You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar. Nonetheless, you obtain

9 quibs of substance called skvarnick. You can trade this skvarnick for gold coins, but the vendors all measure skvarnick in units of sleps; not quibs. 12 sleps is equal to 9 quibs. If you have 9 quibs of skvarnick, how many sleps do you have? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place). Type only the number; not the number and unit.

Answer: 12


Explanation.


This problem was recently posted and deals with the conversion of units,so I give the same answer.


You need to convert the 9 quibs of skvarnick to sleps, to determine how many sleps you have.


The conversion of units is easily undertaken once you build your conversion factors.


Conversion factors are ratios (fractions) equivalent to one, which permits use the identity property of the multiplication to change one unit to a different equivalent one.


Remember that the identity property of multiplication states that any amount multiplied by 1 remains unchanged, i.e.

               a.1=a

Then, build your conversion factor from the definitions given:

  •    12 sleps is equal to 9 quibs.
  •    12 sleps = 9 quibs
  •    in virtue of the division property of equality, you can divide both sides by 12 sleps and get:

                                       1 = 12 sleps /  9 quibs ← conversion factor

Now you can multiply the amount 9 quibs by the conversion factor, which is equal to 1, to find the equivalent amount of sleps:


  •    identity property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs × 1
  •    substitution property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs ×  12 sleps/  9 quibs

You can see that the unit quibs appear in the numerator and the denominator so it cancels out, and the result will be in sleps.


So, all you have to do now is the operations with the numbers:

       9 quibs = (9 ×  12 / 9) sleps = 12 sleps ← answer

In a 0.20 M solution, a weak acid is 3.0% dissociated.(a) Calculate the [H₃O⁺] , pH , [OH⁻], and pOH of the solution.
marin [14]

H₃O⁺ = 6.0×10^{-3}

OH = 1.7×10^{-12}

pH = 2.22

pOH = 11.78

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The term pH, which originally stood for "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Lower pH values are summarized for acidic solutions (solutions with higher H+ ion concentrations) than for basic or alkaline solutions.

The pH scale is inversely indicates to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and is logarithmic.

⇒pH = -log(a_{H+})

Acidic solutions are those with a pH below 7, and basic solutions are those with a pH above 7, at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). At this temperature, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral (e.g. pure water). The pH neutrality relies on temperature, falling below 7 if the temperature rises above 25 °C.

In the molecule ClF3, chlorine makes three covalent bonds. Therefore, three of its seven valence electrons need to be unpaired.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine has electronic configuration of 2 , 8 , 7

In n = 3 there are 7 electrons out of which 2 are in s , and 5 are in p . But out of 5 electrons in p , one electron jumps into d orbital . so the electronic configuration  becomes as follows

3s^23p_x^23p_y^23p_z^1  = 7

3s^23p_x^23p_y^13p_z^13d_{xy}^1

These orbitals like sp³d hybridise to form 7 degenerate orbitals out of which 2 orbitals contain electrons in pairs and rest three are singly occupied by electrons.( unpaired electrons )

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in Ca + Cl2 mc009-1.jpg CaCl2?
gregori [183]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) Synthesis

Explanation :

Synthesis reaction : A chemical reaction where multiple substances or reactants combine to form a single product.

It is represented as,

X+Y\rightarrow XY

Combustion reaction : A chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.

It is represented as,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Double replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange places to form two new products.

It is represented as,

XY+AB\rightarrow XB+AY

(X and A are the cations, Y and B are the anions)

The given reaction is, Ca+Cl_2\rightarrow CaCl_2

In this reaction, calcium combine with the chloride to form calcium chloride as a product.

Hence, the given type of reaction is a synthesis reaction.
