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.

Find the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 3x10^-18Hz (Show Work)

aalyn [17]

Answer:

λ = 1×10²⁶m

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of radiation = ?

Frequency of radiation = 3×10⁻¹⁸Hz

Solution:

Formula:

c = f × λ

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s = 3×10⁻¹⁸Hz × λ

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 3×10⁻¹⁸s⁻¹

λ = 1×10²⁶m

Identify the correct formula for Beryllium Phosphate.

ivanzaharov [21]

The correct formula for Beryllium phosphate is Be3(PO4)2 Beryllium has a charge of +2 and phosphate has a charge of -3. So to make the charge equal to zero, 3x +2 = 6, and 2 x-3 = -6 -6 + +6 = 0

13.50 grams of Pb(NO3)4 are dissolved in enough water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the molar its of the resulting solutio

likoan [24]

Data:
M (molarity) = ? (M or Mol/L)
m (mass) = 13.50 g
V (volume) = 250 mL → 0.25 L
MM (Molar Mass) of Lead(IV) Nitrate $Pb(NO_3)_4$
Pb = 1*207 = 207 amu
N = (1*14)*4 = 14*4 = 56 amu
O = (3*16)*4 = 48*4 = 192 amu
------------------------------------
MM of $Pb(NO_3)_4$ = 207+56+192 = 455 g/mol

Formula:
$M = \frac{m}{MM*V}$

Solving:
$M = \frac{m}{MM*V}$
$M = \frac{13.50}{455*0.25}$
$M = \frac{13.50}{113.75}$
$M = 0.118681318...\:\:\to\:\:\boxed{\boxed{M \approx 0.119\:Mol/L}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
B. 0.119 M

How many liters of oxygen gas can react with 84.0 grams of lithium metal at standard temperature and pressure? Show all of the w

ddd [48]

From the equation:
4mol Li react with 1 mol O2
Molar mass Li = 7g/mol
mol in 84g Li = 84/7 = 12 mol Li
From the equation - 12 mol Li will react with 3 mol O2

At STP 1 mol O2 has volume = 22.4L
 At STP 3 mol O2 has volume = 3*22.4 = 67.2L O2 gas will react.
