Answer:

Chernobyl Accident 1986. The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind – some 5200 PBq (I-131 eq).

What is most likely the ph of a solution containing many hydroxide ions (oh-) and few hydrogen ions (h )?

SIZIF [17.4K]

PH of solution will be greater than seven (pH>7), that means that solution is basic (<span>pH above </span>7<span> is a base, the higher the number, the stronger is the base).
</span>pH (potential of hydrogenis) is a measure of the hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of a solution. <span>Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic.</span>

A 10-liter container has 2 moles of oxygen at a pressure of 92 kpa. The effective speed (rms) of the oxygen molecules in the gas

bezimeni [28]

The effective speed (rms) of the oxygen gas is 293.68 m/s.

<h3></h3><h3>What is Root-mean-square velocity?</h3>

Root mean square velocity is the square root of the mean of squares of the velocity of individual gas molecules

$v_{rms}=\sqrt[]{\frac{3RT}{M} }$

<em>where </em>R = universal gas constant

M = molar mass of the gas in kg/mol

T = temperature in Kelvin

According to the ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

RT = $\frac{PV}{n}$

Substitute in the rms velocity formula,

$v_{rms} = \sqrt[]{\frac{3PV}{nM} }$

P = 92 kPa, V = 10 L, n = 2 moles and M = 32 x 10⁻³ kg/mol

$v_{rms} = \sqrt[]{\frac{3\times92\times10}{2\times32\times10^-^3} }$

=293.68 m/s

Thus, the effective speed (rms) of O₂ gas is 293.68 m/s.

Find the final product for: Li + Br and show work.

miskamm [114]

Lithium is atomic number 3, so it has valency 1

While, Bromine is atomic number 35, and has valency 1

Lithium has an extra electron while Bromine need an electron, since they both need and have one electron, the form

LiBr (Lithium Bromide) where Li is +ve charged and Br is -ve charged
