Answer:

Hydrogen Chloride Gas is heavier than air and sinks to the ground after being released. Firefighters closer to the ground will be subjected to significantly greater concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas than the firefighters walking on top of railcars.

Explanation:

The molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol. Air is approximately 78% N2, which has a molar mass of 28.014 g/mol and 21% oxygen, which has a molar mass of 32 g/mol; the remaining constituents of air include CO2 and other trace amounts of gases.

The molar mass of HCl is 36.458 g/mol.

Because HCl is heavier than air, it sinks toward the ground, displacing the lighter air.

The height of railway cars is reported to vary between 13.5 ft to 15.5 ft. So firefighters on tank cars are generally above the HCl gas (although localized atmospheric conditions could cause the HCl to move higher up in the air column).

Answer: A) Sodium Na and Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

In the period table, you can see that Sodium (group 1) has 11 protons, and Magnesium (group 2) has 12 protons. 11+12=23 protons

The compound Xe(CF3)2 decomposes in afirst-order reaction to elemental Xe with a half-life of 30. min.If you place 7.50 mg of Xe

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

$t=147.24\ min$

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life = 30 min

$t_{1/2}=\frac{\ln2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{\ln2}{30}\ min^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = 7.50 mg

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 0.25 mg

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$0.25=7.50e^{-0.0231\times t}$

$750e^{-0.0231t}=25$

$x=\frac{\ln \left(30\right)}{0.0231}$

$t=147.24\ min$

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O can be classified as what type of reaction?

Sveta_85 [38]

Combustion reaction
Key: O2
O2 is normally in a chemical formula when you are used to burn anything, so basically, anything with O2 involves burning.

Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Which statement is correct? A. pKa is not an indicator of acid strength. B. An acid with a small Ka is stronger than an acid wit

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa

Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.
