A small amount of a solid is added to water. The observation made after fifteen minutes is shown in the figure. Which of these s

natulia [17]

Answer:

B) sand

Explanation:

A) Oil is a wrong choice because it is a liquid not a solid and also if it is oil, it will float over the water surface as a droplets.

B) Sand is the right choice, because sand is a solid and it does not dissolve in water and stabilizes at the bottom.

C) Sugar is a wrong choice, because small amount of sugar will dissolve in water and be a homogeneous solution and does not appear as a particles.

D) Wood ships is also a wrong choice, even it is a solid and does not dissolve in water, but it will float over the water surface.

A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Explanation:

Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = $40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours$

The concentration of xylene in the workplace = $40 \mu g/m^3$

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of $0.9 m^3/hr$ .

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= $40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr$

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

$36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg$

1 μg = 0.001 mg

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg

1 day = 24 hours

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:

$\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg$

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

$\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day$

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Am I correct ! Please tell me. If not then pls correct ! Thanks

Cu + 2H2SO4 ⟶ CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H20

In left hand side of the equation.

Cu = 1 atom

H = 4 atoms

S = 2 atoms

O = 8 atoms

In right hand side of the equation.

Cu = 1 atom

S = 2 atoms

0 = 8 atoms

H = 4 atoms

• All the atoms are balanced in the left and right side of the equation and it satisfies the law of conservation of mass.

• Equation is balanced and correct.

How many grams of CO₂ can be produced from the combustion of 2.76 moles of butane according to this equation: 2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂

Vilka [71]

Answer:

485.76 g of CO₂ can be made by this combustion

Explanation:

Combustion reaction:

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (g)

If we only have the amount of butane, we assume the oxygen is the excess reagent.

Ratio is 2:8. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore, 2.76 moles of butane must produce (2.76 . 8)/ 2 = 11.04 moles of CO₂

We convert the moles to mass → 11.04 mol . 44g / 1 mol = 485.76 g
