Chemistry
1 answer:
Soloha48 [4]2 years ago

Answer:

A fast-moving wet slurry consisting of a mixture of water and volcaniclastic debris is termed a lahar

Explanation:

A lahar is a debris flow or mud-flow that consists of a mixture of volcanic material, rock particles and water, flowing typically along a river valley down from a volcano

Lahars can be either from either pyroclastic flows or heavy rainfall after a volcanic eruption

Lahars are hazardous as they can result in destruction, severe damage destroying buildings and some times entire small towns are wiped out. This is more so as they move silently and very fast down to the valleys

Calculate the amount, in moles, of PO43- present at equilibrium when excess Sr3(PO4)2 is added to 750. mL 1.2 M Sr(NO3)2(aq). As
Crank

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol  

Explanation:

(a) Calculate the solubility of the Sr₃(PO₄)₂

Let s = the solubility of Sr₃(PO₄)₂.

The equation for the equilibrium is

Sr₃(PO₄)₂(s) ⇌ 3Sr²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq); Ksp = 1.0 × 10⁻³¹

                         1.2 + 3s          2s

K_{sp} =\text{[Sr$^{2+}$]$^{3}$[PO$_{4}^{3-}$]$^{2}$} = (1.2 + 3s)^{3}\times (2s)^{2} =  1.0 \times 10^{-31}\\\text{Assume } 3s \ll 1.2\\1.2^{3} \times 4s^{2} = 1.0 \times 10^{-31}\\6.91s^{2} = 1.0 \times 10^{-31}\\s^{2} = \dfrac{1.0 \times 10^{-31}}{6.91} = 1.45 \times 10^{-32}\\\\s = \sqrt{ 1.45 \times 10^{-32}} = 1.20 \times 10^{-16} \text{ mol/L}\\

(b) Concentration of PO₄³⁻

[PO₄³⁻] = 2s = 2 × 1.20× 10⁻¹⁶ mol·L⁻¹ = 2.41× 10⁻¹⁶ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Moles of PO₄³⁻

Moles = 0.750 L × 2.41 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol·L⁻¹ = 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁶ mol

In the adjoining figure, the circles with the + sign represent protons and the empty circles represent neutrons. Determine which
Natali [406]

Answer: option C. 2 and 3.

Explanation:

1) Isotopes are atoms of a same element with different number of neutrons. That means that the isotopes of a same element have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what identify an element.

2) For example, all the atoms of oxygen have 8 protons. But isotope oxygen-16 has 8 neutrons, while oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.

3) In the figure there are 3 different atoms:

i) atom # 1 has 5 protons and 7 neutrons

ii) atom # 2 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons

iii) atom # 3 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

4) Hence the atoms with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons are the #2 and the # 3. So, they are the isotopes of the same element.

What is the name of the functional group that is attached to this hydrocarbon? The first and last of a chain of three carbons ar
disa [49]

Answer:

Ketone

Explanation:

As you are stating here, we have a carbonated chain of three carbons, and the first and last has 3 Hydrogens, then this means that we have CH₃ . The center carbon is a carbon double bonded to oxygen.

In general terms this belongs to the carbonyl group. However, this alone does not represent a functional group, but when it's in a chain with other radycals or chains, it becomes a functional group.

In this case, the molecule you are talking here is the following:

CH₃ - CO - CH₃

This molecule is known as the Acetone, and has the general form of:

R - CO - R'

Which belongs to a ketone as a functional group.

Which of the following compounds has polar covalent bonds: NaBr, Br2, HBr, and CBr4?
svetlana [45]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A bond that is formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another results in the formation of an ionic bond.

For example, NaBr will be an ionic compound as there is transfer of electron from Na to Br.

Whereas a bond that is formed by sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, CBr_{4} will be a covalent compound as there is sharing of electron between carbon and bromine atom.

Also, when electrons are shared between the combining atoms and there is large difference in electronegativity of these atoms then partial charges develop on these atoms. As a result, it forms a polar covalent bond.

For example, in a HBr compound there is sharing of electrons between H and Br. Also, due to difference in electronegativity there will be partial positive charge on H and partial negative charge on Br.  

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HBr is the only compound that has polar covalent bonds.
