LICUICY NICULUM

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Missing component

Cl₂

H₂O

Explanation:

Reaction given:

? + 2NaBr → 2NaCl+Br

Mg+? → MgO+H2

missing component = ?

Solution:

Reaction 1

? + 2NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

if we look at the reactants and products there is one element is in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Cl (Chlorine)

Br (Bromine)

In Reactant there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Br (Bromine)

So only Chlorine is missing in the reactant side.

if we put chlorine in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

Cl + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

So chlorine react with water and give sodium chloride and bromine molecule, this is a single displacement reaction and chlorine replace bromine in the above reaction

Now balance the equation

Cl₂ + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br₂

So, the missing component is

Cl₂

____________

Reaction 2

Mg + ? ---------→ MgO + H₂

if we look at the reactants and products there are two element in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Mg (Magnesium)

O (Oxygen)

H (Hydrogen)

In Reactant there is only one following atom

Mg (Magnesium)

So Oxygen and Hydrogen is missing in the reactant side.

if we put water molecule (H₂O) in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

Mg + H₂O ---------→ MgO + H₂

in this reaction magnesium (Mg) react with water (H₂O) and give magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.

So, the missing component is

H₂O

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

8700

Explanation:

First, do the operations i<em>nside parentheses</em>.

102 900/12 = 8600 2 sfs because of 12

170/1.27 = 130 2 sfs because of trailing 0 in 170

===============

Now, do the addition.

8600

8700

The answer has two significant figures because when adding, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.

The last significant figure in 8600 (the 6, in the hundreds place) is further to the left than the last significant figure in 130 (the 3, in the tens place).

We round off to the nearest hundred and get the answer, 8700.

Promethium-147 is sometimes used in luminescent paint. It has a half-life of 956.3 days. If 250 grams (g) of promethium-147 is u

Fantom [35]

Answer:

% = 76.75%

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to use the expressions of half life and it's relation with the concentration or mass of a compound. That expression is the following:

A = A₀ e^(-kt) (1)

Where:

A and A₀: concentrations or mass of the compounds, (final and initial)

k: constant decay of the compound

t: given time

Now to get the value of k, we should use the following expression:

k = ln2 / t₁/₂ (2)

You should note that this expression is valid when the reaction is of order 1 or first order. In this kind of exercises, we can assume it's a first order because we are not using the isotope for a reaction.

Now, let's calculate k:

k = ln2 / 956.3

k = 7.25x10⁻⁴ d⁻¹

With this value, we just replace it in (1) to get the final mass of the isotope. The given time is 1 year or 365 days so:

A = 250 e^(-7.25x10⁻⁴ * 365)

A = 250 e^(-0.7675)

A = 191.87 g

However, the question is the percentage left after 1 year so:

% = (191.87 / 250) * 100

<h2>% = 76.75%</h2><h2>And this is the % of isotope after 1 year</h2>
