₂ is decomposed to 1.0 mol of H₂O and 0.5 mol of O₂.

It takes 495.0 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electron from an atom on the surface of sodium metal. How much energy does it ta

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$\lambda=241.9\ nm$

Explanation:

The work function of the sodium= 495.0 kJ/mol

It means that

1 mole of electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

Also,

1 mole = $6.023\times 10^{23}\ electrons$

So,

$6.023\times 10^{23}$ electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

1 electron can be removed by applying of $\frac {495.0}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\ kJ$ of energy.

Energy required = $82.18\times 10^{-23}\ kJ$

Also,

1 kJ = 1000 J

So,

Energy required = $82.18\times 10^{-20}\ J$

Also, $E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

So,

$79.78\times 10^{-20}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{82.18\times 10^{-20}}$

$\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-20}\times \:82.18}$

$\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^6\times \:82.18}$

$\lambda=2.4188\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Also,

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,

$\lambda=241.9\ nm$

An alloy with an average grain diameter of 35 μm has a yield strength of 163 Mpa, and when it undergoes strain hardening, the gr

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$\sigma_y\ =210.2\ MPa$

Explanation:

Given that

d= 35 μm ,yield strength = 163 MPa

d= 17 μm ,yield strength = 192 MPa

As we know that relationship between diameter and yield strength

$\sigma_y=\sigma_o+\dfrac{K}{\sqrt d}$

$\sigma_y\ =Yield\ strength$

d = diameter

K =Constant

$\sigma_o\ =material\ constant$

So now by putting the values

d= 35 μm ,yield strength = 163 MPa

$163=\sigma_o+\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 35}$ ------------1

d= 17 μm ,yield strength = 192 MPa

$192=\sigma_o+\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 17}$ ------------2

From equation 1 and 2

$192-163=\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 17}-\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 35}$

K=394.53

By putting the values of K in equation 1

$163=\sigma_o+\dfrac{394.53}{\sqrt 35}$

$\sigma_o\ =96.31\ MPa$

$\sigma_y=96.31+\dfrac{394.53}{\sqrt d}$

Now when d= 12 μm

$\sigma_y=96.31+\dfrac{394.53}{\sqrt 12}$

$\sigma_y\ =210.2\ MPa$

The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, C4H10. Butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. How

forsale [732]

Doesnt the number of carbon atoms stay the same.
Though the weight of carbon in 1.5g is 1.24g.

This is because the RAM of C4 is 48.

The RFM of C4H10 is 58. Therefore, 48/58 is carbon in butane.

48/58 x 1.5 = 1.24g
