Answer:

The question is partially wrong. For spills of strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide, it must be neutralized with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Otherwise, for acid spills, neutralize them with sodium bicarbonate. The reactions are as follows:

Base spills: H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide forming sodium sulfate and water.

Acid spills: H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate forming sodium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

For the destruction of strong inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) they must be neutralized with a dilute solution of sulfuric acid or a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.

For the destruction of strong inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, they must be neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

NAHCO3 <span>doesn't help basic spills. It's slightly basic itself. It's good for acid spills though. It's not a very strong base so any leftover NaHCO3 won't be a hazard.
I DONT KNOW about h2so4</span>

Using the Bohr model, determine the energy in joules of the photon produced when an electron in a Li2+ ion moves from the orbit
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.

When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:

E = hc/λ

Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

The wavelength can be calculated by:

1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)

Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:

1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)

1/λ = 8.227x10⁶

λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m

So, the energy is:

E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)

E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

A patient arrives in the emergency with a burn caused by steam. Calculate the heat that released when 17.7 g of steam
MaRussiya [10]

The steam releases 39.9 kJ when it condenses..

The steam condenses and transfers its energy to the skin.

<em>q = m</em>Δ<em>H</em>_cond = 17.7 g × (-2257 J/1 g) = -39 900 kJ = -39.9 kJ

The negative sign shows that the steam is releasing energy

Reika [66]

Answer:

7. 3–ethyl–6 –methyldecane

8. 5–ethyl–2,2–dimethyl–4–propyl–4 –heptene

Explanation:

It is important to note that when naming organic compounds having two or more different substituent groups, we simply name them alphabetically.

The name of the compound given in the question above can be written as follow:

7. Obtaining the name of the compound.

Compound contains:

I. Decane.

II. 3–ethyl.

III. 6 –methyl.

Naming alphabetically, we have

3–ethyl–6 –methyldecane

8. Obtaining the name of the compound.

Compound contains:

I. 2,2–dimethyl.

II. 4–propyl.

III. 4 –heptene.

IV. 5–ethyl.

Naming alphabetically, we have

5–ethyl–2,2–dimethyl–4–propyl–4 –heptene
