Answer:

Freeze wedging is caused by the repeated freeze-thaw. Frost wedging occurs as the result of 9% expansion of water when it is converted to ice. Cracks filled with water are forced further apart when it freezes.

A flashbulb of volume 2.70 mL contains O2(g) at a pressure of 2.30 atm and a temperature of 30.0 °C. How many grams of O2(g) doe
Sholpan [36]
P = 2.30 atm

Volume in liter = 2.70 mL / 1000 => 0.0027 L

Temperature in K = 30.0 + 273 => 303 K

R = 0.082 atm

molar mass O2 = 31.9988 g/mol

number of moles O2 :

P * V = n * R* T

2.30 * 0.0027 = n * 0.082 * 303

0.00621 = n * 24.846

n = 0.00621 / 24.846

n = 0.0002499 moles of O2

Mass of O2:

n = m / mm

0.0002499 = m / 31.9988

m = 0.0002499 * 31.9988

m = 0.008 g

A substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio, or proportion, is called a ___.
snow_lady [41]
Hey there!

The correct answer to your question is a compound.

A substance of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio, or proportion, is called a compound.
This is because compounds are made of two or more elements. Table salt is an example of a compound because it is made up of the elements chlorine and sodium.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

How many xenon atoms are contained in 1.00 moles of xenon?
joja [24]

Answer:

6.022 x 10²³

Explanation:

The number of atoms =  the number of moles x with the Avogadro's number.

(The Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / moles)

number of atoms = 1.00 moles x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / mole

number of atoms =  6.022 x 10²³ atoms

(There is no need to simplify?) = 6.022 x 10²³

(ps. This is my first time doing this question so im sorry if i got it wrong

When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.81 g Pb

Explanation:

When a lead acid car battery is recharged, the following half-reactions take place:

Cathode: PbSO₄(s) + H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ → Pb(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq)  

Anode: PbSO₄(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → PbO₂(s) + HSO₄⁻(aq) + 3H⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 mole of Pb(s) is deposited when 2 moles of e⁻ circulate.
  • The molar mass of Pb is 207.2 g/mol
  • 1 mol of e⁻ has a charge of 96468 c (Faraday's constant)

Suppose a current of 96.0A is fed into a car battery for 37.0 seconds. The mass of lead deposited is:

37.0s.\frac{96.0c}{s} .\frac{1mole^{-} }{96468c} .\frac{1molPb}{2mole^{-} } .\frac{207.2gPb}{1molPb} =3.81gPb

Can somebody plz answer this question only in 1-2 sentences! That would be great thanks so much :)

Pure substances are substances which are homogenous in nature. They either consists of atoms of 1 kind or molecules of 1 kind. Atoms are seen in elements, where as molecules are seen in compounds like Acids, Bases, etc.

They mostly have fixed properties like boiling and melting points and are uniform in nature. :D
