An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered

off, the pH is adjusted to about 1 and H2S is bubbled in; a precipitate again forms. After filtering off this precipitate, the pH is adjusted to 8 and H2S is again added; no precipitate forms. No precipitate forms upon addition of (NH4)2HPO4. The remaining solution shows a yellow color in a flame test.
Based on these observations, which of the following compounds might be present, which are definitely present, and which are definitely absent.
CdS, Pb(NO3)2, HgO, ZnSO4, Cd(NO3)2, and Na2SO4

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.

A substance has a density of 4.5gmL. What is this in kgL? Report your answer with two significant figures.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

4.5 kg/L

Explanation:

Density is 4.5g/mL and it means that in 1 mL of volume, the mass contained is 4.5 g.

Let's make a rule of three

1L = 1000 mL

1 mL has a mass of 4.5 g

1000 mL would have 4500 g

Our new density would be 4500 g/L, but we may convert the g to kg

1 kg / 1000 g . 4500 g = 4.5 kg

In conclusion 4.5 g/mL = 4.5 kg/L

Select all true statements about hybridization, of a second-row element, changing from sp2 to sp3. (max of 3 choices) a. The ato
Neko [114]

Answer:

a. The atom will go from a two-dimensional configuration to a three dimensional configuration.

d. The bond angle will increase.

f. The number of unhybridized p orbitals will decrease.

Explanation:

Sp2 is the atomic bond in which orbitals mixes with only two orbitals. These orbitals form three sp2. When two carbon atoms are overlapped they form sigma bond by overlapping of sp2 bonds. Sp3 bond is created when there is one lone molecule available for combination. When the bonding is updated from sp2 to sp3 then unhybridized orbitals will decrease causing the bond angle to increase.

Heptane (C7H16) and octane (C8H18) are constitutents of gasoline. At 80 degree celsius, the vapor pressure of heptane is 428mmHg
ss7ja [257]
Looking at this equation P= (pa*pb)/ (pa+(pb-pa)) ya  where pa=vap press a and ya= vap composition a and P= total pressure,it relates vapor pressure mixture to vapor composition. This is derived using the combination of Dalton's and Raoult's laws.
