Answer:

Here's it:

Explanation:

Germs are everywhere! They can get onto hands and items we touch during daily activities and make us sick. Cleaning hands at key times with soap and water or hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to those around you.

There are important differences between washing hands with soap and water and using hand sanitizer. Soap and water work to remove all types of germs from hands, while sanitizer acts by killing certain germs on the skin. Although alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs in many situations, they should be used in the right situations.

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0 ∘c to water at 60.0∘c is ________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wat

guajiro [1.7K]

First, we have to get:

1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:

according to q formula:

q1 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass

= 1 mol * 18 mol/g

= 18 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K

and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C

by substitution:

∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C

= 1881 J = 1.881 KJ

2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :

q2 = n*ΔHfus

when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol

and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol

by substitution:

q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol

= 6.01 KJ

3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:

q3 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of water = 18 g

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K

ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C

by substitution:

∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C

= 4514 J = 4.514 KJ

∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3

= 1.881 KJ +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ

= 12.405 KJ

A gamma ray photon has an energy of 4.75 x 10-14 joules. What is the frequency of this radiation?

Rama09 [41]

The frequency of the radiation is equal to $7.17 \times 10^{19}$ Hertz.

Given the following data:

Photon energy = $4.75 \times 10^{-14}$ Joules

To find the frequency of this radiation, we would use the Planck-Einstein equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein relation is given by the formula:

$E = hf$

Where:

h is Planck constant.

f is photon frequency.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$4.75 \times 10^{-14} = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times F\\\\F = \frac{4.75 \times 10^{-14}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}$

Frequency, F = $7.17 \times 10^{19}$ Hertz

20cm of 0.09M solution of H2SO4. requires 30cm of NaOH for complete neutralization. Calculate the

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Choice A: approximately $0.12\; \rm M$ .

Explanation:

Note that the unit of concentration, $\rm M$ , typically refers to moles per liter (that is: $1\; \rm M = 1\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .)

On the other hand, the volume of the two solutions in this question are apparently given in $\rm cm^3$ , which is the same as $\rm mL$ (that is: $1\; \rm cm^{3} = 1\; \rm mL$ .) Convert the unit of volume to liters:

$V(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) = 20\; \rm cm^{3} = 20 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.02\; \rm L$ .
$V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 30\; \rm cm^{3} = 30 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.03\; \rm L$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm H_2SO_4$ formula units in that $0.02\; \rm L$ of the $0.09\; \rm M$ solution:

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) &= c(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) \cdot V(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})\\ &= 0.02 \; \rm L \times 0.09 \; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1} = 0.0018\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Note that $\rm H_2SO_4$ (sulfuric acid) is a diprotic acid. When one mole of $\rm H_2SO_4$ completely dissolves in water, two moles of $\rm H^{+}$ ions will be released.

On the other hand, $\rm NaOH$ (sodium hydroxide) is a monoprotic base. When one mole of $\rm NaOH$ formula units completely dissolve in water, only one mole of $\rm OH^{-}$ ions will be released.

$\rm H^{+}$ ions and $\rm OH^{-}$ ions neutralize each other at a one-to-one ratio. Therefore, when one mole of the diprotic acid $\rm H_2SO_4$ dissolves in water completely, it will take two moles of $\rm OH^{-}$ to neutralize that two moles of $\rm H^{+}$ produced. On the other hand, two moles formula units of the monoprotic base $\rm NaOH$ will be required to produce that two moles of $\rm OH^{-}$ . Therefore, $\rm NaOH$ and $\rm H_2SO_4$ formula units would neutralize each other at a two-to-one ratio.

$\rm H_2SO_4 + 2\; NaOH \to Na_2SO_4 + 2\; H_2O$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$ .

Previous calculations show that $0.0018\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ was produced. Calculate the number of moles of $\rm NaOH$ formula units required to neutralize that

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})}\cdot n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) \\&= 2 \times 0.0018\; \rm mol = 0.0036\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the concentration of a $0.03\; \rm L$ solution that contains exactly $0.0036\; \rm mol$ of $\rm NaOH$ formula units:

$\begin{aligned}c(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{V(\mathrm{NaOH})} = \frac{0.0036\; \rm mol}{0.03\; \rm L} = 0.12\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .
