Answer:

D. A federal government agency publishes an article in a professional scientific journal detailing technical details of a new virus.

Explanation:

Public scientific communication is a way used by scientists to make the audience able to understand the basics of science to communicate an informed decision. There are several skills under public scientific communication that include connect with the public, talk to journalists, make science understandable, and understand the audience.

<u>The best way to connect with the audience is to publish an article in a professional scientific journal because mostly journals are peer-reviewed having standard of quality.</u>

A federal government agency informing about a new virus through an article in a professional scientific journal is the best way of public scientific communication as it will be for a specific audience along with a standard of quality.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

A 1.25 g sample of aluminum is reacted with 3.28 g of copper (II) sulfate. What is the limiting reactant?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

d. Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 1.25 g

Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g

What is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Number of moles of CuSO₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

Al : Al₂ (SO₄)₃

2 : 1

0.05 : 1/2×0.05=0.025 mol

Al : Cu

2 : 3

0.05 : 3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol

CuSO₄ : Al₂ (SO₄)₃

3 : 1

0.02 : 1/3×0.02=0.007 mol

CuSO₄ : Cu

3 : 3

0.02 : 0.02

Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.

An ideal gas occupies a volume V at an absolute temperature T. If the volume is halved and the pressure kept constant, what will

Kruka [31]

Answer:

It will be halve of T

Explanation:

V1 = V

T1 = T

V2 = ½V

T2 = x

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V/T = ½V/x

Vx = ½VT

2Vx = VT

2x = T

x = ½T

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?

tekilochka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is: " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:

H₂ (g) ; that is: a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is: 1.00794 g ;

(From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of: H₂ (g) is:

" 1.00794 g * 2 = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So: " 5.7 L H₂ (g) $* \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;$

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ; since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

[5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4 = ? g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516 g ] / 22.4 =

0.53554248214 g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to: " 0.54 g " ;

→ since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;

22.4 is an exact number conversion;

and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

" 2.104588 " ; or: " 1.00794 " .

→ as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."
