6 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The duration of flushing the eyes at the eyewash station in case of accidental contact with chemicals depends of the nature of the chemical.</em>

If the chemical is known to be a <u>non-irritant or mild-irritant</u> one, a <u>5-minute </u>washing time is recommended as the first aid. before seeking the help of a physician,

For <u>moderate to severe irritant</u> chemicals, an immediate <u>15-20 minutes</u> washing period is recommended before seeking further medical help.

For <u>corrosive and strong alkalis</u> chemicals, <u>30 and 60 minutes</u> washing are recommended respectively before seeking the attention of a physician.

However, if the nature of the chemical is unknown,<u> a minimum of 20-minutes washing is generally recommended</u> as first aid before seeking immediate medical help.

A scientist prepared an aqueous solution of a 0.45 M weak acid. The pH of the solution was 2.72. What is the percentage ionizati
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

0.42%

Explanation:

<em>∵ pH = - log[H⁺].</em>

2.72 = - log[H⁺]

∴ [H⁺] = 1.905 x 10⁻³.

<em>∵ [H⁺] = √Ka.C</em>

∴ [H⁺]² = Ka.C

∴ ka = [H⁺]²/C = (1.905 x 10⁻³)²/(0.45) = 8.068 x 10⁻⁶.

<em>∵ Ka = α²C.</em>

Where, α is the degree of dissociation.

<em>∴ α = √(Ka/C) </em>= √(8.065 x 10⁻⁶/0.45) = <em>4.234 x 10⁻³.</em>

<em>∴ percentage ionization of the acid = α x 100</em> = (4.233 x 10⁻³)(100) = <em>0.4233% ≅ 0.42%.</em>

Which of the following groups in the periodic
Dimas [21]

Elements of Group 1 and  group 2  in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are  never found in the free state

<u>Explanation</u>:

The metals in group 1 of  periodic table consisting of 'alkali metals' which include lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, Francium and caesium. They are highly reactive because they have low ionisation energy and larger radius. The group 2 metals consist of 'alkaline earth metals' which include calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, radium and magnesium.  These alkaline earth metal have +2 oxidation number, hence are highly reactive.

These both group metals are mostly reactive and so are never found in a free state. When they are exposed to air they would immediately react with oxygen. Hence, are stored in oils to avoid oxidation.

Feliz [49]
Formula for density is mass / volume.

100 ml is volume. 76.5g of cooking oil is
the mass.

Therefore

76.5/100 = .765g/ml
