Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Hydrogen has a valency of +1 or -1. Its electronic configuration is 1s1.

The 1s sub-level (first shell) is known to hold two electrons. This means that hydrogen may either loose this one electron in the 1s level to yield H^+ or accept another electron into this 1s level to form H^- (the hydride ion).

The formation of the hydride ion completes the 1s orbital.

A large flask is evacuated and weighed, filled with argon gas, and then reweighed. When reweighed, the flask is found to have ga

Elden [556K]

Answer:

100.52

Explanation:

from the ideal gas equation PV=nRT

for a given container filled with any ideal gas P and V remains constant.So T is also constant.R is as such a constant.

So n i.e no of moles will also be constant.

no of moles of Ar=3.224/40=0.0806

no of moles of unknown gas=0.0806

molecular wt of unknown gas=8.102/0.0806=100.52

A flask contains 1/3 mole of h2 and 2/3 mol of he. Compare the force on the wall per impact of h2 relative to that for he.

densk [106]

The force on the wall is actually the pressure exerted by gas molecules

Higher the pressure more the force exerted on the walls of container

The pressure depends upon the number of molecules of a gas

In a mixture of gas the pressure depends upon the mole fraction of the gas

As given the mole fraction of He is more than that of H2 therefore He will exert more pressure on the wall

The ratio of impact will be

H2 / He = 2/3 / 1/3 = 2: 1

Give the number of significant figures in this number: 40.00

Tatiana [17]

A significant figure is every symbol that made the number itself.

In this case, the number 40.00 has four figures but only two of them are significant 40, this is because you haven't got any more decimals than the first zero.

If you have a case with zeros in front, you take to the first non zero digits.

For example, 0.071004 you wold express as 0.071 and those 7, and 1 are the significant ones.

The data in the table below were obtained for the reaction: 2clo2 (aq) + 2 oh- (aq) --> clo3- (aq) + clo2- (aq) + h2o (l) exp

Lets organise the data given in the question
[ClO₂] (m) [OH⁻] (m) initial rate (m/s)
 0.060 0.030 0.0248
 0.020 0.030 0.00276
 0.020 0.090 0.00828
rate equation as follows
rate = k [ClO₂]ᵃ [OH⁻]ᵇ
where k - rate constant
we need to find order with respect to ClO₂ therefore lets take the 2 equations where OH⁻ is constant.
1) 0.00276 = k [0.020]ᵃ[0.030]ᵇ
2) 0.0248 = k [0.060]ᵃ[0.030]ᵇ
divide first equation from the second
0.0248/0.00276 = [0.060/0.020]ᵇ
8.99 = 3ᵇ
8.99 rounded off to 9
9 = 3ᵇ
b = 2
order with respect to ClO₂ is 2

Crime scene investigators keep a wide variety of compounds on hand to help with identifying unknown substances they find in the

Sergio039 [100]

So 100 g of this substance has 63.57 g of carbon, 6 g of hydrogen, 9.267 of nitrogen, and 21.17 of oxygen. I need to have them all in moles (n). You can find the molar mass (M) of each element in a periodic table.

n = m/M
63.57 g C -> 63.57 g C/12.01 g/mol = 5.29 moles C
6 g H -> 6 g C/1.008 g/mol = 5.95 moles H
9.267 g N -> 9.267 g N/14.01 g/mol = 0.6615 moles N
21.17 g O -> 21.17/16.00 g/mol = 1.32 moles O

So the minimum formula has this rate:

C 5.29 H 5.95 N 0.6615 O 1.32

Now you should divide all those numbers by the smallest one (1.32):

C 4 H 4.5 N 0.5 0 1

Now it looks a lot more like a molecular formula… but we still have fractions.

Let’s multiply all numbers by 2:

C8H9N1O2

Now they are all whole numbers!

So the minimum formula is C8H9NO2

The minimum formula is not always equal to the molecular formula… but in this case, I found there is a molecular formula with this same numbers, and it’s called acetaminophen.
