Answer: The final temperature in Kelvin is 1488

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1\text{ and }T_1[/tex] are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

[tex]P_2\text{ and }T_2[/tex] are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

[tex]P_1=0.89atm\\T_1=35^0C=(35+273)K=308K\\P_2=4.3atm\\T_2=?[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\frac{0.89}{308}=\frac{4.3}{T_2}\\\\T_2=1488K[/tex]

Hence, the final temperature in Kelvin is 1488

Answer:

P2 = 1250mmHg

Explanation:

V1 = 5.0L

P1 = 750mmHg

V2 = 3.0L

P2 = ?

According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

P = k/V k = P*V

P1*V1 = P2*V2 = P3*V3 =........=Pn*Vn

P1 *V1 = P2 * V2

Solve for P2

P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2

P2 = (750 * 5.0) / 3.0

P2 = 3750 / 3

P2 = 1250mmHg

The final pressure of the gas is 1250mmHg

Answer: I hoped this helped, all I had to do was Google it though

Answer:

670.68°C

Explanation:

Given that:

volume of water = 50 ml but 1 g = 1 ml. Therefore the mass of water (m) = 50 ml × 1 g / ml = 50 g

specific heat (C) = 4.184 J/g˚C

Initial temperature = 20°C, final temperature = 22°C. Therefore the temperature change ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 22 - 20 = 2°C

The quantity of heat (Q) used to raise the temperature of a body is given by the equation:

Q = mCΔT

Substituting values:

Q = 50 g × 4.184 J/g˚C × 2°C = 418.4 J

Since the mass of lead = 5 g and specific heat = 0.129 J/g˚C. The heat used to raise the temperature of water is the same heat used to raise the temperature of lead.

-Q = mCΔT

-418.4 J = 5 g × 0.129 J/g˚C × ΔT

ΔT = -418.4 J / ( 5 g × 0.129 J/g˚C) = -648 .68°C

temperature change ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

- 648 .68°C = 22°C - Initial Temperature

Initial Temperature = 22 + 648.68 = 670.68°C

Explanation:

Final answer:

Potassium chloride consists of potassium and chloride ions, each with a 1+ and 1- charge, respectively, forming the formula KCl. Potassium oxide requires two potassium ions to balance the 2- charge of the oxide ion, resulting in the formula K₂O.

Explanation:

The reason why potassium chloride has the formula KCl but potassium oxide has the formula K₂O is based on the charges of the ions each metal and nonmetal forms. Potassium (K) forms a cation with a 1+ charge, while chloride (Cl) forms an anion with a 1- charge. To balance the charges, one potassium ion will pair with one chloride ion, resulting in the formula KCl, which has a neutral overall charge.

On the other hand, oxygen (O) forms an oxide anion with a 2- charge. To balance the charges, two potassium ions with a 1+ charge each are needed for every one oxide ion. This results in the chemical formula K₂O, as the two potassium ions balance out the charge of the one oxide ion, making the overall compound electrically neutral.

To find the number of atoms present in 55 grams of iron, we need to convert grams to moles and then use Avogadro's number to convert moles to atoms.

To find the number of atoms present in 55 grams of iron, we need to convert grams to moles and then use Avogadro's number to convert moles to atoms. The molar mass of iron is 55.8 g/mol. Therefore, 55 grams of iron is equal to:

55 g / 55.8 g/mol = 0.986 moles of iron.

Since 1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) of particles, the number of atoms in 0.986 moles of iron is:

0.986 mol x (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 5.93 x 10^23 atoms of iron.

https://brainly.com/question/12898212

#SPJ3

There are [tex]$\boxed{1.20 \times 10^{24}}$[/tex] atoms of iron present in 55 grams of iron.

To determine the number of atoms in 55 grams of iron, we follow these steps:

1. First, we need to know the molar mass of iron. The molar mass of iron (Fe) is approximately 55.845 grams per mole.

2. Next, we use Avogadro's number, which is [tex]$6.022 \times 10^{23}$[/tex] atoms per mole, to find the number of atoms in one mole of iron.

3. Now, we calculate the number of moles in 55 grams of iron by dividing the mass of iron by its molar mass:

[tex]\[ \text{moles of iron} = \frac{\text{mass of iron}}{\text{molar mass of iron}} = \frac{55 \text{ g}}{55.845 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 1 \text{ mol} \][/tex]

4. Finally, we multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number to find the total number of atoms:

[tex]\[ \text{number of atoms} = \text{moles of iron} \times \text{Avogadro's number} \] \[ \text{number of atoms} \approx 1 \text{ mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms/mol} \] \[ \text{number of atoms} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms} \][/tex]

Since we have approximately 1 mole of iron, the number of atoms is approximately equal to Avogadro's number. Therefore, there are approximately [tex]$1.20 \times 10^{24}$[/tex] atoms of iron in 55 grams of iron, considering the minor rounding in the molar mass.

Final answer:

If PCl5 is removed from the equilibrium PCl5(g) = PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), the equilibrium will shift to the left to replace the removed PCl5, according to Le Châtelier's Principle.

Explanation:

Using the equation PCl5(g) = PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), if PCl5 is removed, the equilibrium will shift toward the left to replace the removed PCl5. This is because, according to Le Châtelier's Principle, when a component of a reaction at equilibrium is removed, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that tends to replace that component. In this reaction, removing PCl5 decreases its concentration, thus the system shifts left to increase its concentration by converting PCl3 and Cl2 back into PCl5.

Answer:

A GALAXY WIITH I YHINK MANY

Explanation:

Answer:

32.4 grams of K3N will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of potassium = 29.0 grams

Mass of barium nitride = 66.5 grams

Atomic mass of potassium = 39.10 g/mol

Molar mass of barium nitride = 440 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

6K + Ba3N2 → 2K3N + 3Ba

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles K = 29.0 grams / 39.10 g/mol

Moles K = 0.742 moles

Moles Ba3N2 = 66.5 grams / 440 g/mol

Moles Ba3N2 = 0.151 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 6 moles K we need 1 mol Ba3N2 to produce 2 moles K3N and 3 moles Ba

K is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.742 moles). Ba3N2 is in excess. There will react 0.742/ 6 = 0.124 moles

There will remain 0.151 - 0.124 = 0.027 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles K3N

For 6 moles K we need 1 mol Ba3N2 to produce 2 moles K3N and 3 moles Ba

For 0.742 moles K we'll have 0.742/3 = 0.247 moles K3N

Step 6: Calculate mass K3N

Mass K3N = moles K3N * molar mass K3N

Mass K3N = 0.247 moles * 131.3 g/mol

Mass K3N = 32.4 grams

32.4 grams of K3N will be produced

The question contains a chemical inconsistency regarding potassium nitride. Instead, we reviewed typical precipitation and double displacement reactions where the mass of products and excess reactants are calculated using the principle of limiting reactants and stoichiometry.

The question asks for the mass of potassium nitride produced when potassium reacts with barium nitride. However, this appears to be an error because potassium nitride is not a common compound, and the reaction given is not between potassium and barium nitride. Instead, we can examine a more typical reaction based on the provided examples, which involve precipitation and double displacement reactions.

For the reaction Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → PbI2 (s) + 2 KNO3 (aq), the limiting reactant principle is applied, whereby the reactant that produces the least amount of product is the limiting reactant. To calculate this, one would first determine the number of moles of each reactant using their respective molar masses, then apply the stoichiometric ratios from the balanced equation.

Similarly, to find out the excess reactant and the mass of products in other reactions such as the reaction between KOH and HNO3, you would apply the same principles to arrive at the desired masses.

[tex]PV=K[/tex]

K is constant

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{13.3\times 1.41}{1.02}\\\\V_2=18.38\ L[/tex]

So, the final volume is 18.38 L.

Answer: [tex]Na[/tex] is in excess.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of} Na=\frac{20.5g}{23g/mol}=0.89moles[/tex]

[tex]2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)[/tex]

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of [tex]Cl_2[/tex]  require 2 moles of [tex]Na[/tex]

Thus 0.29 moles of [tex]Cl_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.29=0.58moles[/tex] of [tex]Na[/tex]

Thus [tex]Cl_2[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]Na[/tex] is the excess reagent.

The reaction quotient, Qsp, for calcium fluoride when 125.0 mL of a 0.00615 M solution of Ca(NO3)2 is added to 330.0 mL of a 0.00615 M solution of KF is 0.000034 M^3.

The question requires the calculation of the reaction quotient, Qsp, for calcium fluoride (CaF2) which is the indexing of a point in time during the reaction. The formula for this reaction is [Ca+]^n [F-]^m. Given that we are mixing a 125.0 mL of 0.00615 M solution of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) with a 330.0 mL of 0.00615 M solution of potassium fluoride (KF), we have to first calculate the volume of the total solution which becomes 125+330 = 455 mL or 0.455 L. The concentrations of Ca^2+ and F^- are given by the molarity of the Ca(NO3)2 and KF solutions respectively. Thus, Qsp = [Ca^2+]{2}[F^-]{2}.

Here, [Ca2+] = [0.00615 M *(125/455)] = 0.0017 M and [F-] = [0.00615 M *(330/455)] = 0.0045 M. Qsp = (0.0017)(0.0045)^2 = 0.000034 M^3. So, the reaction quotient, Qsp, for calcium fluoride (CaF2) equals 0.000034.

The Qsp of calcium fluoride when 125.0 mL of a 0.00615 M solution of Ca(NO3)2 is added to 330.0 mL of a 0.00615 M solution of KF is calculated to be 3.47 x 10^-11 by first finding the molarity of each ion in the solution and then using these molarity values in the equation for Qsp.

First, we find the total volume of the mixture which is 455.0 mL (125.0 mL + 330.0 mL). To find the molarity of each ion, we divide the moles of each ion by the total volume. Given that each ion comes from a 0.00615 M solution, the moles of each ion (Ca²+ and F¯) are (0.00615 mol/L)(0.125 L) and (0.00615 mol/L)(0.33 L) respectively. The molarity of these ions then comes out to be 0.00170 M for Ca²+ and 0.00451 M for F¯.

Next, we obtain the Qsp which is calculated similar to Ksp by multiplying the concentrations of the dissolved ions raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. However, unlike Ksp, the ion concentrations are not necessarily equilibrium values. For calcium fluoride, CaF2, it dissolves into one Ca²+ ion and two F¯ ions. So, Qsp = [Ca²+][F¯]² = (0.00170)(0.00451)² = 3.47 x 10^-11.

Answer:

The work done is 2,907 J

Explanation:

Work is one of the forms of energy transmission between bodies. To perform a job, you must exert a force on a body and it moves. In other words, when a force is applied to a body and it moves, work is done.

The work is equal to the product of the force by the distance and by the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that the moving point or object travels:

W = F * d * cos α

In the International System of Units the Force is expressed in newtons and the distance in meters, so the work will have units of newtons. Meter = joules (J).

In this case:

Replacing:

W= 255 N* 11.4 m* cos 0

Solving:

W= 255 N* 11.4 m* 1

W= 2,907 J

The work done is 2,907 J

The work done by the sailor is 2907 joules (J).

To calculate the work done by the sailor, we can use the formula for work:

[tex]\[\text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \times \cos(\theta)\][/tex]

where:

- [tex]\(\text{Force}\)[/tex] is the force exerted by the sailor,

- [tex]\(\text{Distance}\)[/tex] is the distance over which the force is applied,

- [tex]\(\theta\)[/tex] is the angle between the force and the direction of movement.

If the force is applied in the direction of the movement, [tex]\(\theta = 0\)[/tex] degrees and [tex]\(\cos(0) = 1\)[/tex].

Given:

- [tex]\(\text{Force} = 255 \, \text{N}\)[/tex]

- [tex]\(\text{Distance} = 11.4 \, \text{m}\)[/tex]

- [tex]\(\theta = 0\)[/tex] degrees (assuming the force is in the direction of the movement)

Substitute these values into the formula:

[tex]\[\text{Work} = 255 \, \text{N} \times 11.4 \, \text{m} \times \cos(0)\][/tex]

[tex]\[\text{Work} = 255 \, \text{N} \times 11.4 \, \text{m} \times 1\][/tex]

[tex]\[\text{Work} = 2907 \, \text{J}\][/tex]

Answer:

C B A D

Explanation:

1. A) Products that start a new reaction are released.

2. C) liquid sodium or water

3. C) fusion

4. B) It speeds up the reaction.

1. In a chain reaction, the products of one reaction are capable of initiating further reactions. Specifically, in a nuclear chain reaction, the fission of a heavy nucleus (such as uranium-235) releases neutrons, which can then go on to cause the fission of other nuclei. This is a self-sustaining series of reactions where the products (neutrons) start new reactions. Hence, option A is correct.

 2. Nuclear reactors can use different types of coolants to transfer the heat generated by the nuclear reactions to the turbines or to the environment. The most common coolants are water (in light-water reactors) and liquid sodium (in fast-breeder reactors). Therefore, option C, which states  liquid sodium or water,  is the correct answer.

 3. A reaction where smaller atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus is known as fusion. This is different from fission, which is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons in atoms or molecules, not the combining or splitting of atomic nuclei. Ionization is the process of adding or removing charged particles to or from an atom or molecule, but it does not involve the combining or splitting of nuclei. Thus, the correct answer is option C, fusion.

 4. Neutron absorption is a critical part of the operation of a nuclear reactor. When a neutron is absorbed by a fissile nucleus (like uranium-235), it can cause that nucleus to become unstable and split, releasing energy and more neutrons. This process is what sustains the chain reaction in a nuclear reactor. The absorption of neutrons by fissile material effectively speeds up the reaction by increasing the rate of fission events. Therefore, option B,  It speeds up the reaction,  is the correct answer."

Answer:

  B. NO

Explanation:

In each mole of NO, the weight of the oxygen is 16.00 g; the weight of the nitrogen is 14.01 g. Then in 80 g of NO, we have 42.65 g of oxygen and 37.35 g of nitrogen.

__

In each mole of NO₂, the weight of the oxygen is 2(16.00) = 32 g. The weight of the nitrogen is 1(14.01) = 14.01 g.

From the available oxygen, we can produce ...

 (42.65 g +16 g)/(32.00 g/mol) = 1.83 mol of NO₂

From the available nitrogen, we can produce ...

 (37.35 g)/(14.01 g/mol) = 2.67 mol of NO₂

Clearly, the reaction is limited by the amount of available oxygen.

The reason why scientists are concerned about the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels is because CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases help keep the Earth warm. They trap infrared radiation, or heat energy. This makes them useful at certain levels; but if there is too much of them, they will cause global warming rates to increase, melting ice packs, thereby causing rising sea levels. Rising sea levels are a major threat tp humanity right now. New projections and satellite readings suggest that more than 150 million people's homes will be submerged by 2050, with some cities even being completely submerged. Other than rising sea levels, excessive amounts of greenhouse gases also cause loss of biodiversity, changes in wildlife behavior, and shifts in periodic biological phenomena.
