<span>Solving for the formula mass of calcium nitrate: Atom | Atomic Mass Ca | 1 x 40.08 = 40.08 N | 2 x 14.01 = 28.02 O | 6 x 16 = 96 FM = 164.10 amu Solving for the percent: %O2 = mass of oxygen / mass of compound x 100% %O2 = 96 amu / 164.10 amu x 100% %O2 = 58.50% or 59%</span>

1. The emission spectrum of mercury atoms has a bright green line with wavelength
SashulF [63]

Emission spectrum results from the movement of an electron from a higher to a lower energy level. The frequency of the photon is 5.5 * 10^14 Hz.

From the formula;

E = hc/λ

h = Plank's constant =6.6 * 10^-34 Js

c = speed of light=  3 * 10^8

λ = wavelength = 546.1 * 10^-9 m

E =  6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/546.1 * 10^-9

E =3.63 * 10^-19 J

Also;

E =hf

Where;

h = Planks's constant

f = frequency of photon

f = E/h

f = 3.63 * 10^-19 J/6.6 * 10^-34

f = 5.5 * 10^14 Hz

Ben observes how quickly some dry wood is burning in a campfire. which term best relates to ben's observation?
Katyanochek1 [597]
I think this the the list of choices relating to the above question.
reaction rate 
<span>activation energy </span>
<span>collision theory </span>
<span>spontaneous reaction
</span>
The term that best relate to ben's observation is REACTION RATE.

Reaction rate is defined as the speed at which the chemical reaction proceeds. It either is the amount of concentration of a product in a given unit of time or the concentration of the reactant that is being consumed in a unit of time.

If you need to extract a 50 ml aqueous solution with 50 ml of dichloromethane, what is the minimum size of a separatory funnel y
tatuchka [14]

The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.

The caution have to consider during the separation are-

1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.

2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.

3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.

Melted wax has a temperature of 54 deg. Celsius. Physical or chemical property?
zalisa [80]

The melting of solid wax to form liquid wax and the evaporation of liquid wax to form wax vapor are physical changes. The burning of the wax vapor is a chemical change.

The two isotopes of chlorine are LaTeX: \begin{matrix}35\\17\end{matrix}Cl35 17 C l and LaTeX: \begin{matrix}37\\17\end{matrix}C
Kay [80]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope will be '1 - x'

  • <u>For _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = x

  • <u>For _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 0.775\times 100=77.5\%

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = (1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%

Hence, the percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
