The ability of water to draw itself up and hold the shape of a wave is the result of which physical property?

What does a red shift indicate about a galaxy?

Ad libitum [116K]

The only cause we know of that could shift the spectrum of a source toward longer wavelengths isthe source moving away from us. That's how we interpret the red shift when we see it, and that's where the whole idea of the expanding universe comes from. But ... just like gravity and the Earth going around the sun ... it can't be proved, so it's "only a theory".

Gas y effuses half as fast as o2. what is the molar mass of gas y?

devlian [24]

To solve this question, we will use Graham's law which states that:
(R1 / R2) ^ 2 = M2 / M1 where
R1 and R2 are the rates of effusion and M1 and M2 are the molar masses of the two gases.
From the periodic table, we can calculate the molar mass of O2 as follows:
molar mass of O2 = 2*16 = 32 grams

Therefore we have:
R1 / R2 = Ry / RO2 = 1/2
M1 is My we want to get
M2 is molar mass of O2 = 32 grams
Substitute in the above equation to get the molar mass of y as follows:
(1/2) ^2 = (32/My)
1/4 = 32/My
My = 32*4 = 128

Therefore, molar mass of gas y = 128 grams

Compare the solubility of silver chromate in each of the following aqueous solutions: Clear All 0.10 M AgCH3COO 0.10 M Na2CrO4 0

slavikrds [6]

Solution :

Comparing the solubility of silver chromate for the solutions :

$0.10 \ M \ AgCH_3COO$ ----- Less soluble than in pure water.

$0.10 \ M \ Na_2CrO_4$ ----- Less soluble than in pure water.

$0.10 \ M \ NH_4NO_3$ ----- Similar solubility as in the pure water

$0.10 \ M \ KCH_3COO$ ----- Similar solubility as in the pure water

The silver chromate dissociates to form :

$AgCrO_4 (s) \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+ (aq) +CrO_4^{2-}(aq)$

When 0.1 M of $AgCH_3COO^-$ is added, the equilibrium shifts towards the reverse direction due to the common ion effect of $Ag^+$ , so the solubility of $Ag_2CrO_4$ decreases.

Both $AgCH_3COO$ and $KCH_3COO$ are neutral mediums, so they do not affect the solubility.

If 9.85 grams of copper metal react with 31.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of copper nitrate can be formed and how ma

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:-

29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2 will be formed.

4.756 grams of AgNO3 will be left over when the reaction is complete.

Explanation:-

Atomic weight of Cu = 63.546 g mol -1

Molecular weight of AgNO3 = 107.87 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3

= 169.87 g mol-1

Number of moles of Copper = 9.85 gram / (63.546 g mol-1)

= 0.155 mol

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 31 gram / ( 169.87 g mol-1)

= 0.183 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

Cu + AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

According to the equation,

1 mole of Cu reacts with 1 mole of AgNO3.

∴0.155 mol of Cu react with 0.155 mol of AgNO3.

Number of moles of AgNO3 left over = 0.183-0.155=0.028 mol

Number of grams of AgNO3 left over = 0.028 mol x 169.87 grams mol-1

= 4.756 gram

Molecular weight of Cu(NO3)2 = 63.546 x 1 + (14 x 1 +16 x 3 ) x 2

=187.546 gram

Now from the balanced chemical equation,

1 Cu gives 1 Cu(NO3)2

∴ 63.546 g of Cu gives 187.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

9.85 grams pf Cu gives 187.546 x 9.85 / 64.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

= 29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2
