Answer:

Convection currents are flowing fluid that is moving because there is a temperature or density difference within the material.

Because particles within a solid are fixed in place, convection currents are seen only in gases and liquids. A temperature difference leads to an energy transfer from an area of higher energy to one of lower energy.

What is the mass of a magnesium block that measures 2.00 cm

skad [1K]

Answer:

m = 31.284 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimension of a magnesium block is 2.00 cm x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm.

The density of magnesium is, d = 1.738 g/cm³

We need to find the mass of the magnesium block. We know that the density of an object is given by its mass per unit its volume. So,

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{Where m=mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=1.738\ g/cm^3\times (2\times 3\times 3)\ cm^3\\\\m=31.284\ \text{grams}$

So, the mass of the block is 31.284 grams.

Toxicants generally follow the laws of ________, moving from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration

zloy xaker [14]

Toxicants generally follow the Law of Diffusion , moving from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.

<h3><u>What are Toxicants ?</u></h3>

Any hazardous chemical is a toxicant. Both naturally occurring and artificial toxicants have the potential to be harmful. A toxin, in contrast, is a poison created spontaneously by an organism (e.g. plant, animal, insect). The many toxicant categories may be present in the air, land, water, or food.

A substance is toxic if it has the potential to be harmful or have negative effects on health. Chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxin, which are present at some hazardous waste sites, often cause people to worry.

<h3><u>What is the Law of Diffusion ?</u></h3>

Graham's law of diffusion states that the ratio of the diffusion rate of two gases is the same as the ratio of the square root of the molar mass of the gases.

What is the percent ionization of a 1.8 M HC2H3O2 solution (Ka = 1.8 10-5 ) at 25°C?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

B) 0.32 %

Explanation:

Given that:

$K_{a}=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Concentration = 1.8 M

Considering the ICE table for the dissociation of acid as:-

$\begin{matrix}&CH_3COOH&\rightleftharpoons &CH_3COOH&+&H^+\\ At\ time, t = 0 &1.8&&0&&0\\At\ time, t=t_{eq}&-x&&+x&&+x\\ ----------------&-----&-&-----&-&-----\\Concentration\ at\ equilibrium:-&1.8-x&&x&&x\end{matrix}$

The expression for dissociation constant of acid is:

$K_{a}=\frac {\left [ H^{+} \right ]\left [ {CH_3COO}^- \right ]}{[CH_3COOH]}$

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{1.8-x}$

$1.8\left(1.8-x\right)=100000x^2$

Solving for x, we get:

Percentage ionization = $\frac{0.00568}{1.8}\times 100=0.32 \%$

<u>Option B is correct.</u>
