Ice usually forms on the top part of lakes not the bottom , the reason for this occurence is?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Ice is less dense than water because of the way it forms a hexagonal crystalline structure. Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to the bottom of an oxygen atom. ... In the winter, temperatures in a lake get close enough to freezing that the colder water is less dense and floats to the top

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.
max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

If you have a 1500 g aluminum pot, how much heat energy is needed to raise its temperature by 100°C?
Nataly [62]

The heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of aluminium pot by 100°C is 135 kJ.

The heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of copper pot by 100 °C is 57.75 kJ.

Explanation:

The heat energy required to raise the temperature of any body can be obtained from the specific heat formula. As this formula states that the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the body is directly proportional to the product of mass of the body, specific heat capacity of the material and temperature change experienced by the material.

So in this problem, the mass of the aluminium is given as m = 1500 g, the specific heat of the aluminium is 0.900 J/g °C. Then as it is stated that the temperature is raised by 100 °C, so the pots are heat to increase by 100 °C from its initial temperature. This means the difference in temperature will be 100°C (ΔT = 100°C).

Then, the heat energy required to raise the temperature will be

q = m*c*del T = 1500 * 0.900 * 100 = 135000 = 135 kJ

Thus, the heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of aluminium pot by 100 °C is 135 kJ.

Similarly, the mass of copper pot is given as 1500 g, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 and the difference in temperature is 100  °C.

Then, the heat energy required to raise its temperature will be

q = m*c*del T = 1500 * 0.385 * 100 = 57750 = 57.75 kJ

And the heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of copper pot by 100°C is 57.75 kJ.

So, the heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of aluminium pot by 100°C is 135 kJ. And the heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1500 g of copper pot by 100 °C is 57.75 kJ.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-
hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written betweenZn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)

First Formula would be ZnF_{2}

Second empirical formula is between Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)

Second Formula would be Zn_{2}O_{2}

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so Zn_{2}O_{2} would be written as ZnO

Third empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)

Third Formula would be :NiF_{4}

Forth empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)

Forth Formula would be : Ni_{2}O_{4} or NiO_{2}

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as NiO_{2}.

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}
