<span>In the periodic table, the elements are organized into groups based on putting together elements with similar properties. For instance, elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons, which makes them form similar bonds. Additionally, elements in the same similar characteristics, such as malleability and magnetism.</span>

What are some factors that might cause our percent yield to be greater than 100%? What are some factors that might cause it to b

belka [17]

<span>In the field of science, usually, the product of an experiment is computed ahead to understand if it reached a specific objective. It would reach greater than 100% of percent yield if the factors include faster reaction rates; proper handling of the reactants, no outside contaminants, and the procedure of the experiment is followed smoothly. It would reach lesser than 100% percent yield if the experiment is not followed, external factors such as contamination from the environment (wind, moisture, etc). </span>

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.

mezya [45]

PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

an electron,
a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
an electron antineutrino.

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

$\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number $14 - 1 = 13$ to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number $13$ corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

The reaction A(B) = 2B(g) has an equilibrium constant of K = 0.045. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction B(g) =1/2A

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The $K_c$ for the reaction $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$ will be 4.69.

Explanation:

The given equation is A(B) = 2B(g)

to evaluate equilibrium constant for $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$

$K_c=[B]^2[A]$

= 0.045

The reverse will be $2B\leftrightharpoons A$

Then, $K_c = \frac{[A]}{[B]^2}$

= $\frac{1}{0.045}$

= $22m^{-1}$

The equilibrium constant for $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$ will be

$K_c = \sqrt{K_c}$

$=\sqrt{22}$

= 4.69

Therefore, $K_c$ for the reaction $B(g) = \frac{1}{2}A$ will be 4.69.

A cubic piece of platinum metal (specific heat capacity = 0.1256 J/°C･g) at 200.0°C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide ('

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

$a=5.65cm$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:

$Q_{Pt}=-Q_{Deu}$

We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:

$m_{Pt}Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})=-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})$

Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:

$m_{Pt}=\frac{-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})}{Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})} \\\\m_{Pt}=\frac{-1.00L*1110g/L*4.211J/(g\°C)*(41.9-25.5)\°C}{0.1256J/(g\°C)*(41.9-200.0)\°C} \\\\m_{Pt}=3860.4g$

Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:

$V_{Pt}=\frac{3860.4g}{21.45g/cm^3}\\ \\V_{Pt}=180cm^3$

Which computed in terms of the edge length is:

$V=a^3$

Therefore, the edge length turns out:

$a=\sqrt[3]{180cm^3}\\ \\a=5.65cm$

Best regards.
