Lightning rods are mounted on top of tall structures to protect them during thunderstorms. If lightning strikes, it will hit the

rod and be directed to the ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure. What type of substance should be used to make a lightning rod, and why?

Here we have to point out the necessary character of the substance needed which are used as lightning conductor.  

The substance should have the following properties:

High electricity carrying capacity and less resistant.

High melting point

The substance should have high electricity carrying capacity or the resistance is less so that the electricity generated during the lightning easily conducted to the ground  

The substance should have high melting point so that during lightning the generated high temperature cannot disrupt the material.

2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) Assume that Kc = 0.0680 for the gas phase reaction above. Calculate the corresponding value of Kp for
son4ous [18]

Answer: The corresponding value of K_p for this reaction at 84.5°C is 0.00232

Explanation:

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

Relation of with is given by the formula:

K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}

where,

= equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = ?

K_c = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = 0.0680

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature  =84.5^0C=(273+84.5)K=357.5K

\Delta n_g = change in number of moles of gas particles = n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K_p=0.0680\times (0.0821\times 357.5)^{-1}\\\\K_p=0.00232

Thus the corresponding value of K_p for this reaction at 84.5°C is 0.00232

A 250 ml flask and stopper have a mass of 110.525 g. A 50 ml sample of gasoline is pipetted into the flask, giving a total mass
Arturiano [62]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

Density = mass of gasoline/ volume of gasoline = (1</span>46.770 g -110.525 g ) / <span>50 ml = 0.7249 g/mL</span>
