<h3>Answer:</h3>

                    It is fat-soluble

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         The cheeseburger grease adhered to cloths can not be washed by simple rinsing it with water. This is because of the fact that "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>". As grease is non-polar in nature therefore it will show no interaction with water because water is polar in nature. Hence, in order to make interactions of grease we must add some sort of non polar solvent like Tetrachloroethylene (C₂Cl₄). Now, both being non-polar in nature will interact, make attractions and grease will happily leave with Tetrachloroethylene leaving the cloth clean again.

<h3>Remember:</h3>

                   Tetrachloroethylene is non polar because the four chlorine atoms about the double bond cancel out each others effect making the dipole moment zero hence, the overall molecule becomes non-polar.

According to de Broglie, which of these objects does not have a wavelength?
polet [3.4K]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Explanation: Equation given by de Broglie is:

\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}

where, \lambda = wavelength of the particle

h = Planck's constant

m = mass of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

In option A, football will have some mass and is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s, hence it will have some wavelength.

In Option B, unladen swallow also have some mass and is moving with a velocity of 38 km/hr, hence it will also have some wavelength.

In Option C, a person has some mass and is running with a velocity of 7 m/hr, hence it will also have some wavelength.

As, the momentum of these particles are large, therefore the wavelength will be of small magnitude and hence, is not observable.

From the above, it is clearly visible that all the options are having some wavelength, so option D is correct.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

9.2

Explanation:

Let's do an equilibrium chart of this reaction:

2NO(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO₂(g)

4.9 atm    5.1 atm    0       Initial

-2x             -x           +2x    Reacts (stoichiometry is 2:1:2)

4.9-2x      5.1-x        2x      Equilibrium

The mole fraction of NO₂ (y) can be calculated by the Raoult's law, that states that the mole fraction is the partial pressure divided by the total pressure:

y = 2x/(4.9 - 2x + 5.1 -x + 2x)

0.52 = 2x/(10 - x)

2x = 5.2 -0.52x

2.52x = 5.2

x = 2.06 atm

Thus, the partial pressure at equilibrium are:

pNO = 4.9 -2*2.06 = 0.78 atm

pO₂ = 5.1 - 2.06 = 3.04 atm

pNO₂ = 2*2.06 = 4.12 atm

Thus, the pressure equilibrium constant Kp is:

Kp = [(pNO₂)²]/[(pNO)²*(pO₂)]

Kp = [(4.12)²]/[(0.78)²*3.04]

Kp = [16.9744]/[1.849536]

Kp = 9.2

Herbivores only eat plants . Remember HERBS are PLANTS.

Carnivores only eat meat. Remember CARNE = MEAT in Spanish.

Omnivores eat MEAT & PLANTS.

Explanation:

Differences are what they eat, similarities omnivores eat both.

We have 1700 Tonnes of Amoniac every day. How many tonnes of 63% Nitrogen soda we can get?
V125BC [204]
There are 3 equations involved in manufacturing Nitric Acid from Ammonia. 

First the ammonia is oxidized:
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O

Then for the absorption of the nitrogen oxides.
2NO + O2 = N2O4

Lastly, the N2O4 is further oxidized into Nitric acid.
3N2O4 + 2H2O = 4HNO3 + 2NO

Then run stoichiometry through these equations.
The first equation produces roughly 271,722,938 grams of NO
The second equation produces roughly 416,606,944 grams of N2O4
The last equation produces roughly 380,412,294 grams of HNO3 (nitric acid)

Convert the exact number back into tons, and your answer is: 419.332775 tons.

Rounded, I'm going to say that's 419.33 tons.
Hope this helps! :)

Also, it seems that commercially, Nitric Acid is commonly made by bubbling NO2 into water, rather than using ammonia.
