A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?

1 answer:

3 0

Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps

How many grams of MgCl2 (molar mass = 95.20 g/mol) will be formed from 25.6 mL of a 0.100 M HCL solution reacting with excess ma

lorasvet [3.4K]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1
we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol
according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2
Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol
mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g

If a chemical reaction goes to completion, what can we say about the equilibrium constant for that reaction?

aniked [119]

Answer:

A. The equilibrium constant is very large

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant value is the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. When a chemical reaction goes to completion, that means that all the reactant has turned into products. As the equilibrium constant defines, it is the ratio of the product to the reactant. So at the final stage of the chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant will be very large.

Britney added 0.05 moles of copper(II) nitrate solution to 0.1 moles of sodium hydroxide solution and

Rama09 [41]

The percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the percent yield of copper hydroxide

First, we will determine the theoretical mass

From the given balanced chemical equation, we have

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH -- Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

This means,

1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of copper hydroxide

Therefore,
0.05 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 0.1 mole of sodium hydroxide to produce 0.05 mole of copper hydroxide

The theoretical number of moles of copper hydroxide that is produced is 0.05 mole

Now, for the theoretical mass

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of copper hydroxide = 97.56 g/mol

Then,

Theoretical mass = 0.05 × 97.56

Theoretical mass of copper of hydroxide produced is = 4.878 g

Now, for the percent yield of copper hydroxide

Percent yield is given by the formula,

$Percent\ yield = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100\%$

Then,

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= \frac{4.1}{4.878}\times 100\%$

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= 84\%$

Hence, the percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%.

Cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁O₄N) is a natural substance found in coca leaves, which have been used for centuries as a local anesthetic and st

kondor19780726 [428]

Cocaine is a stimulant substance obtained from the leaves of two Coca species native to South America, Erythroxylum coca and Erythroxylum novogranatense.

Coca is a plant. The leaves of the coca plant are the source of cocaine, which is an illegal that is used nasally, injected, or smoked for mind-altering effects.

Cocaine is also an FDA-approved Schedule II . This means cocaine can be prescribed by a healthcare provider, but the process is strictly regulated.

<h3>What happens when you smoke coca leaves?</h3>

The smoking of coca paste causes four distinct successive phases of mental disorder: euphoria, dysphoria, hallucinosis and paranoid psychosis. It can produce severe intoxication, prolonged or relapsing psychosis and, in some cases, end of life.
