<span>The filament of the light bulb will get very hot. This will encourage a chemical reaction with most gases that are surrounding that filament - and the result is that the filament burns out. If the filament is in air, it combines with the carbon of carbon dioxide in the air, and the filament disintegrates. But argon is an inert gas - almost nothing reacts with it. So the filament takes a very long time (theoretically infinity) to burn out. But the bulb cannot contain 100% argon: 99.9% is typical; the remaining 0.1% being air. The bulb manufacturers can control the 'life' of a bulb, based on that principle: they do not want their bulbs to last forever!</span>
Answer:
1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol M/s
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced reaction
2 Br⁻ ⇒ Br₂
Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio
The molar ratio of Br⁻ to Br₂ is 2:1.
Step 3: Calculate the rate of appearance of Br₂
The rate of disappearance of Br⁻ at some moment in time was determined to be 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M/s. The rate of appearance of Br₂ is:
3.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br⁻/L.s × (1 mol Br₂/2 mol Br⁻) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol Br₂/L.s
Answer:
Ionic
Explanation: Ionic compounds tend to be hard and brittle while covalent compounds tend to be softer and more flexible.
Hope this helped!
