I would say you should use or test it once a week to ensure it is working properly in an active laboratory since it is a workplace with significant chemical hazards so it would give peace of mind to know on a quite regular basis that it can be relied on in case of an emergency like an eye flush for example.
Answer:
1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)
2. 79.3g
Explanation:
<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>
NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)
<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>
First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.
The moles of NaN₃ are:
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:

Answer:</h2>
Valance electrons can be determined by <u>Group</u> on the periodic table
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
- Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. We can determine the total number of valence electrons present in an atom by checking at its Group in which it is placed in the periodic table. For example, atoms in Groups 1 the number of valence electron is one and for group 2 the number of valence electrons is 2.
- The groups have number of valance electrons as follow:
Group 1 - 1 valence electron.
Group 2 - 2 valance electrons.
Group 13 - 3 valence electrons.
Group 14 - 4 valance electrons.
Group 15 - 5 valence electrons.
Group 16 - 6 valence electrons.
Group 17 - 7 valence electrons.
Group 18 - 8 valence electrons.
Result: No of valence electron can be determined by the group no. of the element.
Answer:
Percentage yield = 85.2%
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Mg = 21.3 g
Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g
Percentage yield = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass
Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol
Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol
Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.
Mg : MgO
2 : 2
0.88 : 0.88
Mass of MgO:
Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass
Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol
Mass of MgO = 35.46 g
Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g
Percentage yield:
Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100
Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100
Percentage yield = 85.2%
<u>Answer</u>:
Electric evaporator has been used to clean up the Chernobyl and 3 mile island accident.
<u>Explanation</u>:
About 14 years back, there was a puff of radioactive steam from the evaporator used in the "Three-mile island" nuclear plant. It took two years for the electric evaporator to clean up the 2.2 million gallons of water that have been destroyed because of the nuclear power plant accident.
The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.
