Answer:

0.033g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since 11 mg per kilogram of body weight has the given lethality, the mg that turn out lethal for a chicken weighting 3 kg is computed by using a rule of three:

11mg\longrightarrow 1kg\\\\?\ \ \ \ \ \ \longrightarrow 3kg

Thus, we obtain:

?=\frac{3kg*11mg}{1kg}\\ \\?=33mg

That in grams is:

=33mg*\frac{1g}{1000mg} \\\\=0.033g

Regards.

A sample of H2SO4 contains 2.02 g of hydrogen, 32.07 g of sulfur, and 64.00 g of oxygen. How many grams of sulfur and grams of o
Gemiola [76]
From the chemical formula of sulfuric acid, we can see the molar ratio:

H : S : O 
2 : 1 : 4

Now, we convert the mass of hydrogen given into the moles of hydrogen. This is done using

Moles = mass / Mr
Moles = 7.27 / 1
Moles = 7.27

Therefore, the moles will be:

S = 7.27 / 2 = 3.64 moles
O = 7.27 * 2 = 14.54 moles

Now, the respective masses are:
S = 32 * 3.64 = 116.48 grams
O = 16 * 14.54 = 232.64 grams

A 0.2-mm-thick wafer of silicon is treated so that a uniform concentration gradient of antimony is produced. One surface contain
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

- 0.0249% Sb/cm

-1.2465 * 10^9 \frac{atoms}{cm^3.cm}

Explanation:

Given that:

One surface contains 1 Sb atom per  10⁸  Si atoms and the other surface contains 500 Sb atoms per  10⁸ Si atoms.

The concentration gradient in atomic percent (%) Sb  per cm can be calculated as follows:

The difference in concentration = \delta_c

The distance \delta_x = 0.2-mm = 0.02 cm

Now, the concentration of silicon at one surface containing  1 Sb atom per 10⁸ silicon atoms and at the outer surface that has 500 Sb atom per   10⁸ silicon atoms can be calculated as follows:

\frac{\delta_c}{\delta_c} = \frac{(1/10^8 -500/10^8)}{0.02cm} *100%

= - 0.0249% Sb/cm

b) The concentration (c_1) of Sb in atom/cm³ for the surface of 1 Sb atoms can be calculated by using the formula:

c_1 = \frac{(8 si atoms/unit cells)(1/10^3)}{(lattice parameter)^3/unit cell}

Lattice parameter = 5.4307 Å;  To cm ; we have

= 5.4307A^0* \frac{10^{-8}cm}{ A^0}

c_1 = \frac{(8 si atoms/unit cells)(1/10^8)}{(5.4307*10^{-8}cm)^3/unit cell}

= 0.00499*10^{17}atoms/cm^3

The concentration (c_2) of Sb in atom/cm³ for the surface of 500 Sb can be calculated as follows:

c_1 = \frac{(8 si atoms/unit cells)(500/10^8)}{(5.4307*10^{-8}cm)^3/unit cell}

   =  \frac{4*10^{-3}}{1.601*10^{-22}}

   = 2.4938*10^{17}atoms/cm^3

Finally, to calculate the concentration gradient

(\frac{\delta _c}{\delta_ x}) = \frac{c_1-c_2}{\delta_x}

(\frac{\delta _c}{\delta_ x}) = \frac{0.00499*10^{17}-2.493*10^{17}}{0.02}

= -1.2465 * 10^9 \frac{atoms}{cm^3.cm}

In redox half-reactions, a more positive standard reduction potential means I. the oxidized form has a higher affinity for elect
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The 1st and 4th options are correct

I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons

IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons

Explanation:

Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.

Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.

(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.

A common way of initiating certain chemical reactions with light involves the generation of free halogen atoms in solution. if δ
STatiana [176]

Answer: The longest wavelength of light that will produce free chlorine atoms in solution is 493 nm.

Explanation:

Cl_2\overset{h\nu}\rightarrow Cl^-,Delta H_{rxn}=242.8kJ/mol

Energy required to produce free chlorine atoms from one mole of chlorine gas :

= 242.8kJ = 242.8\times 1000=242800 Joules (1kJ=1000J)

1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules

For 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules = 242,800 Joules

For one molecule of chlorine gas =  \frac{242800 Joules/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=40,318.83\times 10^{-23}Joules

According to photoelectric equation:

E=h\nu=\frac{hc}{\Lambda }

E = Energy of the photon of light used to produce free chlorine atoms

\nu= frequency of the light used to produce free chlorine atoms

h = Planck's constant =6.626\times 10^{-34}J.s, c = speed of light=3\times 10^8 m/s

\lambda = wavelength of the light used to produce free chlorine atoms

40,318.83\times 10^{-23}J=\frac{hc}{\Lambda }=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{\lambda }

\lambda=0.0004930203\times 10^{-3} m=493.0203\times 10^{-9} m=493 nm

The longest wavelength of light that will produce free chlorine atoms in solution is 493 nm.
