Answer:

(a). 0.0037 mol.

(b). 22.42 L

(c). => When the measuring apparatus are not precise.

=> Error due to parallax.

=> Random errors.

Explanation:

Without mincing words let us dive straight into the solution to the question above. So, we are given the following parameters or information which are going to aid in solving this particular Question;

Mass of magnesium given= 0.0795 g, volume of Hydrogen = 88.5 mL = 0.0885 L, temperature = 25 degree C = 273 + 25 = 298K and pressure = 766 mm Hg = 766/760 = 1.00789 atm.

(a). In order to determine the number of moles of Hydrogen atoms,we will be making use of the formula below;

Number of moles = (pressure × Volume)/ gas constant,R × Temperature.

Thus,the number of moles of Hydrogen = 1.00789 × 0.0885 / [( 0.08206 × 298] = 0.0037 mol.

(b). The molar volume at stp can be calculated by using the same formula that was used in (a) above;

Molar Volume at stp = Gas constant,R × temperature/ Pressure = 0.08206 × 273 / 1 atm = 22.42 L.

(c). The major sources of errors are given below:

=> When the measuring apparatus are not precise.

=> Error due to parallax.

=> Random errors.

Calculate the vapor pressure of water at T=90°C

LenKa [72]

The equilibrium vapour pressure is typically the pressure exerted by a liquid .... it is A FUNCTION of temperature...

Explanation:

By way of example, chemists and physicists habitually use

saturated vapour pressure

...where

SVP

is the vapour pressure exerted by liquid water. At

100

∘

SVP

⋅

. Why?

Well, because this is the normal boiling point of water: i.e. the conditions of pressure (i.e. here

⋅

) and temperature, here

100

∘

, at which the VAPOUR PRESSURE of the liquid is ONE ATMOSPHERE...and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. As an undergraduate you should commit this definition, or your text definition, to memory...

At lower temperatures, water exerts a much lower vapour pressure...but these should often be used in calculations...especially when a gas is collected by water displacement. Tables of

saturated vapour pressure

are available.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option E, Half life = $2.96\times 10^3\ s$

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = $2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}$

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s$

So, the correct option is option E.

Answer:

Insight

Explanation:

Insight is the understanding of a specific cause and effect within a specific context. The term insight can have several related meanings:

a piece of information
the act or result of understanding the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively (called noesis in Greek)
an introspection
the power of acute observation and deduction, discernment, and perception, called intellection or noesis
an understanding of cause and effect based on identification of relationships and behaviors within a model, context, or scenario (see artificial intelligence)

An insight that manifests itself suddenly, such as understanding how to solve a difficult problem, is sometimes called by the German word Aha-Erlebnis. The term was coined by the German psychologist and theoretical linguist Karl Bühler. It is also known as an epiphany, eureka moment or (for cross word solvers) the penny dropping moment (PDM). Sudden sickening realizations identifying a problem rather than solving it, so Uh-oh rather than Aha moments are further seen in negative insight. A further example of negative insight is chagrin which is annoyance at the obviousness of a solution missed up until the point of insight.

Represente lo que ocurre mediante flechas cuando dos cargas negativas, dos cargas positivas y una carga positiva y otra negativa

pochemuha

Answer:

Neutral.

Explicación:

Cuando dos cargas negativas, dos cargas positivas y una carga positiva y una carga negativa se unen, los átomos se vuelven neutrales porque las cargas opuestas cancelan el efecto de la otra. Si hay igual número de cargas y además son opuestas entre sí, entonces todas estas cargas cancelan el efecto de la otra formando el átomo neutral, pero si hay diferencia en el número de cargas, entonces la carga que es alta en número aparece en el átomos.
