Answer:

Sodium acetate (CH₃COONa)

Explanation:

A salt will give basic solution on dissolving in water it is a salt of strong base and weak acid.

A salt will give an acidic solution on dissolving in water if it is a salt of strong acid and weak base.

A salt will give neutral solution if it is a salt of acid and base of almost equal strength or dissociation.

Out of given salts

K₂SO₄ : it is a salt of strong base KOH and strong acid H₂SO₄.: neutral

Cu₂SO₄: it is a salt of weak base [Cu(OH)₂] and strong acid H₂SO₄: pH less than 7.

NH₄Cl : it is a salt of weak base [NH₄OH] and strong acid HCl: pH less than 7.

CH₃COONa: it is a salt of strong base [NaOH] and weak acid CH₃COOH:

pH more than 7.

Match the statements with the atmospheric layer they describe.

vekshin1

The correct matches are:

1. Exosphere - Temperatures reach as high as 2000 C yet it feels very cold

This is the top layer of the atmosphere. The atoms are so dispersed that despite it having very high temperature it doesn't feel like it at all.

2. Thermosphere - Particles that have enough energy can escape into space

The thermosphere is the fourth highest layer of the atmosphere. The atoms in this layer are relatively distant from one another, so the particles that have enough energy manage to escape easily into the exosphere and then the space.

3. Mesosphere - It is the coldest region of the atmosphere

The mesosphere is the third highest layer. In this layer the temperatures constantly drop, and they go down to -85 degrees, making it the coldest layer by far.

4. Stratosphere - Ninety percent ozone is in this layer

The startosphere has a separte zone in it which is dominated by only one gas, the ozone. It is called the ozone layer, the one that protects the Earth from too intense UV radiation, and in fact over 90% of this gas is locate here.

5. Troposphere - It is warm due to the heat from Earth's surface

The troposphere is the densest and lowest of the layers. It is the one that also has Greenhouse gases which manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the Earth, thus keeping this layer relatively warm.

Answer:

Average of measurements = 20.97 cm

Explanation:

Given data:

Three measurements of pete's = 20.9 cm, 21.0 cm, 21.0 cm.

Average value of measurements = ?

Formula:

Average of measurements = sum of all measurements / Total number of measurements

Solution:

Average of measurements = 20.9 cm + 21.0 cm + 21.0 cm. / 3

Average of measurements = 62.9 cm / 3

Average of measurements = 20.97 cm

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which it is formed. a. cations are much small

koban [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.

A 200.0mL closed flask contains 2.000mol of carbon monoxide gas and 2.000mol of oxygen gas at the temperature of 300.0K. How man

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

There will react 0.400 moles of oxygen.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the closed flask = 200.00 mL = 0.2 L

Number of moles of CO = 2.000 mol

Number of moles of O2 = 2.000 mol

Temperature = 300.0 K

Pressure decreases with 10%

<u>Step 2</u>: The balanced equation

2CO(g)+O2(g)⟶2CO2(g)

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate the initial pressure of the flask before the reaction

P = nRT/V

⇒ with n = the number of moles (2.000 moles CO + 2.000 moles O2 = 4.000 moles)

⇒ R is gas constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)

⇒T = the temperature = 300.0K

⇒ V = the volume = 200.0 mL = 0.2 L

P = (4 * 0.08206*300)/0.2

P = 492.36 atm

<u>Step 4:</u> When the pressure is 10 % decreased:

The final pressure = 492.36 - 49.236 = 443.124 atm

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate the number of moles

n = PV/RT

⇒ with n = the number of moles

⇒ with P = the pressure = 443.124 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 200.0 mL = 0.2 L

⇒ R is gas constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)

⇒T = the temperature = 300.0K

n =(443.124*0.2)/(0.08206*300)

n = 3.6 moles = total number of moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate number of moles

For the reaction :2CO(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2CO₂(g)

For each mole of O2 we have 2 moles of CO, to produce 2 moles of CO2

Moles CO = (2 -2X) moles

Moles O2 = (2-X) moles

Moles CO2 = 2X

The total number of moles (4 -X)= 3.6 moles

Where X are moles that react

X = 0.400 moles

There will react 0.400 moles of oxygen.
