Answer: colloid

Explanation:

Colloids are solutions in which small sized particles are suspended throughout the solution as they do not settle own their own. Colloids are defined as the mixtures where the size of the particle is within the range of 2nm to 1000 nm. In these mixtures, physical boundary is seen between the dispersed phase and dispersed medium.

Colloids are solutions with particle size intermediate between true solutions and suspensions. Suspensions have large sized particles which settle when left undisturbed for sometime and thus can be filtered off easily. The particle size in colloids is less and hence they do not settle under the effect of gravity.

Gaseous methane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. If 2.59 g of water is produc

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The percent yield of the water is 31.98 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For methane:

Given mass of methane = 6.58 g

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of methane}=\frac{6.58g}{16g/mol}=0.411mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 14.4 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{14.4g}{32g/mol}=0.45mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of methane

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45=0.225mol$ of methane

As, given amount of methane is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

2 moles of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 0.45 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.45=0.45$ moles of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.45 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.45mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.45mol\times 18g/mol)=8.1g$

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 2.59 g

Theoretical yield of water = 8.1 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{2.59g}{8.1g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=31.98\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 31.98 %

If a dog has a mass of 16.1 kg, what is its mass in the following units? Use scientific notation in all of your answers.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

$16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}$

$16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}$

$16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$

Explanation:

Mass of dog = $16.1\ \text{kg}$

$1\ \text{kg}=10^{3}\ \text{g}$

$1\ \text{kg}=10^{6}\ \text{mg}$

$1\ \text{kg}=10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$

So,

$16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}$

$16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}$

$16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$

Mass of the dog in the other units is $16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}$ , $16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}$ and $16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$ .

Carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay in the reaction above. Determine the type of radiation emitted in this reaction and descri

Drupady [299]

Answer: The beta-particle is being released in the reaction and the nucleus is changing from to nitrogen.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 undergoes a radioactive decay by the process of beta-minus decay.

In beta-minus decay, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.

The equation for the beta-minus decay of carbon-14 follows the reaction:

$_6^{14}\textrm{C}\rightarrow _7^{14}\textrm{N}+_{-1}^0\beta$

In this reaction beta-particle is being released carrying -1 charge. Another name for this particle is known as electron.

In this decay process, the nucleus is changing from carbon to nitrogen. The property of the nucleus is changing completely as number of protons is getting increased.
