Chemistry
1 answer:
lisabon 2012 [21]3 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.

What volume of 10,0 M H2SO4 is required to prepare 4.0 L of 0.50 M H2SO4?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: A)  0.20 L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

According to the neutralization law,

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1 = molarity of stock H_2SO_4 solution = 10.0 M

V_1 = volume of stock H_2SO_4   solution = ?

M_2 = molarity of dilute H_2SO_4  solution = 0.50 M

V_2 = volume of dilute H_2SO_4  solution = 4.0 L

10.0\times V_1=0.50\times 4.0

V_1=0.20L

Therefore, the volume of 10.0 M H_2SO_4 solution needed to prepare 4.0 L of 0.50 M H_2SO_4 is 0.20 L

What type of information can one obtain by taking a mass spectrum of an organic molecule like dodecane?
Furkat [3]
Mass spectrum of Dodecane will give following information.

1 ) Molecular Peak or Parent Peak:
                                                       The Parent peak will appear at m/z = 170. The intensity of this peak will be very weak.

2) Fragments:
                      Usually the fragments of such long chain alkanes appear with spacing of 14 amu, Hence, the peaks in dodecane will be as follow,

         170 - 156 - 142 - 128 - 114 - 100 - 86 - 72 - 58 - 44 - 30 - 16

3) Base Peak:
                     Most probably the Base peak will appear at m/z = 57. This peak is due to the formation of tertiary butyl cation as the intensity mainly depends upon the stability of cation. So this cation might form due to rearrangment giving the intensity of 100%.

What procedure could a student use to examine an intensive property of a rectangular block of wood
photoshop1234 [79]

An intensive property does not change when you take away some of the sample. The procedures that a student could use to examine the intensive property of a rectangular block of wood are the hardness, color, density and molecular weight.
