Inquiring, which comes from the word inquiry which means, "an act of asking a question". In science, the first part of the scientific method is asking questions about the world around you and then after that, conducting experiments to get answers.

A sodium ion, Na+, with a charge of 1.6×10−19C and a chloride ion, Cl− , with charge of −1.6×10−19C, are separated by a distance

sasho [114]

Answer:

$W\geq 2.1x10^{-19}J$

Explanation:

Due to Coulomb´s law electric force can be described by the formula $F=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{r^{2}}$ , where K is the Coulomb´s constant ( $9x10^{9} N\frac{m^{2} }{C^{2} }$ ), $q_{1}$ = Charge 1 (Na+ in this case), $q_{2}$ is the charge 2 (Cl-) and r is the distance between both charges.

Work made by a force is W=F.d and total work produced is the change in energy between final and initial state. this is $W=W_{f} -W_{i}$ .

so we have $W=W_{f} -W_{i} =(K\frac{q_{(Na+)}q_{(Cl-)}rf}{r_{f} ^{2}})-(K\frac{q_{(Na+)}q_{(Cl-)}ri}{r_{i} ^{2}})=Kq_{(Na+)}q_{(Cl-)[\frac{1}{{r_{f}}} -\frac{1}{{r_{i}}}]$

Given that ri= 1.1nm= $1.1x10^{-9}m$ and rf= infinite distance

$W=(9x10^{9})(1.6x10^{-19})(-1.6x10^{-19})[\frac{1}{\alpha }-\frac{1}{(1.1x10^{-9})}]=2.1x10^{-19}J$

Based on the mole ratios, what can most likely be predicted?

omeli [17]

From mole ratios, the mass ratio of different elements can be predicted. Also the volume can be predicted based on density for liquids and ideal gas law equation for gases. From the mole ratios, the empirical formula can be predicted, as well as the molecular formula given another data which is mass of the sample.

When 6.040 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.95 grams of CO2 and 7.759 grams of H

algol [13]

Answer: The empirical formula is $CH_2$ and molecular formula is $C_4H_8$

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 18.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 7.759 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 18.59 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 18.59=5.07g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 7.759 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 7.759=0.862g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of C = 5.07 g

Mass of H = 0.862 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.07g}{12g/mole}=0.422moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.862g}{1g/mole}=0.862moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.422}{0.422}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.862}{0.422}=2$

The ratio of C : H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $CH_2$ .

The empirical weight of $CH_2$ = 1(12)+2(1)= 14 g.

The molecular weight = 56.1 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{56.1}{14}=4$

The molecular formula will be= $4\times CH_2=C_4H_8$

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed

Mariana [72]

It has to be understood that 2 moles of oxygen are there in each mole of PbO2. Then it has to be calculated for 2 moles of oxygen.

Amount of oxygen = 2 * 5.43 moles
= 10.86 moles
Now it is also a fact that each mole of H2O contains 1 mole of oxygen. Then it can be easily concluded that 10.86 moles of water will be produced. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
