You are determining the density of an unknown solid. You figure out the volume by water displacement. Then you weigh the solid,

but forget to dry it off first. The calculated density will be larger, smaller, or the correct value? Why?

Answer:

The calculated density will be larger

Explanation:

The calculated density will be <u>larger</u>. Because, the volume is taken accurately, by the water displacement method. But, when we the took the mass, the water was present on the unknown solid. So, the mass of that water was added to the original mass of the solid. Hence, the mass measured was larger than the original mass. We, know from the formula of density that density is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

Density = Mass/Volume

Hence, the larger measured mass means the larger value of density.

loris [4]

Answer:

1.33\cdot 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

For a charged particle accelerated by an electric field, the kinetic energy gained by the particle is equal to the decrease in electric potential energy of the particle; therefore:

K_f-K_i = -q\Delta V

where

K_f is the final kinetic energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

In this problem,

q=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge of the electron

\Delta V=-500 V-(-1000 V)=500 V

The electron starts from rest, so its initial kinetic energy is

K_i=0

Therefore,

K_f=-(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(500)=8\cdot 10^{-17}J

We can write the final kinetic energy of the electron as

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg is the electron mass

v is the final speed

And solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(8\cdot 10^{-17})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}}=1.33\cdot 10^7 m/s

babunello [35]

Answer:

5.0x10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete, however this is the data that has been found in a web search:

" One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose a EPA chemist tests a 250 mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this:

NiCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ →  2AgCl + Ni(NO₃)₂

The chemist adds 50 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 3.6 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

Keep in mind that while the process is the same, if the values in your question are different, then your answer will be different as well.

First we <u>calculate the moles of nickel chloride found in the 250 mL sample</u>:

  • 3.6 mg AgCl ÷ 143.32 mg/mmol * \frac{1mmolNiCl_{2}}{2mmolAgCl} = 0.0126 mmol NiCl₂

Now we <u>divide the moles by the volume to calculate the molarity</u>:

  • 0.0126 mmol / 250 mL = 5.0x10⁻⁵M

STatiana [176]

Alkenes must undergo addition because they have easily broken tt bonds.

Markonikov's rule states in the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the H atom bonds to the less substituted carbon atom.

alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they have fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per carbon.

Alkyl halides have good leaving groups and therefore readily undergo substitution and elimination reactions.

In hydroboration, the boron atom bonds to the substituted carbon.

Hydroxides, amines and alcoxides undergo substitution and elimination, but can do so only when the heteroatom is made into a good leaving group.
