Answer:

solid

Explanation:

It is called an amorphous solid because it lacks the ordered molecular structure of true solids, and yet its irregular structure is too rigid for it to qualify as a liquid.

Answer:

Glass, however, is actually neither a liquid—supercooled or otherwise—nor a solid. It is an amorphous solid—a state somewhere between those two states of matter. And yet glass's liquidlike properties are not enough to explain the thicker-bottomed windows, because glass atoms move too slowly for changes to be visible.

Sodium-24 has a half life how much sodium-24 will remain in an 18 g sample after 75 hours

frutty [35]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{0.56 g}}$

Explanation:

The half-life of Na-24 (15 h) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.

We can construct a table as follows:

No. of Fraction Mass

<u>half-lives t/da Remaining Remaining/g </u>

0 0 1 18

1 15 ½ 9.0

2 30 ¼ 4.5

3 45 ⅛ 2.2

4 60 ⅟₁₆ 1.1

5 75 ⅟₃₂ 0.56

6 90 ⅟₆₄ 0.28

We see that $\boxed{\textbf{0.56 g}}$ remain after five half-lives (75 h).

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.

givi [52]

Answer:

According to their expected pKa values, the order of those acids should be:

1- Cl2CHCOOH is the strongest acid and the lowest pKa.

2- ClCH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the first. Medium pKa value.

3- ClCH2CH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the two previous acids. High pKa value.

4- CH3CH2COOH is the weakest acid, so the highest pKa value.

Explanation:

The pKa values are the negative logarithm of dissociation constant. It represents the relative strengths of the acids. Stronger acids show smaller pKa values and weak acids present larger pKa value. The stronger the acid, the weaker it's the conjugate base. The larger the pKa of the conjugate base, the stronger the acid. The strength of an acid is inversely related to the strength of its conjugate.

Conjugate bases are the substance that has one less proton than the parent acid. The conjugate base of the acid presented in the problem are:

ClCH2COOH -> ClCH2COO- + H+

ClCH2CH2COOH -> ClCH2CH2COO- + H+

CH3CH2COOH -> CH3CH2COO- + H+

Cl2CHCOOH -> Cl2CHCOO - + H+

Cl2CHCOOH. The negative charge presented on its conjugate base is by resonance and inductive effect. This is the strongest acid.

ClCH2COOH. A negative charge is stabilized by resonance and electron-withdrawing but only one atom is present. So this acid is less strong than the first one.

ClCH2CH2COOH. The negative charge is stabilized by resonance and electron-withdrawing atom but the effect is less compared to the two acids showed previously.

CH3CH2COOH. The negative charge is stabilized by resonance and destabilized due to CH3 group. This is the weakest acid among the problem.

Stronger acids have smaller pKa values and weak acids have larger pKa values. Due to the information present in this problem, Cl2CHCOOH is the strongest acid and the lowest pKa. CH3CH2COOH is the weakest acid, so the highest pKa value.

Finally, we can conclude that according to their expected pKa values, the order of those acids should be:

1- Cl2CHCOOH is the strongest acid and the lowest pKa.

2- ClCH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the first. Medium pKa value.

3- ClCH2CH2COOH is a strong acid, but no more than the two previous acids. High pKa value.

4- CH3CH2COOH is the weakest acid, so the highest pKa value.

What happens to iron oxide during decomposition

elena55 [62]

Answer:

it gets reduced from a +3 oxidation to a 0.

Explanation:

the decomposition of iron oxide to elemenTal can be represented by the following equation: iron oxide (Fe203), the oxidation state of iron is +3 while that of oxygen is -2. therefore, the above reaction is a redox (reduction oxidation reaction)

A sample of vinegar was found to have an acetic acid concentration of 0.8846 m. What is the acetic acid % by mass? Assume the de

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

5.3%

Explanation:

Let the volume be 1 L

volume , V = 1 L

use:

number of mol,

n = Molarity * Volume

= 0.8846*1

= 0.8846 mol

Molar mass of CH3COOH,

MM = 2*MM(C) + 4*MM(H) + 2*MM(O)

= 2*12.01 + 4*1.008 + 2*16.0

= 60.052 g/mol

use:

mass of CH3COOH,

m = number of mol * molar mass

= 0.8846 mol * 60.05 g/mol

= 53.12 g

volume of solution = 1 L = 1000 mL

density of solution = 1.00 g/mL

Use:

mass of solution = density * volume

= 1.00 g/mL * 1000 mL

= 1000 g

Now use:

mass % of acetic acid = mass of acetic acid * 100 / mass of solution

= 53.12 * 100 / 1000

= 5.312 %

≅ 5.3%
