Answer:

2C(s, graphite)+ 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)  

Explanation:

The thermodynamic standard state of elements and compounds is defined as their most stable state at 25 °C and 1 bar

The elements in ethanol, C₂H₅OH, are C, H, and O.

Their most stable states at standard conditions are C₂H₅OH(ℓ), C(s, graphite), H₂(g), and O₂(g)

The equation for the formation of ethanol from its elements is  then

2C(s, graphite) + 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)

In NMR if a chemical shift(δ) is 211.5 ppm from the tetramethylsilane (TMS) standard and the spectrometer frequency is 556 MHz,
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is: 11759 Hz

Explanation:

Given: Chemical shift: δ = 211.5 ppm, Spectrometer frequency = 556 MHz = 556 × 10⁶ Hz

In NMR spectroscopy, the chemical shift (δ), expressed in ppm, of a given nucleus is given by the equation:

\delta (ppm) = \frac{Observed\,frequency (Hz)}{Frequency\,\, of\,\,the\,Spectrometer (MHz)} \times 10^{6}

\therefore Observed\,frequency (Hz)= \frac{\delta (ppm)\times Frequency\,\, of\,\,the\,Spectrometer (MHz)}{10^{6}}

Observed\,frequency= \frac{211.5 ppm \times 556 \times 10^{6} Hz}{10^{6}} = 11759 Hz

<u>Therefore, the signal is at 11759 Hz from the TMS.</u>

What does surface tension mean?
Volgvan

Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane. This phenomenon can be observed in the nearly spherical shape of small drops of liquids and of soap bubbles. Because of this property, certain insects can stand on the surface of water.

1. In general, the nucleus of a small atom is stable. Therefore, over very short distances, such as those in a small nucleus,
postnew [5]
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
  • Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>

<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

b. change into a different element altogether.

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will  <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.

<h3><u> Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
  • <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
  • Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
