Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

A scientist B might want to replicate the experiment of another scientist A in order to assess the claims made by scientist A. In other words, replication of the experiment of another scientist is done to see if a similar outcome would be arrived at or there would be variations.

The claims made by a scientist while reporting the outcome of a particular experiment must be reproducible by another scientist under similar conditions. Otherwise, the claims are said to be false.

How does mass and volume affect sinking and floating? Please don't plagiarize....

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th

Tpy6a [65]

$pH = 13.5$

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the acid dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the base dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :

$[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b = 10^{-pK_{b}}$

$x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}$

$x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}$

$[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}$

$pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5$

Calculate 4 Srxn for this equation. Round to the

masya89 [10]

Answer:

On edge nuity, it is 79.

Explanation:

Please read the explanation.

Since u have no coefficients, this problem is super easy.

You just add your products, 115.5+69.91 = 185.41

Then add your reactants: 49.8+56.5= 106.3

Then subtract your reactants from your product and round to the nearest whole number.

106.3-185.41=79

It's really easy. Once u understand it, you can do any problem like this. If there is coefficients, just multiply the coefficient by the amount given to you in the problem.

Approximately how many particles are in 2 moles?

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$1.2\times10^2^4$ particles in 2 moles.

Explanation:

The number of particles that are contained in one mole, the international unit of amount of substance: by definition, exactly 6.022×10²³, and it is dimensionless. It is named after the scientist Amedeo Avogadro.

It is also known as Avogadro's constant.

∴ Number of particles in one mole = $6.022\times10^2^3$

∴ Number of particles in 2 mole = 2 times Number of particles in one mole

∴ Number of particles in 2 mole= $2\times6.022\times10^2^3=12.044\times10^2^3\approx1.2\times10^2^4$

Hence there are $1.2\times10^2^4$ particles in 2 moles.
