Iodine has an electronegativity of 2.5, and potassium has an electronegativity of 0.8, so the difference is:
2.5 - 0.8 = 1.7
It converts the electrical entertainment into thermal energy, (heat energy) which heats the toast.
Answer:
<span>The mole concept is important in chemistry because, "</span>Atoms and molecules are very small and the mole concept allows us to count atoms and molecules by weighing macroscopic amounts of material".
Explanation:
To understand this question lets take an example of Hydrogen atom. Let suppose you need to react Hydrogen with Oxygen. You need exactly Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom to form one water molecule.
The mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.76 × 10⁻²⁴ grams. How will you count the Hydrogen atoms??? How can you measure exactly for 1 Million Hydrogen Atoms???
Answer to these questions and Calculations lies in Mole. It is found that 1 Mole of Hydrogen weights exactly 1.008 gram and contains 6.022 × 10²³ atoms. Now, having this reference in hand you can calculate for any number of Hydrogen atoms.
Result:
So the Mole helps us to zoom a microscopic level to a macroscopic level. :)
Answer:
0.0468 g.
Explanation:
- The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
- For a first-order reaction: k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).
Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.
t1/2 is the half-life time of the reaction (t1/2 = 1620 years).
∴ k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1620 years) = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.
- For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>
where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).
t is the time of the reaction (t = t1/2 x 8 = 1620 years x 8 = 12960 year).
a is the initial concentration (a = 12.0 g).
(a-x) is the remaining concentration.
∴ kt = lna/(a-x)
(4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(12960 year) = ln(12)/(a-x).
5.54688 = ln(12)/(a-x).
Taking e for the both sides:
256.34 = (12)/(a-x).
<em>∴ (a-x) = 12/256.34 = 0.0468 g.</em>
