Answer:

Explanation:

okay, you need to look at the structures of the particles of matter in the solid, liquid and gas.

particles in a solid are in fixed positions, where they can only vibrate in those positions ( take a look at ice, or rather, a brick)
liquids have very small or rather, no spaces between them, but they can slide or rub against each other, like people in a really tight crowd I guess
gas particles have very large spaces between them and they move randomly. these exibit what's called brownian motion.

since water particles (and all other liquid particles) have negligible spacings and limited movement, that allows the dye particles to move from a region of high concentration to that of a low concentration. the aim for this is for the mixture/solution to reach an equilibrium, that is the mixture must get to a point where all regions have the same concentration of the dye.

you can refer to your coursebooks :)

correct where wrong please:)

In the laboratory, hydrogen gas is usually made by the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) How many liters

IrinaK [193]

Answer: The volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of zinc = 5.566 g

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of zinc}=\frac{5.566g}{65.4g/mol}=0.0851mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Zn(s)+2HCl(aq.)\rightarrow H_2(g)+ZnCl_2(aq.)$

As, HCl is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Zinc is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

So, 0.0851 moles of zinc will produce = $\frac{1}[1}\times 0.0851=0.0851mol$ of hydrogen gas

To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water = (752 - 18.65) mmHg = 733.35 mmHg

V = Volume of the hydrogen gas

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0851 moles

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = $21^oC=[21+273]K=294K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$733.35mmHg\times V=0.0851mol\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\\\V=\frac{0.0851\times 62.3637\times 294}{733.35}=2.13L$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

Difference between Atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass :-

<h3>Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- Carbon 12 , carbon 13 and carbon 14 have different atomic mass. 
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3>Relative Atomic mass :-</h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3>Average Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

An asteroid hit the Yucatán Peninsula about 65 million years ago,

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.
