A hydrate of zinc nitrate has the formula Zn(NO3)2 . xH2O. If the mass of 1 mol of anhydrous zinc nitrate is 63.67% of the mass
weqwewe [10]

MM Zn(NO₃)₂ = 189.36 g/mol

mass 1 mol Zn(NO₃)₂ = 189.36 g

mass hydrate = 100 / 63.67 x 189.36 = 297.409 g

mass 1 mol hydrate = 297.409 g

MM hydrate = 297.409 g/mol

MM hydrate = MM Zn(NO₃)₂ + MM xH₂O

297.409 = 189.36 + x(18)

x = 6

A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

The time necessary for the decay of one- half sample of a radioactive substance is a _____. mass defect daughter half life nucli
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as t_{1/2}

at t= t_{1/2}, x=\frac{a}{2}

t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}
