Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

In water molecule, oxygen has -2 charge on it while the hydrogen has +1 charge and one atom of oxygen combines with two hydrogen atoms. A hydrogen need only two electrons to complete its octet (one electron is its own the second electron is shared by oxygen) and a oxygen needs 8 electrons (It has six of its own and two are shared by two hydrogen atom).

Hence, option 4 is correct

After 1 min, three radioactive nuclei remain from an original sample of six. Is it valid to conclude that t₁/₂ equals 1 min? Is

Harrizon [31]

Three of them may have decayed more quickly or more slowly than they should have according to the likelihood at that particular moment. However, suppose we have a lot of radioactive new Clyde's, say six times 10 to the 12, and we have three times 10 to the 12 in a minute. The rate may then be averaged out because there are a sufficient number of radioactive new Clyde's. Furthermore, we can say with confidence that the half life is one minute.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity, as its name suggests, is the act of generating radiation without any external cause. An atomic nucleus that is unstable for whatever reason does this by "wanting" to give up some energy in order to change its configuration to one that is more stable. Modern physics spent a lot of time in the first half of the 20th century figuring out why this occurs, which led to a pretty solid understanding of nuclear decay by 1960. A nucleus with too many neutrons will produce a negative beta particle, which will convert one of the neutrons into a proton. A nucleus with too many protons will emit positrons, which are positively charged electrons that turn protons into neutrons.

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g H2O and 25.0 g C2H5OH. Determine the mole fractions of each substance.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28

Explanation:

By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:

25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)

25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)

Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles

Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles

Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28

Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1

Write the complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid, HI, and sodium hy

Serhud [2]

Answer:

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Explanation:

The complete reaction when hydroiodic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate combine, would be as follows -

HI + NaHCO3 ----> NaI + H2O + CO2

net reaction

H2CO3 is highly unstable, and thus decomposes into the water and carbon dioxide you see present as the reactants. If you didn't know already, H2CO3 is also reffered to as carbonic acid. The rest of the elements present on the reactant side are Iodine and Sodium, which is why they are present on the product side as NaI.

Let me include the " physical states " in this reaction as well -

HI ( aq ) + NaHCO3 ( aq ) ----> NaI ( aq ) + H2O ( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Now the complete ionic equation would simply be each compound present as ions in an aqueous solution, so there is no need for an explanation on this step -

H+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + Na+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) -------> Na+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

The spectator ions in this reaction are I- and Na+, so canceling them out, you would receive the following net ionic equation -

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )
