Answer :

There is the commercial-grade, which is 70% strength in water, and it's pretty nasty stuff. It'll chew through your lab coat and give you burns you'll regret, as you'd expect from something that's rather stronger than nitric or sulfuric acid.

But it has other properties. The perchlorate anion is in a high oxidation state, and what goes up, must come down. A rapid drop in oxidation state, as chemists know, is often accompanied by loud noises and flying debris, particularly when the products formed are gaseous and have that pesky urge to expand. If you take the acid up to water-free concentrations, which is most highly not recommended, you'll probably want to wear chain mail, because it's tricky stuff. You can even go further and distill out the perchloric anhydride (dichlorine heptoxide) if you have no sense whatsoever. It's a liquid with a boiling point of around 80 C, and I'd like to shake the hand of whoever determined that property, assuming he has one left.

Here we go ~

Energy difference btween the two electronic states can be expressed as :

${ \qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \Delta E = h\nu}$

[ h = planks constant, ${\: \nu }$ = frequency ]

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:214.68 = 39.79 \times 10 {}^{ - 14} \times \nu$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \nu = \cfrac{214.68}{39.79 \times 10 {}^{ - 4} }$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \nu = \cfrac{214.68}{39.79 } \times 10 {}^{14}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \nu \approx 5.395 \times10 {}^{14} \:\:hertz$

Jerry listed the following process on his notebook:

topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The dew is formed when the water vapor at the atmosphere contacts the leaves, which are at a low temperature, so, the vapor temperature decreases, and the liquid is formed. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

2. Ice cubes are at the solid-state, thus this transformation is solid to a liquid change.

3. The cold juice is at a low temperature, so when the water vapor of the air contacts with the glass, its temperature decreases, and its change to a liquid phase. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

4. The evaporated water from the Earth's surface goes to the atmosphere, and, at high altitudes, the temperature is low, so the water vapor condenses and the drops get closer together forming the clouds. So, it's a gas to a liquid change.

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$\frac{P}{T} =k$

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

$\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}$
