Answer:

Flame test is one of the chemical tests that can be used to identify a metal or metaloid

in an ionic compound.

Explanation:

Flame test is guided by a principle that when an unknown metal is heated, heat of the flame converts the metal ions into atoms which become excited and emit visible light.

To carry out flame test in a laboratory the following instruments are required:

--> a wire loop

--> Bunsen burner

--> the chemical compound under observation

--> protective wears.

The procedure involves the following steps:

--> turn on the Bunsen burner and adjust the barrel of the burner roll the flame is blue.

--> using a clean wire loop deep into a beaker containing hydrochloric acid.

--> to ensure that the loop is clean, it will give the same blue colour of the flame when heated.

--> deep the loop in the acid again and then use it to pick few grains of the metal.

--> place the wire loop in the side of the flame and observe the colour of the flame.

Result of flame tests of some metallic ion will show the following:

--> sodium ion will give yellow colour flame

--> potassium ion will give lilac colour flame

--> calcium ion will give orange-red colour flame

A 4 liter solution of bleach with a concentration of 0.5 moles/L is diluted using an extra 4 Liters of water. What is the final
blondinia [14]

Answer:

0.25 mol/L

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 4L

Initial concentration (C1) = 0.5 mol/L

Final volume (V2) = 4 + 4 = 8L

Final concentration (C2) =?

Applying the dilution formula, we can easily find the concentration of the diluted solution as follow:

C1V1 = C2V2

0.5 x 4 = C2 x 8

Divide both side by 8

C2 = (0.5 x 4 )/ 8

C2 = 0.25 mol/L

Therefore the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.25 mol/L

What are the units of k in the following rate law?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

B. \frac{1}{M^{2} s }

Explanation:

The unit for rate is M/s while the unit for each molecule should be M. You can find the unit for k by putting the units for rate and the molecules into the equation

rate= k{X][Y]

M/s= k * M^{2} * M^{1}

k= (M/s) / (M^{3})

k= \frac{1}{M^{2} s }

You can also use this predetermined formula to solve this problem faster: k= \frac{M^{1-n} }{s }

Where n is the number of molecule. There are 3 molecule(2X and 1Y) so n=3, so

k= \frac{M^{1-n} }{s }

k= \frac{M^{1-3} }{s }= \frac{m^{-2}}{s}= \frac{1}{M^{2} s }
