Explanation:

The scientific method involves making observations and asking questions. Scientists form hypotheses based on these observations and then develop controlled experiments to collecting and analyze data. Using this data, they are able to draw conclusions and form questions for new scientific research.

How to set up the rate expressions for the following mechanism?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

A → B k₁

B → A k₂

B + C → D k₃

The rate law = $\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}=k_3[B][C] --- (1)$

$\dfrac{d[B]}{dt}=k[A] -k_2[B] -k_3[B][C]$

Using steady-state approximation;

$\dfrac{d[B]}{dt}=0$

$k_1[A]-k_2[B]-k_3[B][C] = 0$

$[B] = \dfrac{k_1[A]}{k_2+k_3[C]}$

From equation (1), we have:

$\mathbf{\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}= \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_2+k_3[C]}}$

when the pressure is high;

k₂ << k₃[C]

$\dfrac{d[D]}{dt} = \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_3[C]}= k_1A \ \ \text{first order}$

k₂ >> k₃[C]

$\dfrac{d[D]}{dt} = \dfrac{k_3k_1[A][C]}{k_2}= \dfrac{k_1k_3}{k_2}[A][C] \ \ \text{second order}$

The individual particles in an ionic solid are held together as a result of:

dlinn [17]

electrostatic force

Explanation:

In ionic bonds one atom is positively charged (the atom that gives its electrons), and the other atom is negatively charged (the atom that receives the electrons); therefore, it is the opposite charge of the ions that attracts them to one another and holds them together with electrostatic force.

Calculate the empirical formula for a compound containing 67.6% Hg 10.8% S 21.6% O

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

HgSO₄

Explanation:

% => g => moles => ratio => reduce => empirical ratio

%Hg = 67.6% => 67.6g/201g/mol = 0.34mol

%S = 10.8% => 10.8g/32g/mol = 0.34mol

%O = 21.6% => 21.6g/16g/mol = 1.35mol

Hg:S:O => 0.34:0.34:1.35

Reduce to whole number ratio by dividing by the smaller mole value...

Hg:S:O => 0.34/.34:0.34/.34:1.35/.34 => Empirical Ratio = 1:1:4

∴ Empirical Formula is HgSO₄

How do scientists measure the idea of time so long ago?

professor190 [17]

The Ancient Egyptians used simple sundials and divided days into smaller parts, and it has been suggested that as early as 1,500BC, they divided the interval between sunrise and sunset into 12 parts. ... Known as a clepsydra, it uses a flow of water to measure time.
