Answer:

This approximation of mass can be used to easily calculate how many neutrons an element has by simply subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. Protons and neutrons both weigh about one atomic mass unit or amu. Isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

The pH of a saturated solution of a metal hydroxide MOH is 10.15. Calculate the Ksp for this compound.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Ksp=2.00x10^{-8}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the pH of the given metal is 10.15, we can compute the pOH as shown below:

pOH=14-pH=14-10.15=3.85

Now, we compute the concentration of hydroxyl ions in solution:

[OH^-]=10^{-pOH}=10^{-3.95}=1.41x10^{-4}M

Now, since this hydroxide has the form MOH, we infer the concentration of OH- equals the concentration of M^+ at equilibrium, assuming the following ionization reaction:

MOH(s)\rightarrow M^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Whose equilibrium expression is:

Ksp=[M^+][OH^-]

Therefore, the Ksp for the saturated solution turns out:

Ksp=1.41x10^{-4}*1.41x10^{-4}\\\\Ksp=2.00x10^{-8}

Best regards!

12.A piece of magnesium is in the shape of a cylinder with a height of 5.62 cm
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Density, d = 1.779 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of a material is given by its mass per unit volume.

Here, height of a piece of magnesium cylinder, h = 5.62 cm

Its diameter, d = 1.34 cm

Radius = 0.67 cm

Volume of he cylinder,

V=\pi r^2 h\\\\\text{Putting the value of r and h, we get :}\\\\V=(\pi \times (0.67)^2\times 5.62)\ cm^3

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{14.1\ g}{(\pi \times (0.67)^2\times 5.62)\ cm^3}\\\\d=1.779\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the sample is 1.779 g/cm³.

Which statements describe phase changes? Check all that apply. Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze
Kipish [7]

Answer: Statements (A), and (C) are correct.

Explanation:

The statements that are true are as follows.

  • Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze.

When a liquid freezes the molecules get attracted towards each other. This attraction of particles occurs slowly. Hence, this statement is true.

  • Attractive forces between the particles in a liquid are broken when a liquid boils.

When temperature is raised, the molecules in a liquid gains kinetic energy and start to move quickly in random directions. As a result, liquid state changes to gaseous state. Hence, this statement is true.

If the attractive force between gas molecules have to be increased, they should be moving slower instead because moving faster does not help attracting molecules together.

Hence, the statement particles in gas move fast enough to make more attractive forces when the gas condenses is not true.
