Answer:

An inert gas is one that does not undergo chemical reactions

Noble gases refers to the right most group of the periodic table composed of helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. As you might have seen as an example in class, some noble gases can form chemical compounds, such as XeF4.

or to say:

Halogens and noble gases are two different groups of elements that can be seen on the periodic table. Halogens are found in group 17 and include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. Noble gases make up group 18, and include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.

The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.

Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

$V\propto T$ (at constant Pressure)

The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.

When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Rock layer and sandwich layer is almost the same.

Why are rock layers are like sandwiches?

This geologic structure is called an anticline. Now gently bend your sandwich so that the layers are bowed downwards, thus creating a syncline. The presence of anticlines and synclines indicate strong forces that often form mountain ranges.

Which of the following is an example of a Lewis acid?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

C. BF3

Explanation:

The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid.

What is meant by the limiting reactant why is it necessary to identify the limiting reactant when you want to know what?

WARRIOR [948]

You have the reactants who react to make your products.

Reactants --------> Products

The limiting reactant is the reactant that will RUN OUT FIRST and that will establish the maximum amount of product that will be produced.

To make an example, let's look at this equation and at the following question:

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2

When 6.0 mol Al react with 13 mol HCl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of H2 can be formed?

We know that 2Al + 6HCL are the reactants, right?

These 2 reactants will react to create an amount of a certain product in this case they're asking us for the amount of H2 that will be produced. Therefore, we need to find the REACTANT it can be either AL OR HCL.

But, how do we know which one is the limiting reactant?

To know which one is the limiting reactant we need to know HOW MUCH H2 can Al produce, and also how much H2 can HCL produce. Why?

It's simple, because if you find the one that produces the less amount of H2, you know immediately that's the maximum amount of that product that will be produced.

Let's say you have a sandwich that needs to be made with 2 slices of bread, 3 meats and 1 cheese.

But you have got 4 slices of bread, 9 slices of meat, and 5 slices of cheese.

Well, you could make 2 sandwiches with 4 slices of bread, 3 sandwiches with those 9 slices of meat and 5 sandwiches with the 5 slices of cheese.

But, in reality, you can only make 2 sandwiches because you don't have any more bread to produce more sandwiches. You get it? That is the point of limiting reactants, to find what is the actual amount that can be produced.

Coming back to our equation, we can find the number of moles of H2 produced by each one of the reactants, Al and HCl. I'll find the number of moles quickly to show you what the concept of limiting reactant is.

6.0mol Al x 3 mol H2/2 mol Al = 9 mol H2

13 mol HCL x 3 mol H2/6 mol HCL = 6.5 mol H2

As you can see, 6.5 mol of H2 is the maximum that can be produced by the HCL and is less than the Al, so that maximum amount that you will get in the product H2 is no more than 6.5.

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) a0 was 46.2 grams

b) It will take 259 years

c) The fossil is 1845 years old

Explanation:

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?

A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)

⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams

⇒ A0 = the original amount

⇒ t = time = 8 hours

⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours

46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)

Ao = 261.35 grams

Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?

t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years

It will take 259 years

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?

t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845

The fossil is 1845 years old
