Answer: D) 36.0 km/hr, downstream

Explanation:

For downstream motion of the boat, the actual velocity of the boat is the sum of velocity of the water current and the velocity of the boat due to pushed by wind.

Velocity of water current, v = 15 km/h

Velocity of the boat going downstream, u = 21 km/h

Actual velocity of the boat = v'

v' = v + u

⇒v' = 15 km/h + 21 km/h

⇒u = 21 km/h +15 km/h = 36.0 km/h downstream

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

CH3CN major species present when dissolved in water
Margaret [11]

Answer: CH₃CN and H₂O.

Explanation:

1) The spieces present in a solution may be either the molecules, in case of covalent compounds, or ions, in case of ionic compounds that dissociate (ionize).

2) Both, CH₃CN and H₂O are covalent (polar covalent) substances, so they do not ionize and the spieces in the solution are the molecules per se.

3) In solution, the molecules of H₂O will solvate the molecules of CH₃CN, meaning that H₂O molecules are able to separate the molecules of CH₃N from each other, and so every molecule of CH₃CN will end surrounded by many molecules of H₂O.

This happens because the interaction between the polar molecules of the two different compounds is strong enough to overcome the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the same compound.

Calculate the mass (in grams) of cobalt that has the same number of atoms as 521 mg of silicon.
denis23 [38]
The atomic mass of silicon is 28 g/mol.
Therefore, 521 mg or 0.521 g will be equivalent to;
  0.521/28 = 0.01861 mooles
Atomic mass of cobalt is 27 g/mol
According to Avogadro's law the mass of cobalt that will have the same atom as 52 mg of silicon will be ;
(0.01861 moles × 27) = 0.5024 g or 502.4 mg

When a sample of a gas is heated in a sealed, rigid container from 200. K to 400. K, the pressure exerted by the gas is:
gavmur [86]
When a sample of a gas is heated in a sealed, rigid container from 200 degree Kelvin to 400 degree Kelvin, the pressure exerted by the gas is increased by a factor 2. Heating any gas actually increases the volume of the gas within a container. As the temperature of the gas rises, the molecules of the gas start moving faster and start striking the walls of the container in which it is kept with more force. The volume of the container tries to expand to accommodate the fast colliding molecules of the gas.

Calculate the molar solubility of mercury (I) bromide, Hg2Br2, in 1.0 M KBr. The Ksp for Hg2Br2 is 5.6 X 10−23. (Hint: How would
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The correct answer is 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M.

Explanation:

As a highly soluble salt, KBr dissolves easily in water, while Hg₂Br₂ is very less soluble in comparison to KBr.

Let the solubility of Hg₂Br₂ is S mol per liter.

Therefore,

KBr (s) (1.0 M) ⇒ K⁺ (aq) (1M) + Br⁻ (aq) (1M)

Hg₂Br₂ (s) (1-S) ⇔ Hg₂⁺ (aq) (S) + 2Br⁻ (aq) (2S)

Net [Br-] = (2S + 1) M

Ksp = S (2S + 1)²

Ksp = S (4S² + 1 + 4S)

Ksp = 4S³ + S + 4S²

As the solubility is extremely less, therefore, we can ignore S² and S³. Now,

Ksp = S = 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M

Hence, the solubility of Hg₂Br₂ is 5.6 × 10⁻²³ M.
