Can mercury turn on a light?

Chemistry
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Mercury is useful in lighting because it contributes to the bulbs' efficient operation and life expectancy. Fluorescent and other mercury-added bulbs are generally more energy efficient and last longer than incandescent and other equivalent forms of lighting.

Write a nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

Explanation:

  • The nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90 is represented by;

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

  • In nuclear fission reactions a heavy nuclide is split into two light nuclides and is coupled by the release of energy.

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of  HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C)  pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)=  9.3979

If we consider the  Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

Select the supplements that are minerals.
Jet001 [13]
<h3> The supplements that are minerals are</h3>
  1. calcium
  2. sodium
  3. iron
  4. zinc

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

  • calcium   and sodium  are major  minerals   which are required  by the body for

      calcium-  needed  for muscle,hearing bone and  for the support of synthesis and function of cells

     sodium-   is needed to control blood  pressure  and  also for proper  muscle and nerve  function

  • Zinc  and iron are  required   in trace and both are needed for good health

When two species A and B form an electron-pair bond and A does not provide its electrons for bonding, the bond present between A
vichka [17]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

If A does not have electron to bond, it just receives one electron from B.

It can´t be covalent because A don´t have any electrons to bond with B.
