Answer:
The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive
Explanation:
Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.
Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.
Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.
Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16
Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.
If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8
The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.
Answer:
Around 450 B.C.
Explanation:
The idea was forgotten until the 1800 when John Dalton re-introduced the atom.
Answer:
Explanation:
The usefulness of a buffer is its ability to resist changes in pH when small quantities of base or acid are added to it. This ability is the consequence of having both the conjugate base and the weak acid present in solution which will consume the added base or acid.
This capacity is lost if the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of weak acid differ by an order of magnitude. Since buffers having ratios differing by more will have their pH driven by either the weak acid or its conjugate base .
From the Henderson-Hasselbach equation we have that
pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]
thus
0.1 ≤ [A⁻]/[HA] ≤ 10
Therefore the log of this range is -1 to 1, and the pH will have a useful range of within +/- 1 the pKa of the buffer.
Now we are equipped to answer our question:
pH range = 3.9 +/- 1 = 2.9 through 4.9
