Answer:

Oxygen is a simple molecular structure, where individual oxygen atoms are bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds. Hence, a low amount of energy is required to overcome these weak forces and oxygen has a low boiling point. Therefore, at room temperature, oxygen is a gas. Oxygen difluoride is a colorless gas, condensable to a pale yellow liquid, with a slightly irritating odor. It is the most stable of the compounds of fluorine and oxygen, which include O,F,, O,F, and 0,F2 but nevertheless it is a strong oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Oxygen Difluoride is a colorless gas or a yellowish-brown liquid with a foul odor. Just to finally link Joseph's answer to the question, oxygen difluoride will thus change from liquid to solid state when chilled from -220°c to -230°c. The boiling point of oxygen is -182.96 degrees Celsius (under 1 standard atmosphere). This means at temperatures below that point, oxygen is a solid or a liquid, and at temperatures above that point, oxygen is a gas. So at -183 degrees Celsius, oxygen is a liquid.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH

Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}$

= 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

1 g/ml = $\frac{100 g}{volume}$

volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}$

= $\frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}$

= 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

$NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O$

So, moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

$x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M$ (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.

The statement "electrons have a negative charge" is true. Select the correct evidence scientist have that proves this statement

Kryger [21]

The question is incomplete but i will try to offer as much help as i can.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The electron was discovered by J.J Thompson. His model of the atom was called the plum-pudding model of the atom.

He discovered that cathode rays being negatively charged particles were deflected by a magnet in just the same way as moving, negative electrically charged particles.

Similarly, in an electric field, they are deflected towards the positive plate of the electrostatic field which shows that they are negatively charged.
