Answer:
HCl
Explanation:
The best solvent for NaF is a polar liquid. The only liquid having a significant dipole moment among the options is HCl due to the large electro negativity difference between hydrogen and chlorine.
The polar solvent can interact with the NaF via its dipoles such that the NaF dissolves due to ion-dipole interaction.
Answer:
65.08 g.
Explanation:
- For the reaction, the balanced equation is:
<em>2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂,</em>
2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with 3.0 mole of Br₂ to produce 2.0 mole of AlBr₃ and 3.0 mole of Cl₂.
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 36.2 grams of AlCl₃:
<em>n = mass/molar mass</em> = (36.2 g)/(133.34 g/mol) = <em>0.2715 mol.</em>
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with → 3.0 mole of Br₂, from the stichiometry.
0.2715 mol of AlCl₃ reacts with → ??? mole of Br₂.
∴ The no. of moles of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = (0.2715 mol)(3.0 mole)/(2.0 mole) = 0.4072 mol.
<em>∴ The mass of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = no. of moles of Br₂ x molar mass</em> = (0.4072 mol)(159.808 g/mol
) = <em>65.08 g.</em>
Answer:
The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,
XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻
X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element
As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,
No. of electrons = atomic number - charge
36 = atomic number - 2
Atomic number = 38
Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.
Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,
No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
= 89 - 38
= 51 neutrons.
One of the many awe-inspiring things about algae, Professor Greene explains, is that they can grow between ten and 100 times faster than land plants. In view of this speedy growth rate – combined with the fact they can thrive virtually anywhere in the right conditions – growing marine microalgae could provide a variety of solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.
Take, global warming. Algae sequesters CO2, as we have learned, but owing to the fact they grow faster than land plants, can cover wider areas and can be utilised in bioreactors, they can actually absorb CO2 more effectively than land plants. AI company Hypergiant Industries, for instance, say their algae bioreactor was 400 times more efficient at taking in CO2 than trees.
And it’s not just their nutritional credentials which could solve humanity’s looming food crisis, but how they are produced. Marine microalgae grow in seawater, which means they do not rely on arable land or freshwater, both of which are in limited supply. Professor Greene believes the use of these organisms could therefore release almost three million km2 of cropland for reforestation, and also conserve one fifth of global freshwater
