A standard backpack is approximately 30cm x 30cm x 40cm. Suppose you find a hoard of pure gold while treasure hunting in the wil

derness. How much mass would your backpack hold if you filled it with the gold? An average student has a mass of 70 kg. How do these values compare?

Explanation:

The dimensions of a standard backpack is 30cm x 30cm x 40cm

The mass of an average student is 70 kg

We know that, the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³.

Let m be the mass of the backpack. So,

\text{density}=\dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=19.3\ g/cm^3\times (30\times 30\times 40)\ cm^3\\\\m=694800\ g\\\\\text{or}\\\\m=694.8\ kg\approx 700\ kg

An average student has a mass of 70 kg. If we compare the mass of student and mass of backpack, we find that the backpack is 10 times of the mass of the student.

Would you expect an organic compound to be soluble in water why
RSB [31]

Answer: All organic compound depends on  H-bonding with water. more stronger H-bonding with water more will be soluble.

Explanation:

1. It depends primarily upon the function groups of that compound. It also depends on the size of the compound.  

2. some organic compound which soluble in water for example: alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids.  Because of the functional groups attached to the organic structure (the C-H backbone) are what effect the solubilities.Like carboxylic acids and alcohols form hydrogen bonds with the water, helping to solubilize it.  

3. Take alcohols for example: methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol are all completely soluble in water. By the time you get to butanol and some of the larger alcohols, including those with more complex structures, they tend to be less soluble.

What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 28.2 ml of a 0.355 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the
Mrac [35]

Answer;

Molarity of NaOH is 0.80 M

Explanation;

The balanced equation for the reaction is;

2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq = NaSO4(aq) +2 H2O (l)

Moles = concentration x volume  

thus; 0.355M x 0.0282L= 0.01 moles of H2SO4.

Using the mole ratio;

Moles of NaOH = Moles of H2SO4 ×2

                         = 0.02 Moles

Therefore; moles of NaOH = 0.02 moles

But; Concentration = moles / volume  

Thus; Concentration of NaOH = 0.02 / 0.025L

                                       = 0.8M

Which type of orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the Si^4+ ground-state ion? 1. 2s 2. 3p 3. 4s 4. 4
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is [Ne]3s^{2}3p^{2}.

And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.

As Si^{4+} has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of Si^{4+} is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}.

According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.

As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.

Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the Si^{4+} ground-state ion.
