So let's use some equations to represent the data [let R= cost of ring & B= cost of bracelet]

R= B + $ 36 .... (1)

B= \frac{4}{7} × R ... (2)

By using simultaneous equations to solve for B and R.
Substitute eq. (1) into eq. (2)

      B =  \frac{4}{7} × (B + $36)

      B = \frac{4}{7}B + \frac{144}{7}

     ( \frac{7}{7}  -  \frac{4}{7} ) B =  \frac{144}{7}

     \frac{3}{7} B =   \frac{144}{7}

⇒  B = $48

By substituting value of B into ea (1)

If R = B + $36
   
   R = ($48) + $36
     
      = $84

∴  <span> the total of the two items = R + B
                                             = $84 + $48
</span>                                             = $132

If a volume of gas 177.6mL was collected at a temperature of 25.8C and the pressure is 799.7 torr, what is the original concentr
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The original concentration of the acid was 0.605 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of gas = 177.6 mL = 0.1176 L

Temperature = 25.8 °C = 298.95 K

Pressure = 799.7 torr = 799.7/ 760 = 1.0522368 atm

Volume of acid needed to react = 12.6 mL = 0.0126 L

Step 2: Calculate moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with p = the pressure of the gas = 799.7 torr = 1.0522368 atm

⇒with V = the volume of the gas = 177.6 mL = 0.1776 L

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 25.8 °C = 298.95 K

n = 0.007618 moles

Step 3: Calculate original concentration

We need 0.007618 moles of acid to react with the same amount of moles gas

Concentration acid = moles / volume

Concentration acid = 0.007618 moles / 0.0126 L

Concentration acid = 0.605 M

The original concentration of the acid was 0.605 M

Use water as an example to contrast the properties of a compound with the elements from which it is composed
ahrayia [7]
Properties of a compound is completely different from their elements.

Water is composed by hydrogen and oxygen.

For example, the boiling point of oxygen is - 183 °C and hydrogen is - 253 °C, meanwhile, water has a boiling point of 100°C

Another example is when you put a burning wooden splint into oxygen, it burns more brightly. Put it in hydrogen, you may hear a "pop" sound, or even explode when large amount of hydrogen. But if u put a burning splint in water, it goes off.

I NEED ANSWER PLEEEAASSEE!!!
emmasim [6.3K]
The answer is B. This is because Sodium has 1 valence electron and Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. All elements want 8 valence electrons so they may be stale, like the noble gases are. Hope this helps.

How many g of MgCO3(s) are needed to make 1.2 L of 1.5 M MgCl2(aq) solution?
maw [93]
Molar mass of MgCO3 is 84.313 g/mol
You can calculate this from data on the periodic table:
Molar mass Mg = 24.305g/mol
molar mass C = 12.011g/mol
molar mass O = 15.999g/mol mass 3 mol = 47.997g
Total = 84.313g/mol

Mass to be used in 1.2L of 1.5M solution = 84.313g * 1.2L * 1.5mol /L = 151.763g
I have not taken significant figures into account
The balanced equation you provide is not necessary in this calculation

Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.
