What might you expect to observe from this double-displacement reaction: CoCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) ---> CoSO4 + 2NaCl?

1 answer:

7 0

To decide the outcome of this reaction, we need to know the state of the products, as in if they are solid, liquid, gaseous, aqueous, etc. The proper reaction is as follows:

CoCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) → CoSO₄ (aq) + 2NaCl (aq)

If we were to look up the species CoSO₄ and NaCl, we would find that both of these species are also aqueous. Therefore, neither CoSO₄ or NaCl will precipitate from the solution, so we can ignore options A and B. Neither species formed is gaseous either, therefore, it cannot be option C. That leaves us with option D as the answer.

D is the correct answer because the product of the double displacement is the formation of two more aqueous species which will remain dissociated in the aqueous solution leading to no chemical reaction overall.

When iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192ir, 0.6 mm in diameter and 3.5 mm long, is surgica

Ivan

Iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192 Ir, 0.6 mm in diameter (0.3mm radius) and 3.5 mm long, is surgically inserted into the tumor. if the density of iridium is 22.42 g/cm3, how many iridium atoms are present in the sample?

Let us start by computing for the volume of the cylinder. V = π(r^2)*h where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively. Let's convert all given dimensions to cm first. Radius = 0.03 cm, height is 0.35cm long.

V = π * (0.03cm)^2 * 0.35 cm = 9.896*10^-4 cm^3

Now we have the volume of 192-Ir, let's use the density provided to get it's mass, and once we have the mass let's use the molar mass to get the amount of moles. After getting the amount of moles, we use Avogadro's number to convert moles into number of atoms. See the calculation below and see if all units "cancel":

9.896*10^-4 cm^3 * (22.42 g/cm3) * (1 mole / 191.963 g) * (6.022x10^23 atoms /mole)

= 6.96 x 10^19 atoms of Ir-122 are present.

What does Newton’s first law of motion state?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. ... If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest.
