Why is gunshot residue important for a forensic scientist? What are the potential complications with this type of evidence?

Chemistry

3 0

Answer:

Gunshot residue is important to forensic scientists because it can help measure the firing distance of a weapon, or if someone has fired a weapon lately based on what's on their hands. The potential complications of this evidence include it being uncertain if the residue is from another firing. This type of evidence can also be uncertain in a courtroom when firing distance is drawn into question.

Calculate the energy in joules and calories required to heat 50.0g silver from 106c to 255c. ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

use this fromula

q = m c ∆t

m  is mass of silver =50 g

∆t is difference in temperature= 255-106=149

C=  specific heat fo silver ( should be mentioned in your question )

The reaction between solid white phosphorous and oxygen produces solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide (P4010).
Alchen [17]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of phosphorus = 25.0 g

Mass of oxygen = 50.0 g

What is limiting reactant ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄   +  5O₂       →      P₄O₁₀

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 25.0 g/ 123.89 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.20 mol

Number of moles of  O₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50.0 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.56 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactants with product:

        P₄          :            P₄O₁₀

         1           :              1

      0.20       :          0.20

      O₂           :         P₄O₁₀

       5            :         1

     1.56         :        1/5×1.56 = 0.312 mol

Less number of moles of product are formed by the oxygen thus it will act as limiting reactant.

4Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Fe2O3 (s)
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

The number acquired by an element after the lose or gain of an electron is called oxidation number.

For example, 4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)

Here, oxidation number of Fe(s) is 0 and Fe in Fe_{2}O_{3} is +3.

Oxidation number of O in O_{2}(g) is 0 as it is present in its elemental state.

The oxidation number of O in Fe_{2}O_{3} is calculated as follows.

2(3) + 3x = 0\\6 + 3x = 0\\x = \frac{-6}{3}\\= -2

Hence,  oxidation number of O in Fe_{2}O_{3} is -2.

  • The loss of electrons by an element or substance is called oxidation. Here, electrons are being lost by Fe(s) as an increase in oxidation state is occurring. So, Fe(s) is oxidized.
  • The gain of electrons by an element or substance is called reduction. Here, electrons are being added to O_{2} as a decrease in its oxidation state is occurring. So, O_{2}  is reduced.
  • An element or compound which is being reduced is called oxidizing agent. Here, O_{2}  is the oxidizing agent.
  • An element or compound which is being oxidized is called reducing agent. Here, Fe(s) is the reducing agent.

Which statement is true about this reaction?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A) It is a practical source of energy on Earth.

Explanation:

The reaction shown is a nuclear fusion reaction. Nuclear fusion refers to the combination of two light nuclei to produce a heavier nuclei with a release of tremendous amount of energy. The energy released in a fusion reaction is so great and it is often difficult to achieve fusion reactions in a controlled nuclear reactor.

Fusion reactions just like the one shown is the source of energy on earth. The energy reaching the earth is obtained by fusion reactions in outer space.
