In which state(s) of matter are the particles free to move at Gut relative to one another?

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?

myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.

sp2606 [1]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

While ethanol is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene with water vapor at elevated temperatures.

A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 1.5 L flask at 12°C with 1.8 atm of ethylene gas and 4.7 atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 1.16 atm of ethylene gas and 4.06 atm of water vapor.

The engineer then adds another 1.2 atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.8 atm

Initial partial pressure of water vapor = 4.7 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.16 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor = 4.06 atm

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethylene gas and water vapor follows:

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 1.8 4.7

At eqllm: 1.8-x 4.7-x

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (1.8-x)=1.16\\\\x=0.64$

The expression of $K_p$ for above equation follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CH_3CH_2OH}}{p_{CH_2CH_2}\times p_{H_2O}}$

$p_{CH_2CH_2}=1.16atm\\p_{H_2O}=4.06atm\\p_{CH_3CH_2OH}=0.64atm$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_p=\frac{0.64}{1.16\times 4.06}\\\\K_p=0.136$

When more ethylene is added, the equilibrium gets re-established.

Partial pressure of ethylene added = 1.2 atm

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 2.36 4.06 0.64

At eqllm: 2.36-x 4.06-x 0.64+x

Putting value in the equilibrium constant expression, we get:

$0.136=\frac{(0.64+x)}{(2.36-x)\times (4.06-x)}\\\\x=0.363,13.41$

Neglecting the value of x = 13.41 because equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene and water vapor will become negative, which is not possible.

So, equilibrium partial pressure of ethanol = (0.64 + x) = (0.64 + 0.363) = 1.003 atm

Hence, the partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

A monoprotic weak acid when dissolved in water is 0.66% dissociated and produces a solution with a pH of 3.04. Calculate the Ka

raketka [301]

Answer:

Ka = 6.02x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻]/[HA]

We calculate [H⁺] from the pH:

pH = -log[H⁺]

[H⁺] = $10^{-pH}$

[H⁺] = 9.12x10⁻⁴ M

Keep in mind that [H⁺]=[A⁻].

As for [HA], we know the acid is 0.66% dissociated, in other words:

[HA] * 0.66/100 = [H⁺]

We calculate [HA]:

[HA] = 0.138 M

Finally we calculate the Ka:

Ka = $\frac{[9.12x10^{-4}]*[9.12x10^{-4}]}{[0.138]}$ = 6.02x10⁻⁶
