Marie curie worked as a governess and she was awarded noble prize for her discoveries.

Explanation:

When Marie curie worked as a governess for three years her employer allowed her to teach reading to the children of peasant workers at his beet sugar factory. This was banned under Russian rule. During that time she studied chemistry lessons from her father by mail.

Marie curie was awarded the Noble prize in chemistry for her discoveries and studies of elements radium and polonium. She is the only women who is awarded the Noble prize twice.

She made her first research into the treatment of tumors with radiation and founded a Curie institutes, that are important medical research centers.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 24.42 % calcium, 17.07 % nitrogen, and 58.5% oxygen?

REY [17]

Answer:

$CaN_{2} O_{6}$

Explanation:

When calculating an empirical formula from percentages, assume you have a 100g sample. This allows you to convert the percentages directly to grams, because X % of 100g is X grams.

So:

24.42 % = 24.42 g Ca, 17.07% = 17.07g N, 58.5% = 58.5g O

The next step is to divide each mass by their molar mass to convert your grams to moles.

24.42/40.08 = 0.6092 mol

17.07/14.01 = 1.218 mol

58.85/15.99 = 3.680 mol

Then you will divide all of your mol values by the SMALLEST number of moles. This gives you whole numbers that are the mole ratio (subcripts) of the empircal formula.

0.6092 mol/0.6092 mol = 1

1.218 mol/0.6092 mol = 2

3.680 mol/0.6092 mol = 6

So the empirical formula is $CaN_{2} O_{6}$

Is it possible to transfer heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir?

tankabanditka [31]

Answer is: B.) Yes, if work is done, this transfer process can take place.

For example, air conditioner involves a cyclic process that transfers heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir, but with use of electricity.

Thermal conductuction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by microscopic collisions of particles. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body.

The process of heat conduction depends on four basic factors: the temperature gradient, the cross section of the materials involved, their path length and the properties of those materials.

What is the [OH-] of a substance that has a pH of 11?

Deffense [45]

Answer:

0.001 M OH-

Explanation:

[OH-] = 10^-pOH, so

pOH + pH = 14 and 14 - pH = pOH

14 - 11 = 3

[OH⁻] = 10⁻³ ; [OH-] = 0.001 M OH-
