5 physical properties of osmium

Chemistry
1 answer:
lisabon 2012 [21]2 years ago
6 0
In 1803AD, Osmium was discovered by Smithson Tennant when dissolving an impure sample of platinum in aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. He was able to determine that the black powder left behind after dissolving the platinum was actually a mixture of two new elements, indium and osmium.

•Osmium is a bluish-white and shiny metal.

•Osmium is very hard and is brittle even at very high temperatures.

•Osmium has the lowast vapor pressure and the highest melting point among the platinum group of metals.

•Osmium's density is slightly more than iridium hence is credited as the heaviest element.

how many liters of a 60% antifreeze solution must be added to 8L of a 10% antifreeze solution to produce a 20% antifreeze soluti
Tasya [4]

Answer: 2Liters

Explanation:

The expression used will be :

M_1V_1+M_2V_2=M_3V_3

where,

M_1 = concentration of first antifreeze= 60%

M_2 = concentration of second  antifreeze= 10%

V_1 = volume of first antifreeze = x L

V_2 = volume of second antifreeze = 8 L

M_3 = concentration of final antifreeze solution= 20%

V_3 = volume of final antifreeze = (x+8) L

Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the volume of  antifreeze added

60\times x+10\times 8=20\times (x+8)

x=2L

Therefore, the volume of 60% antifreeze solution that must be added is 2L

Which sample of matter is classified as a solution? 1. H2O(s) 2. H2O(l) 3. CO2(g) 4. CO2(aq)
lys-0071 [83]

Answer : Option 4) CO_{2}_{(aq)}

Explanation : CO_{2}_{(aq)} is the only sample of matter which can be classified as a solution. As the solution can be defined as a liquid mixture which contains a minor component (the solute) that is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

In this case, the solute is CO_{2} which is dissolved in water which acts as an solvent. Also, it has a subscript which is aq. which means aqueous, is often given to the solution in which the solvent is water.

Therefore, CO_{2}_{(aq)} is the correct answer.

If 8.500 g CH is burned and the heat produced from the burning is added to 5691 g of water at 21 °C, what is the final
mojhsa [17]

The final temperature = 36 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The balanced combustion reaction for C₆H₆

2C₆H₆(l)+15O₂(g)⇒ 12CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)  +6542 kJ

MW C₆H₆ : 78.11 g/mol

mol C₆H₆ :

\tt \dfrac{8.5}{78.11}=0.109

Heat released for 2 mol C₆H₆ =6542 kJ, so for 1 mol

\tt \dfrac{0.109}{2}\times 6542=356.539~kJ/mol

Heat transferred to water :

Q=m.c.ΔT

\tt 356.539=5.691~kg\times 4.18~kj/kg^oC\times (t_2-21)\\\\t_2-21=15\rightarrow t_2=36^oC

What causes the jet stream to move farther south?
Anni [7]
<span>Jet streams are the major means of transport for weather systems.  A jet stream is an area of strong winds ranging from 120-250 mph that can be thousands of miles long, a couple of hundred miles across and a few miles deep.  Jet streams usually sit at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere at a level called the tropopause.  This means most jet streams are about 6-9 miles off the ground. Figure A is a cross section of a jet stream.
</span>

The dynamics of jet streams are actually quite complicated, so this is a very simplified version of what creates jets.  The basic idea that drives jet formation is this:  a strong horizontal temperature contrast, like the one between the North Pole and the equator, causes a dramatic increase in horizontal wind speed with height.  Therefore, a jet stream forms directly over the center of the strongest area of horizontal temperature difference, or the front.  As a general rule, a strong front has a jet stream directly above it that is parallel to it.  Figure B shows that jet streams are positioned just below the tropopause (the red lines) and above the fronts, in this case, the boundaries between two circulation cells carrying air of different temperatures.
