alina1380 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. 10

Explanation:

So wr for protons is 2 and wr for alpha particles is 20. In these terms, alpha particles cause ten times more damage then protons.

How does the properties of matter in liquid and gas state allow the Herons fountain to work?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Heron's fountain is an hydraulic machine that works because or the pressure inside of the system. Water will flow from high gravitational potential energy to low gravitational potential energy. The two sides of the system will present different pressure because they have different fluids in it (water and air) and  water pressure is higher than gas/air pressure, so it will flow.

It is important to take into account that the pressure in the columns is a function of the height of the fluid (water or air).

Explanation:

<u>The properties of liquid:</u>

- If a liquid is poured into a container, it will adapt to the container's shape

- In a liquid state, the molecules have a kinetic energy higher than in a solid state

- Liquid particles are not arranged in a regular way but they are very close  to each other, that's why liquids have a definite volume.

- Force is spread in an even way through a liquid, so the liquid particles are displaced if an object is placed in it.

- Liquids, as solids, can't be compressed

<u>The properies of gas:</u>

- They are everywhere

- Gas molecules are disorganized and have a great deal of space between them

- Gas fill up any container and spread indefinitely

- Gas molecules have a high kinetic energy

- If gas is put under pressure, the space between particles will decrease and collisions between them will increase.

- If the temperature of the gas increases in a container, the pressure will increase; if the temperature decreases, the pressure sill decrease.

- It can be compressed

- Gas has no definite volume nor definite shape.

What happens when sodium and sulfur combine
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Sodium sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula Na2S, or more commonly its hydrate Na2S·9H2O. Both the anhydrous and the hydrated salts are colorless solids. They are water-soluble, giving strongly alkaline solutions. When exposed to moist air, Na2S and its hydrates emit hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. Some commercial samples are specified as Na2S·xH2O, where a weight percentage of Na2S is specified. Commonly available grades have around 60% Na2S by weight, which means that x is around 3. Such technical grades of sodium sulfide have a yellow appearance owing to the presence of polysulfides. These grades of sodium sulfide are marketed as 'sodium sulfide flakes'.

Structure

Na2S adopts the antifluorite structure,[2][3] which means that the Na+ centers occupy sites of the fluoride in the CaF2 framework, and the larger S2− occupy the sites for Ca2+.

Production

Industrially Na2S is produced by carbothermic reduction of sodium sulfate often using coal:[4]

Na2SO4 + 2 C → Na2S + 2 CO2

In the laboratory, the salt can be prepared by reduction of sulfur with sodium in anhydrous ammonia, or by sodium in dry THF with a catalytic amount of naphthalene (forming sodium naphthalenide):[5]

2 Na + S → Na2S

Reactions with inorganic reagents

The sulfide ion in sulfide salts such as sodium sulfide can incorporate a proton into the salt by protonation:

S2−

+  H+ → SH−

Because of this capture of the proton ( H+), sodium sulfide has basic character. Sodium sulfide is strongly basic, able to absorb two protons. Its conjugate acid is sodium hydrosulfide (SH−

). An aqueous solution contains a significant portion of sulfide ions that are singly protonated.

(2)

Sodium sulfide is unstable in the presence of water due to the gradual loss of hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere.

When heated with oxygen and carbon dioxide, sodium sulfide can oxidize to sodium carbonate and sulfur dioxide:

2 Na2S + 3 O2 + 2 CO

2 → 2 Na2CO3 + 2 SO2

Oxidation with hydrogen peroxide gives sodium sulfate:[6]

Na2S + 4 H2O2 → 4 H

2O + Na2SO4

Upon treatment with sulfur, polysulfides are formed:

2 Na2S + S8 → 2 Na2S5

Uses

Sodium sulfide is primarily used in the kraft process in the pulp and paper industry.

It is used in water treatment as an oxygen scavenger agent and also as a metals precipitant; in chemical photography for toning black and white photographs; in the textile industry as a bleaching agent, for desulfurising and as a dechlorinating agent; and in the leather trade for the sulfitisation of tanning extracts. It is used in chemical manufacturing as a sulfonation and sulfomethylation agent. It is used in the production of rubber chemicals, sulfur dyes and other chemical compounds. It is used in other applications including ore flotation, oil recovery, making dyes, and detergent. It is also used during leather processing, as an unhairing agent in the liming operation.

Reagent in organic chemistry

Alkylation of sodium sulfide give thioethers:

Na2S + 2 RX → R2S + 2 NaX

Even aryl halides participate in this reaction.[7] By a broadly similar process sodium sulfide can react with alkenes in the thiol-ene reaction to give thioethers. Sodium sulfide can be used as nucleophile in Sandmeyer type reactions.[8] Sodium sulfide reduces1,3-dinitrobenzene derivatives to the 3-nitroanilines.[9] Aqueous solution of sodium sulfide can be refluxed with nitro carrying azo dyes dissolved in dioxane and ethanol to selectively reduce the nitro groups to amine; while other reducible groups, e.g. azo group, remain intact.[10] Sulfide has also been employed in photocatalytic applications.[11]

How many atoms are in 1.75 mol CHCL3
vaieri [72.5K]

1 mol = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

In order to find how many atoms, dimly multiply the amount of moles you have by 6.022 x 10²³ or Avogadro's number.

So you have 1.75 mol CHC1₃ x (6.022x10²³) = 1.05385 x 10²⁴ atoms of CHCl₃

But now you have to round because of the rules of significant figures so you get 1.05 x 10²⁴ atoms of CHCl₃

How could you tell whether a liquid is <br> honey or vinegar?
MissTica
Based on the liquids viscosity (which is a measure of how quickly/slowly a fluid can flow).

Higher viscosity represents a "thicker" liquid & slower flow (honey)
Lower viscosity represents a "thinner" liquid & quicker flow (vinegar)
