Because alcohol expands over small temp changes, hence while a vial of it is used in sprinklers as the stop plug; the room gets hotter, the plug shatters.

A 50.0g g sample of 16n decays to 12.5g in 14.4 seconds. What is its half life
mixas84 [53]
T is amount after time t 
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>

<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>

<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>log (At/Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>

<span>HL = t / [( log (At / Ao)) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / [ ( log (12.5 / 50) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / 2 = 7.2 seconds </span>

The ksp value for lead(ii chloride is 2.4 × 10?4. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii chloride?
charle [14.2K]
Molar solubility is number of moles of the solute that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated. 

The molar solubility of lead(ii) chloride with ksp value of 2.4 × 10e4 can be solve as: 

Ksp = s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s = √(2.4 × 10e4)
s =  154.9 mol/L

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 225 grams of ice from -26.8 °C to steam at 133 °C ?
lara [203]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

150000 J

<h3>General Formulas and Concepts:</h3>

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Thermodynamics</u>

Specific Heat Formula: q = mcΔT

  • <em>q</em> is heat (in J)
  • <em>m</em> is mass (in g)
  • <em>c</em> is specific heat (in J/g °C)
  • ΔT is change in temperature (in °C or K)

<u>Math</u>

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

[Given] <em>m</em> = 225 g

[Given] <em>c</em> = 4.184 J/g °C

[Given] ΔT = 133 °C - -26.8 °C = 159.8 °C

[Solve] <em>q</em>

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>q</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]:                                          q = (225 g)(4.184 J/g °C)(159.8 °C)
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                           q = (941.4 J/°C)(159.8 °C)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                           q = 150436 J

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

150436 J ≈ 150000 J
