Answer: 52.17%

Explanation:

Number of matches in the box = 46

Number of matches that lit on the first strike = 22

Number of matches that did not light on the first strike = 46 - 22 = 24

Therefore, the percentage of the matches in the box did not light on the first strike will be:

= (Number of matches that did not light on the first strike / Number of matches in the box) × 100

= 24/46 × 100

= 52.17%

Therefore, the percentage of the matches in the box that did not light on the first strike is 52.17%.

When a magnesium wire is dipped into a solution of lead (II) nitrate, a black deposit forms on the wire. Which of the following
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:The standard reduction potential, Eo , for Pb2+(aq) is greater than that for Mg2+(aq).

Explanation:

Metals are usually arranged in an order of reactivity called activity series. Metals that are high up in the series are good reducing agents with very low (very negative) reduction potentials. Metals with greater (less negative) reduction potentials are found lower in the series. In the image attached, elements were arranged according to their reducing ability. Magnesium is very electro positive hence it is a better reducing agent with a lesser standard reduction potential than lead(refer to the image for numerical values of standard reduction potentials). Hence it displaces lead from solution and the elemental lead deposits on the wire.

A carbon forms one bond to an X atom plus three more bonds to three hydrogen atoms. If the hybridization to X has 81% p-characte
liraira [26]

Answer:

110 degree

Explanation:

This is because Hybridization of an s orbital with all three p orbitals (px , py, and pz) results in four sp3 hybrid orbitals. sp3 hybrid orbitals are oriented at bond angle of 109.5 degrees from each other. This 109.5 degrees gives an arrangement of tetrahedral geometry

What pressure, in atm, would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91
Vikentia [17]

Answer:  A pressure of 0.681 atm would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O_2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91^{o}C.

Explanation:

Given : Mass of oxygen = 0.023 g

Volume = 31.6 mL

Convert mL into L as follows.

1 mL = 0.001 L\\31.6 mL = 31.6 mL \times \frac{0.001 L}{1 mL}\\= 0.0316 L

Temperature = 91^{o}C = (91 + 273) K = 364 K

As molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mol. Hence, the number of moles of O_2 are calculated as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{0.023 g}{32 g/mol}\\= 0.00072 mol

Using the ideal gas equation calculate the pressure exerted by given gas as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the value into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\P  \times 0.0316 L = 0.00072 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 364 K\\P = \frac{0.00072 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 364 K}{0.0316 L}\\= 0.681 atm

Thus, we can conclude that a pressure of 0.681 atm would be exerted by 0.023 grams of oxygen (O_2) if it occupies 31.6 mL at 91^{o}C.
