Answer:

Explanation:

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration. In recent years, researchers have taken to replicating this test in a way that the Italian scientist probably never envisioned — by dropping atoms. One of Galileo's contributions to the founding of modern science was his study of falling objects. He turned, then, to measuring the acceleration of objects rolling down smooth ramps. The ramp "diluted" the acceleration to a value small enough to allow accurate measurements of the longer time intervals.

Answer: The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

Explanation:

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of HI = 0.550 moles

Volume of container = 2.00 L

$\text{Initial concentration of HI}=\frac{0.550}{2}=0.275M$

For the given chemical equation:

$2HI(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+I_2(g)$

Initial: 0.275

At eqllm: 0.275-2x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}$

We are given:

$K_c=0.0156$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$0.0156=\frac{x\times x}{(0.275-2x)^2}\\\\x=-0.0458,0.0275$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = x = 0.0275 M

Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

Calculate the no. of each atoms presents in 10 grams of calcium carbonate.

raketka [301]

Molar Mass of Calcium carbonate:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto CaCO_3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 40u+12u+3(16u)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 52u+48u$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 100u$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 100g/mol$

Given Mass=10g

$\boxed{\sf No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{10}{100}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=0.1mol$

Now

$\boxed{\sf No\:of\:molecules=No\;of\:moles\times Avagadro\: No}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.1\times 6.023\times 10^{23}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 6.023\times 10^{22}molecules$

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.

Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.

The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
