Chemistry
1 answer:
castortr0y [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

In a decomposition or cracking reaction, a single compound produces two or more simpler substances.

It involves the formation of two or more products from a single reactant.

  A →  B + C

A is the single reactant

B and C are the products

The driving force for such a reaction is the is high positive heat of formation of the compound that is, extreme instability of the compound.

Calculate the electric double layer thickness of a alumina colloid in a dilute (0.1 mol/dm3) CsCI electrolyte solution at 30 °C.
Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Concentration = 0.1 mol/dm^{3}

                             = 0.1 \frac{mol dm^{3}}{dm^{3}} \frac{10^{3}}{dm^{3}} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{1 mol} ions

                             = 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}

               T = 30^{o}C = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

Formula for electric double layer thickness (\lambda_{D}) is as follows.

            \lambda_{D} = \frac{1}{k} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}

where, n^{o} = concentration = 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

                 \lambda_{D} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}                    

                          = \sqrt \frac{78 \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12} c^{2}/Jm \times 1.38 \times 10^{-23}J/K \times 303 K}{2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3} \times (1)^{2} \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}C)^{2}}  

                         = 9.669 \times 10^{-10} m

or,                     = 9.7 A^{o}

                          = 1 nm (approx)

Also, it is known that \lambda_{D} = \sqrt \frac{1}{n^{o}}

Hence, we can conclude that addition of 0.1 mol/dm^{3} of KCl in 0.1 mol/dm^{3} of NaBr "\lambda_{D}" will decrease but not significantly.

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm³ and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
lara [203]

Answer:

8.9 g / cm^3

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

We are given volume which is 10.0cm^3 (cm^3 is just fancy way of saying ml), and mass of 89 gram. Just plug them in respective spots.

Density = 89 / 10.0 = 8.9 g / cm^3

Which of the following results from acid deposition? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following results from acid deposition?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Objects made of stone, like marble headstones, are worn away.

Explanation:

Acid deposition on earth is mostly as a result of acid rain. Acid rain forms which oxides of non-metals such as nitrogen and carbon dissolves in rain water to produce weak acid.

This weak acid that is produced easily wears away materials made up of marble and other sculptures. The most active of the acid is weak carbonic acid produced by dissolution of carbon dioxide in rain water.

Why the two isotopes of bromine have the same chemical properties.
nalin [4]

Answer:

Isotopes of bromine have same chemical properties because they have same number of electrons.

Isotopes have only different number of mass that does not affect it's chemical properties too much.
