Answer:

B= 2

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca + F      →   CaF₂  

Balance chemical equation:

Ca + 2F      →   CaF₂  

Step 1:

Ca + F      →   CaF₂

Left hand side             right hand side

Ca = 1                             Ca = 1

F = 1                                F = 2

Step 2:

Ca + 2F      →   CaF₂

Left hand side             right hand side

Ca = 1                             Ca = 1

F =  2                              F = 2

Let P and V represent the pressure and volume of the Xe(g) in the container in diagram 3. If a piston is used to reduce the volu
Reil [10]

Answer:

2p

Explanation:

To solve this question, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

p\propto \frac{1}{V}

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is its volume

The equation can be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where in this problem we have:

p_1 = p is the initial pressure of the Xe(g) gas

V_1=V is the initial volume of the Xe(g) gas

V_2=\frac{V}{2}  is the final volume of the Xe(g) gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

p_2=\frac{p_1 V_1}{V_2}=\frac{pV}{V/2}=2p

So, the final pressure is twice the initial pressure.

The half life of a new isotope found on Mars is 2 years. It takes 10 years to get the sample back to Earth. If the astronauts st
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

3.99 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Half life (t½) = 2 years.

Original amount (N₀) = 128 g

Time (t) = 10 years

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Next, we shall determine the rate of disintegration of the isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) = 2 years.

Decay constant (K) =.?

K= 0.693/t½

K = 0.693/2

K = 0.3465 year¯¹.

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining after 10 years i.e the amount remaining when they arrive on Earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 128 g

Time (t) = 10 years

Decay constant (K) = 0.3465 year¯¹.

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (128/N) = (0.3465 × 10)/2.3

Log (128/N) = 1.5065

Take the antilog of 1.5065

128/N = Antilog (1.5065)

128/N = 32.1

Cross multiply

128 = 32.1 × N

Divide both side by 32.1

N = 128/32.1

N = 3.99 g

Therefore, the amount remaining is 3.99 g

Consider the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase reaction. Calculate the free energy change if the ratio of the concentrations of the pr
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The free energy change for the reaction at 37.0°C is -8.741 kJ.

Explanation:

The free energy of the reaction is given by :

\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs free energy

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = temperature in Kelvins

K = equilibrium constant

We have :

\Delta G^o=-16.7 kJ/mol=-16,700 J/mol

1 kJ = 1000 J

T = 37.0 C = 37 +273.15 K = 310.15 K

Ratio of concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants =K = 21.9

\Delta G=-16,700 J/mol+8.314J/K mol\times 310.15 K \ln[21.9]

=-8,741.22 J = -8.741 kJ

The free energy change for the reaction at 37.0°C is -8.741 kJ.
