6 0

Answer:

If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction

A large cyclotron directs a beam of He++ nuclei onto a target with a beam current of 0.250 mA. (a) How many He++ nuclei per seco

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. 7.8*10¹⁴ He⁺⁺ nuclei/s

b. 4000s

c. 7.7*10⁸s

Explanation:

I = 0.250mA = 2.5 * 10⁻³A

Q = 1.0C

1 e- contains 1.60 * 10⁻¹⁹C

But He⁺⁺ Carrie's 2 charge = 2 * 1.60*10⁻¹⁹C = 3.20*10⁻¹⁹C

(A).

No. Of charge per second = current passing through / charge

1 He⁺⁺ = 2.50 * 10⁻⁴ / 3.2*10⁻¹⁹C

1 He⁺⁺ = 7.8 * 10¹⁴ He⁺⁺ nuclei

(B).

I = Q / t

From this equation, we can determine the time it takes to transfer 1.0C

I = 1.0 / 2.5*10⁻⁴ = 4000s

(C).

Time it takes for 1 mol of He⁺⁺ to strike the target =?

Using Avogadro's ratio,

1.0 mole of He = (6.02 * 10²³ ions/mol ) * (1 / 7.81*10¹⁴ He ions)

Note : ions cancel out leaving the value of the answer in mols.

1.0 mol of He = 7.7 * 10⁸s

Is cobalt 60 more dangerous than bananas ( potassium 40) and why ?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.

Explanation:

While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.

The density of an aqueous solution of nitric acid is 1.64 g/mL and the concentration is 1.85 M. What is the concentration of thi

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Mass % of the solution = 7.1067 %

Explanation:

Given :

Molarity of nitric acid solution = 1.85 M

Density of the solution = 1.64 g/mL

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Lets, consider the volume of the solution = 1 L

Thus,

Moles of nitric acid present in the solution:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Moles of Nitric acid=Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

So,

Moles of Nitric acid = 1.85 moles

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

The mass of Nitric acid can be find out by using mole formula as:

$moles=\frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=Moles \times Molar mass}$

$Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=1.85 g \times 63 g/mol}$

Mass of Nitric acid = 116.55 g

Also,

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Given : Density = 1.64 g/mL

Also, 1 L = 10³ mL

Volume of the solution is 1000 mL

So, mass of the solution:

$Mass\ of\ the\ solution=Density \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Mass\ of\ the\ solution=1.64 g/mL \times {1000 mL}$

Mass of the solution = 1640 g

Mass % is defined as the mass of solute in 100 g of the solution. The formula for the calculation of mass % is shown below:

$Mass \% =\frac{Mass\ of\ the\ solute}{Mass\ of\ the\ solution} \times {100}$

So,

$Mass \%=\frac{116.55}{1640} \times {100}$

Mass % = 7.1067 %

2. How do we know if a hypothesis is scientific?

antoniya [11.8K]

The hypothesis can’t be a opinion or something that has nothing to do with your work

For example;if you want to see if your toilet paper is sturdy and you say “i think it will cause the commercial says it does” (wrong) answer would have to be “i infer that the toilet paper will be sturdy because it looks more resistant than other paper I’ve seen”

Please help thank you

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$K=1.7x10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by firstly setting up the equilibrium expression for the given reaction, in agreement to the law of mass action:

$K=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}$

Next, we plug in the given concentrations on the data table to obtain:

$K=\frac{(0.034)^2}{(0.69)(0.98)}\\\\K=1.7x10^{-3}$

Regards!
