Answer:

Explanation:

To determine which element will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to make reference to the activity series or the electrochemical series. The activity series is a list of metallic ions according to their electropositivity.

This means elements are ranked here based on how electrically positive they are. Hence, an element above another element is relatively more electropositive than the one under it. For example calcium is less electropositive compared to sodium as calcium is found under sodium in the list.

Now, for an element to displace hydrogen, it means the particular element is more electropositive than hydrogen on the activity series. All the elements in the options are in a greater position relative to hydrogen on the activity series except silver. This means it cannot displace hydrogen from a dilute mineral acid

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is ________ M sodium ion and ________ M sulfate i

omeli [17]

Answer:

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L

The concentration sodium sulfate = 2.104 M

Step 2: The equation

Na2SO4 → 2Na+ + SO4^2-

For 1 mol Na2SO4 we have 2 moles sodium ion (Na+) and 1 mol sulfate ion (SO4^2-)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the ions

[Na+] = 2*2.104 M = 4.208 M

[SO4^2-] = 1*2.104 M = 2.104 M

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)

The true absorbance for a 1.0 x 10 −5 M solution is 0.7526. If the percentage stray light for a spectrophotometer is 0.56%, calc

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The percentage deviation is $\Delta M = 1.87$ %

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The concentration is of the solution is $C = 1.0*10^{-5} M$

The true absorbance A = 0.7526

The percentage of transmittance due to stray light $z = 0.56$ % $=\frac{0.56}{100} = 0.0056$

Generally Absorbance is mathematically represented as

$A = -log T$

Where T is the percentage of true transmittance

Substituting value

$0.7526 = - log T$

$T = 10^{-0.7526}$

$= 0.177$

$= 17.7$ %

The Apparent absorbance is mathematically represented

$A_p = -log (T +z)$

Substituting values

$A_p = -log(0.177 + 0.0056)$

$= -log(0.1826)$

= 0.7385

The percentage by which apparent absorbance deviates from known absorbance is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta A = \frac{A -A_p}{A} * \frac{100}{1}$

$= \frac{0.7526 - 0.7385}{0.7526} * \frac{100}{1}$

$\Delta A = 1.87$ %

Since Absorbance varies directly with concentration the percentage deviation of the apparent concentration from know concentration is

$\Delta M = 1.87$ %

A single atom of an element has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Which element is it?

scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

When identifying elements, you only need to look at the number of protons. Elements can have varying numbers of electrons and neutrons, but they can only have one number of protons.

Looking at the periodic table, the elements with 11 protons is sodium (Na).

Is heated water more or less dense than the melted snow And rainwater

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Heated water is more dense than melted snow because water as liquid is denser than ice. Ice floats on water, which means that it has less density than water. Heated water is warmer and more dense than melted ice.
