Answer:

Training officers in how to properly collect evidence

Explanation:

Forensic science is an interesting branch of science that involves the use of scientific procedures to solve a crime case. It encompasses collection of physical evidence from the crime scene and analyzing it in a laboratory using scientific means.

A forensic scientist is the individual in charge of performing these scientific procedures. His/her major role is to run the scientific analysis of the physical evidence brought in by the officers, however, he/she can also perform the task of training officers in how to properly collect evidence, in order not to damage the evidence or render it invalid for use.

What do you think is the reason for an increasing atomic radius within one group?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

As you go down a group on the periodic table, you get more electron shells and therefore a larger atomic radius.

Be sure to answer all parts. one of the most important industrial sources of ethanol is the reaction of steam with ethene derive

lions [1.4K]

Answer: 2.17x10⁻³ atm

Explanation:

First, we must write the balanced chemical equation for the process:

C₂H₄(g) + H₂O(g) ⇌ C₂H₅OH(g)

The chemical reactions that occur in a closed container can reach a state of chemical equilibrium that is characterized because the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant over time. The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the value of its reaction quotient in chemical equilibrium.

The equilibrium constant (K) is expressed as the ratio between the molar concentrations (mol/L) of reactants and products. Its value in a chemical reaction depends on the temperature, so it must always be specified.

We will use the the equilibrium constant Kc of the reaction to calculate partial pressure of ethene. The constant Kc for the above reaction is,

Kc = $\frac{[C_{2} H_{5}OH]}{[H_{2}O][C_{2} H_{4}]}$

According to the law of ideal gases,

PV = nRT

where P, V, n and T are the pressure, volume, moles and temperature of the gas in question while R is the gas constant (0.082057 atm L / mol K) .

We can use the ideal gas law to determine the molar concentrations ([x] = n / V) from the gas pressures of ethanol and water, assuming that all gases involved behave as ideal gases. In this way,

PV = nRT → P = (n/V) RT → P = [x] RT → [x] = P / RT

So,

$[C_{2} H_{5}OH] = \frac{200 atm}{0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 600 K } = 4.06 \frac{mol}{L}$

$[H_{2}O] = \frac{400 atm}{0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 600 K } = 8.12 \frac{mol}{L}$

So, the molar concentration of ethene (C₂H₄) will be,

$[C_{2} H_{4}] = \frac{[C_{2} H_{5}OH]}{[H_{2}O] x Kc} = \frac{4.06 \frac{mol}{L} }{8.12 \frac{mol}{L}x9.00 x 10^{3} \frac{L}{mol} } = 5.56 x 10^{-5}\frac{mol}{L}$

Then, according to the law of ideal gases,

$P_{C_{2} H_{4}} = [C_{2} H_{4}]RT = 5.56 x 10^{-5} \frac{mol}{L} x 0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 600 K = 2.17x10^{-3} atm$

So, when the partial pressure of ethanol is 200 atm and the partial pressure of water is 400 atm, the partial pressure of ethene at 600 K is 2.17x10⁻³ atm.

Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. ... Therefore, carbon completes its octet by sharing its 4 electrons with other carbon atoms or with atoms of other elements and forms covalent bond. It forms strong covalent bonds because of its small size.
