A 1-cubic-centimeter cube of sodium reacts more rapidly in water at 25°C than does a 1-cubic-centimeter cube of calcium at 25°C.

This difference in rate of reaction is most closely associated with the different

As given that the

a) temperature is same for both the metals

b) the volume of both the cubes is same (Same dimension)

The metals are sodium and calcium

Sodium has atomic number = 11

the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

It will attain noble gas configuration by easily losing one electron only

calcium has atomic number = 20

the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

It will attain noble gas configuration by donating two electrons so calcium is less reactive than sodium

hence the difference in the rate of reaction is most closely associated with the different nature of the metals

If the half-life of Carbon-14 is 5700 years, how many years would it take a sample to decay from 1 gram to 31.3 mg
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

28500 years

Explanation:

Applying,

A = A'(2^{x/y})............... Equation 1

Where A = Original mass of Carbon-14, A' = Final mass of carbon-14 after decaying, x = total time, y = half-life.

From the question,

Given: A = 1 g, A' = 31.3 mg = 0.0313 g, y = 5700 years.

Substitute these values into equation 1

1 = 0.0313(2^{x/5700})

2^{x/5700} = 1/0.0313

2^{x/5700}  = 31.95

2^{x/5700} ≈ 32

2^{x/5700} ≈ 2⁵

Equating the base and solve for x

x/5700 ≈ 5

x ≈ 5×5700

x ≈ 28500 years

Calculate the pH of the solution that results when 20 mL of 0.2M HCOOH is mixed with 25mL of 0.2M NaOH solution.(post-equivalenc
Paul [167]

The pH of the solution : 12

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

mol HCOOH =

\tt 20~ml\times 0.2~M=4~mlmol

mol NaOH =

\tt 25~ml\times 0.2~M=5~mlmol

Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]

ICE method :

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

4                          5

4                          4                     4                   4

0                          1                      1                    1

Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :

\tt \dfrac{1~mlmol}{20+25~ml}=0.02

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

pOH=-log 10⁻²=2

pH+pOH=14

pH=14-2=12

Toluene, c6h5ch3, is a liquid compound similar to benzene, c6h6. it is the starting material for other substances, including tri
babymother [125]
Toulene = 35.6 g 
Benzene = 125 g = 0.125 kg
 Molecular weight of Toluene C6H5CH3 = 92.1g/mol
 Moles of toulene = 35.6 g / 92.1 g/mol = 0.3865 mol

 Now the molarity of the toulene in the given solution = 0.3865 / 0.125 = 3.092 m 
 Molarity of C6H5CH3 = 3.092 m

Name diatonic elements
Volgvan
I assume you mean diatomic elements.
Those are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. They all exist in the form X_{2} (H_{2},  O_{2} ,  N_{2} ,  F_{2} ,  Cl_{2} ,  Br_{2} ,  I_{2}). Where they are all bonded to another one of themselves (a hydrogen atom binds to another hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom binds to another fluorine atom, etc.)
