The carbon atom is uniquely suited to building large molecules primarily because of its valence electron count of 4 - which means it can bound up to 4 atoms (single bonds) simultaneously. Also, it has a relatively low molecular weight and the best part is that it forms covalent bonds (stable, high energy bonds) with other, non-metallic atoms.

Students conduct a lab in which they neutralize an acid. Which of the following
Marina86 [1]

The missing group of choices is as follows:

A. disassemble the equipment.

B. wash their hands.

C. record their observations.

D. clean the lab tables.

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. washing their hands.

Explanation:

Neutralization of an acid involves the reaction of the acid with a strong or week base ( on the basis of acid strength) which leads to the production of salt and water in aqueous solution.

Washing hand acid could be more dangerous as the acid reacts violently with water, however, after the neutralization of acid, there should be normal safety measures which are before leaving the lab one should wash their hand as chemicals used might be toxic or cause harmful effect to an individual.

Thus, the correct answer is - B. washing their hands.

A diffusion coefficient KG was determined for the diffusion of a gas A through a stagnant film B [KG = 0.88 mol//h-ft2-atm].
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

Transfer of mass A into stagnant film B depends on the availability of driving force.

Whereas driving force is the pressure difference at the surface of A and the bulk.

As,       N_{A} \propto (P_{A1} - P_{A2})

           N_{A} = K_{G} \times (P_{A1} - P_{A2})

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         N_{A} = K_{G} \times (P_{A1} - P_{A2})

                     = 0.88 \times (0.2 atm - 0.05 atm)

                     = 0.132 mol/h.ft^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the flux of A from a surface into a mixture of A and B is 0.132 mol/h.ft^{2}
