Answer:

The five phases of matter. There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

Determine the percentage of carbon and hydrogen in ethane C2H6 if the molecular weight is 30.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Percentage of carbon:

${ \tt{ = \frac{24}{30} \times 100\%}} \\ = 80\%$

Percentage of hydrogen:

${ \tt{ = \frac{6}{30} \times 100\%} } \\ = 20\%$

Determine the [H3O+] in a 0.265 M HClO solution. The Ka of HClO is 2.9 × 10-8.

dexar [7]

8.8 × 10-5 M is the [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.

Explanation:

HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.

the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.

HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+

I 0.265 0 0

C -x +x +x

E 0.265-x +x +x

Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.

Ka = $\frac{[ClO-][H3O+]}{[HClO]}$

2.9 × 10^-8 = $\frac{[x] [x]}{[0.265-x]}$

$x^{2}$ = 7.698 x $10^{-9}$

x = 8.8 × 10-5 M

The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M in 0.265 M solution of HClO.

If 27.3% of a sample of silver-112 decays in 1.52 hours, what is the half-life (in hours to 3 decimal places)?

ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.

To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 1.52 hrs

$[A_o]$ = Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g

[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{2.303}{1.52hrs}\log \frac{100}{72.7}\\\\k= 0.2098hr^{-1}$

To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life period of first order reaction = ?

k = rate constant = $0.2098hr^{-1}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.2098hr^{-1}}\\\\t_{1/2}=3.303hrs$

Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

Which way will the reaction shift if the volume is cut in half? a. toward the reactants b. toward the products c. the reaction w

erica [24]

The reaction will shift toward the reactants if the volume is cut in half.

<h3 /><h3>Reactants </h3>

The initial components of a chemical reaction are called reactants. Chemical bonds between reactants are broken and new ones are created in order to create products. Reactants and products are listed on the left and right sides, respectively, of the arrow in a chemical equation.

Substances on both sides of an arrow that points left and right are both reactants and products in a chemical process (the reaction proceeds in both directions simultaneously). A chemical equation that is balanced has the same amount of atoms of each element in the reactants and products. Around 1900–1920 is when the word "reactant" was first used. There are instances when the word "reagent" is interchangeable.
