Answer:
HgO (empirical formula)
Explanation:
4.08 - 3.78 = 0.3g (oxygen)
0.02 : 0.02
0.02/0.02 : 0.02/0.02
1 : 1 (ratio)
HgO ( empirical formula)
2HgO ----> 2Hg + O2 ( your equation correct)
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.
Debunking the other answers:
A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.
B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.
C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.
Thus, D is correct.
Answer:
H2SO4 + CO3 = H2CO3 + SO4
Explanation:
H2SO4 + CO3
This is the reaction of sulphuric acid and carbon trioxide.
Balanced reaction is;
H2SO4 + CO3 = H2CO3 + SO4
So they react to produce carbonic acid and sulfate.
VSEPR notation gives a general formula for classifying chemical species based on the number of electron pairs around a central atom. However, not all species have the same molecules.
For example, carbon dioxide and surfer dioxide are both species, but one is linear and another one is bent.
Answer:
You cannot make observations if you are 57 seconds late into the lab.
Explanation:
The atomic nucleus can split by decay into 2 or more particles as a result of the instability of its atomic nucleus due to the fact that radioactive elements possess an unstable atomic nucleus.
Now, the primary particles which are emitted by radioactive elements in order to make them decay are alpha, beta & gamma particles.
The half life equation is;
N_t = N₀(½)^(t/t_½)
Where:
t = duration of decay
t_½ = half-life
N₀ = number of radioactive atoms initially
N_t = number of radioactive atoms remaining after decay over time t
We are given;
t = 57 secs
N₀ = 100 g
Now, half life of Nitrogen-16 from online sources is 7.2 seconds. t_½ = 7.2
Thus;
N_t = 100(1/2)^(57/7.2)
N_t = 0.4139g
We are told that In order to make observations, you require at least .5g of material.
The value of N_t you got is less than 0.5g, therefore you cannot make observations if you are 57 seconds late.
