A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.

1 answer:

8 0

If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

Answer:

MSDS -- Material Safety Data sheet

Explanation:

The full form of MSDS is Material Safety Data sheet. A Material Safety Data Sheet is a document which contains the information related to the potential hazards (fire or reactivity and environmental and health ) and includes how to work or use the chemical product safely.

It is regarded as an essential starting point for development of the complete health as well as safety program. MSDS also contains other information such as the use of the chemical, its storage and also handling and the emergency procedures that are related to the hazards of the material.

Which nuclear decay emission has the weakest penetrating power?

Romashka [77]

Alpha particle is the nuclear decay emission that has the weakest penetrating power. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "1". Gamma is a type of radiation and so can be negated as a particle. Alpha particles have the largest radiation and so the weakest penetrating power.

The shape (or geometry) of the amide anion, NH2-, the number of lone pairs on nitrogen, and the hybridization at nitrogen are, r

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) bent, 2, and $sp^3$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

The given molecule is, $NH_2^-$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [5+2+1]=4$

Number of bond pair = 2

Number of lone pair = 2

The total number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are 2 atoms around the central oxygen atom, the third and fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) bent, 2, and $sp^3$
