The first step is to collect as many observations as possible about the problem you are trying to examine... if it could be proven wrong,then you have formed a hypothesis!

Gasoline has a density of 0.749 g/mL. There are 454 grams in a pound and 3.7854 litres in a gallon. How many pounds does 19.2 ga

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

119.9 pound

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of gasoline = 0.749 g/mL

Volume of gasoline = 19.2 gal (19.2× 37854 =72679.9 mL)

Mass = ?

Solution:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Now we will put the values in formula:

d = m/v

0.749 g/mL = m/ 72679.9 mL

m = 54437.25 g

gram to gallon:

54437.25/ 454

m = 119.9 pound

When an alkaline earth metal, a, reacts with a halogen, x, the formula of the covalent compund formed should be a2x?

Ierofanga [76]

Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.

Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra

Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.

Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At

When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.

When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.

For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}$ or $MgCl_{2}$

When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be $AX_{2}$

Determine the equilibrium constant, Keq, at 25°C for the reaction

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

$2Br^- (aq) + I_2(s) Br_2(l) + 2I^- (aq)$

$E^ocell=oxidation potential of anode + reduction potential of cathode\\$

The relation between Eo cell and Keq is shown below:

$deltaG=-RTlnK_e_q\\delta=-nFE^o cell\\=>nFE^o cell=RTlnK_e_q\\lnK_e_q=\frac{nF}{RT} E^o cell$

The value of Eo cell is:

Br- undergoes oxidation and I2 undergoes reduction.

Reduction takes place at cathode.

Oxidation takes place at anode.

Hence,

$E^ocell= (-1.07+0.53)V\\=-0.54V$

F=96485 C/mol

n=2 mol

R=8.314 J.K-1.mol-1

T=298K

Substitute all these values in the above formula:

$ln K_e_q=\frac{2mol* 96485 C/mol}{8.314 J.K^-^1.mol^-^1x298K} \\\\lnK_e_q=77.8\\K_e_q=e^7^7^.^8\\=>K_e_q=6.13x10^3^3$

Answer:

Keq=6.13x10^33

Unit processes in charge of smelting

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Smelting, process by which a metal is obtained, either as the element or as a simple compound, from its ore by heating beyond the melting point, ordinarily in the presence of oxidizing agents, such as air, or reducing agents, such as coke.
