As the Earth formed, naturally occurring radioactive material _____________.

2 answers:

6 0

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (also known as NORM) are a wide range of radioactive isotopes that include elements such as carbon 14 and potassium 40, both of which are in the human body. But the main radioactive elements involved in oil and gas production are those found throughout Earth's crust. These elements include uranium and thorium and their respective byproducts, including radon gas.

How many moles are in .5g of sodium bromide?

3241004551 [841]

Answer: 4.86 x 10⁻³ mole.

Explanation:

The number of moles can be calculated using the relation; n = mass / molar mass.

n is the number of moles, mass is the mass of the substance in g (m = 0.5 g), and molar mass of NaBr = 102.894 g/mole.

n = mass / molar mass = (0.5 g) / (102.894 g/mole) = 4.86 x 10⁻³ mole.

At a certain temperature the equilibrium constant, Kc, equals 0.11 for the reaction:

Butoxors [25]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of ICl is 0.27 M

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial moles of iodine gas = 0.45 moles

Initial moles of chlorine gas = 0.45 moles

Volume of the flask = 2.0 L

The molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

Initial concentration of iodine gas = $\frac{0.45}{2}=0.225M$

Initial concentration of chlorine gas = $\frac{0.45}{2}=0.225M$

For the given chemical equation:

$2ICl(g)\rightarrow I_2(g)+Cl_2(g);K_c=0.11$

As, the initial moles of iodine and chlorine are given. So, the reaction will proceed backwards.

The chemical equation becomes:

$I_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ICl(g);K_c=\frac{1}{0.11}=9.091$

Initial: 0.225 0.225

At eqllm: 0.225-x 0.225-x 2x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[ICl]^2}{[Cl_2][I_2]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$9.091=\frac{(2x)^2}{(0.225-x)\times (0.225-x)}\\\\x=0.135,0.668$

Neglecting the value of x = 0.668 because equilibrium concentration cannot be greater than the initial concentration

So, equilibrium concentration of ICl = 2x = (2 × 0.135) = 0.27 M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 0.27 M

Which Ions oxidize aluminum? Li^+, Ca^2+, Ag+, Sn^2+

pishuonlain [190]

Aluminum can be oxidized by $Li^{+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$

<h3>What is oxidizing?</h3>

Some of the metal corrodes (or oxidizes) and forms the corresponding metal oxide on the surface as a result of a chemical reaction between the metal surface and the oxygen in the air. The corrosion products that occur in some metals, like steel, are highly apparent and loose.

According to reactivity series (The array of metals in the descending order of their reactivities is referred to as the metals' reactivity series. It is sometimes referred to as the metals in the activity series.)

Lithium and calcium ions are more reactive than aluminum ion and they are less electronegative.

Since silver and tin are more electronegative than aluminum so, they cannot oxidize aluminum.

∴ $Li^{+}$ and $Ca^{+2}$ ions can oxidize aluminum.

Which gas law (choices are Charles' Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, or Boyle's Law) explains each scenario:

Sedaia [141]

Explanation:

Air bags help lessen injuries in an automobile crash is application of Boyle's law:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the volume of given mass of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure changes.

According to this law, the volume of the air bag will increase. The bag will become bigger as a result of decrease in the gas pressure in the bag.

The bag was packed with gases under high pressure and their volume decreases appreciably. After a collision, pressure reduces and the gas expands.

helium balloon decreases in size when you put it into a freezer

A can of spray paint will explode if tossed into a fire

Both are application of Charles's law:

According to this law "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies directly as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant".

The helium balloon decreases in size because the temperature is lowered. The particles will keep tending towards a state of rest.

A can spray paint explodes because the gas in it will keep expanding as the temperature increases in a fire.
