The answer is; The mercury level first falls then begin to rise rapidly.

This is because even though glass is not a good thermal conductor, the great heat variation causes the glass to gather heat and expand first even before the mercury is reached by the heat. This increases the volume of the lumen of the glass hence causing the mercury level to drop as the volume of the glass increases.

however, as the heat reaches the mercury, it also begins to expand and the levels stop falling and begin to rise.

When 1.95 g of co(no3)2 is dissolved in 0.350 l of 0.220 m koh, what are [ co2+], [ co(oh)42−], and [ oh−] if kf of co(oh)42− =

Airida [17]

Mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 1.95 g
V KOH = 0.350 L
[KOH] = 0.220 M
Kf = 5.0 x 10⁹
molar mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 182.943 g/mol
so [Co(NO₃)₂] = 1.95 / (0.350 * 182.943) = 0.03045 M
[Co²⁺] = 0.03045 M
[OH⁻] = 0.22 M
chemical reaction:
Co²⁺(aq) + 4 OH⁻ ⇄ Co(OH)₄²⁻
I (M) 0.03045 0.22 0
C (M) - 0.03045 - 4 (0.03045) 0.03045
E (M) - x 0.22 - 4(0.03045) 0.03045
= 0.0982
Kf = [Co(OH)₄²⁻] / [Co⁺²][OH⁻]⁴
5.0 x 10⁹ = (0.03045) / x (0.0982)⁴
x = 6.5489 x 10⁻⁸
at equilibrium:
[Co²⁺] = 6.54 x 10⁻⁸
[OH⁻] = 0.0982 M
[Co(OH)₄²⁻] = 0.03045 M

A truck traveled at a constant speed for 6 hours. Then, it

gavmur [86]

Answer:

2.4 hrs

Explanation:

The constant speed of the truck for 6 hrs can be calculated by: speed=distance/time. Speed =(876-228)/6=648/6=108m/s. So the decreased speed = (108-13)=95m/h. Now, speed =distance /time We get 95m/h = 228/t. t=228/95 hrs = 2.4 hrs PLEASE MARK ME THE BRAINLIEST!!

Calculate the mass in 4.05*10^22 molecules of calcium phosphate

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

m = 20.9 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by recalling both the Avogadro's number for the calculation of the moles in the given molecules of calcium phosphate and the molar mass of this compound in order to secondly calculate the mass as shown on the following setup:

$m=4.05x10^{22}molecules*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}}*\frac{310.18g}{1mol}\\\\m=20.9g$

36g of an alloy of copper and zinc contains 45% copper. how much pure copper do you need to add in order to get a 60% copper all

iogann1982 [59]

First, you need to count copper mass in alloy.
Second, you have to make an equation an find x ( the copper mass must be added). The answer is: 13,5g pure copper
