At the end of the school day, the teacher gives each student a compass. She explains that a compass is made of a small piece of

metal called a needle. She also told students that the Earth has a magnetic force around it. She asked students to use what they've learned about electric and magnetic forces to explain why a compass always points north.
Which of the following is the best explanation of why a compass points north?
A.The needle of the compass is likely pulled towards the north because the needle and north area of the Earth are both positively charged, causing an attraction.
B.Since the Earth has a magnetic force, it must attract one end of the needle. The needle likely has an electric force that is affected by the magnetic force of the Earth.
C.Since the Earth has a magnetic force, it must attract one end of the needle. The needle is likely magnetic and has opposite charges on each end
.D.The Earth's magnetic force causes metals, like the needle of a compass, to point north because of the electric force in the needle. They likely repel each other.

The concentration of a saturated BaCl2 solution is 1.75 M (mol/liter) and the concentration of a saturated Na2SO4 solution is 2.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) The theoretical yield is 408.45g of BaSO_{4}

b) Percent yield = \frac{realyield}{408.45g}*100

Explanation:

1. First determine the numer of moles of BaCl_{2} and Na_{2}SO_{4}.

Molarity is expressed as:

M=\frac{molessolute}{Lsolution}

- For the BaCl_{2}

M=\frac{1.75molesBaCl_{2}}{1Lsolution}

Therefore there are 1.75 moles of BaCl_{2}

- For the Na_{2}SO_{4}

M=\frac{2.0moles[tex]Na_{2}SO_{4}}{1Lsolution}[/tex]

Therefore there are 2.0 moles of Na_{2}SO_{4}

2. Write the balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of the barium white pigment, BaSO_{4}:

BaCl_{2}+Na_{2}SO_{4}=BaSO_{4}+2NaCl

3. Determine the limiting reagent.

To determine the limiting reagent divide the number of moles by the stoichiometric coefficient of each compound:

- For the BaCl_{2}:

\frac{1.75}{1}=1.75

- For the Na_{2}SO_{4}:

\frac{2.0}{1}=2.0

As the BaCl_{2} is the smalles quantity, this is the limiting reagent.

4. Calculate the mass in grams of the barium white pigment produced from the limiting reagent.

1.75molesBaCl_{2}*\frac{1molBaSO_{4}}{1molBaCl_{2}}*\frac{233.4gBaSO_{4}}{1molBaSO_{4}}=408.45gBaSO_{4}

5. The percent yield for your synthesis of the barium white pigment will be calculated using the following equation:

Percent yield = \frac{realyield}{theoreticalyield}*100

Percent yield = \frac{realyield}{408.45g}*100

The real yield is the quantity of barium white pigment you obtained in the laboratory.

The table shows the amount of radioactive element remaining in a sample over a period of time.
Assoli18 [71]

It would take 147 hours for 320 g of the sample to decay to 2.5 grams from the information provided.

Radioactivity refers to the decay of a nucleus leading to the spontaneous emission of radiation. The half life of a radioactive nucleus refers to the time required for the nucleus to decay to half of its initial amount.

Looking at the table, we can see that the initial mass of radioactive material present is 186 grams, within 21 hours, the radioactive substance decayed to half of its initial mass (93 g). Hence, the half life is 21 hours.

Using the formula;

k = 0.693/t1/2

k = 0.693/21 hours = 0.033 hr-1

Using;

N=Noe^-kt

N = mass of radioactive sample at time t

No = mass of radioactive sample initially present

k = decay constant

t = time taken

Substituting values;

2.5/320= e^- 0.033 t

0.0078 = e^- 0.033 t

ln (0.0078) = 0.033 t

t = ln (0.0078)/-0.033

t = 147 hours

III. For the following four sections: If you are given the formula, name the
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

15.Potassium oxide

16.Calcium chloride

17.Aluminium sulphide

18.CaS

Explanation:

15.K is the chemical symbol of Potassium and generally the name of the non-metal at the end of a formula has the suffix '-ide' and since O is oxygen, the name becomes Potassium oxide.

16. The same applies here. Ca is Calcium and Cl is Chlorine but since its the non-metal at the end, it ends in -ide. So Calcium chloride.

17.The same applies here too. Al is Aluminium and S is Sulphur so Aluminium sulphide.

18. Calcium's symbol is Ca and that of Sulphur is S and that gives the formula CaS.
