     Because they frequently have a long half-lives, therefore his stay in the middle is long.

Number 4

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

Answer: The correct answer is option (4)

Explanation:

Nuclear waste is a waste material left after the use of nuclear material in a nuclear reactor. The waste material left behind is higher in radio-activity that is the waste is radio-active in nature. This waste is highly toxic in nature.

Being possessed by radio-active nuclear substance they have long half-lives which allows them to be remain radioactive for extended periods of time.

Their ability to be remain radioactive for extended periods of time poses a great problem for the experts.

If 32.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
Arada [10]
Find moles of MgSO4.7H2O

molar mass = 246
so moles  = 32 / 246  = 0.13 moles.

When heated, all 7 H2O from 1 molecule will be gone. 
total moles of H2O present = 7 x 0.13 = 0.91
mass of those H2O = 0.91 x 18  = 16.38g

so mass of anyhydrous MgSO4 remain = 32 - 16.38 = 15.62 g

A sample of bismuth weighing 0.687 g was converted to bismuth chloride by reacting it first with HNO3, and then with HCI, follow
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The empirical formula is BiCl3

% Bi = 66.27 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of bismuth = 0.687 grams

Mass of bismuth chloride produced = 1.032 grams

Molar mass of bismuth = 208.98 g/mol

Molar mass of bismuth chloride = 315.33 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Step 3: Calculate moles of Bi

Moles Bi = mass Bi / molar mass Bi

Moles Bi = 0.687 grams / 208.98 g/mol

Moles Bi =  0.00329 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Cl

Mass of Cl = 1.032 - 0.687  = 0.345 moles

Moles Cl = 0.345 moles / 35.45 g/mol

Moles Cl = 0.00973 moles Cl

Step 5: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smaller number of moles:

Bi: 0.00329 / 0.00329 = 1

Cl: 0.0097The empirical formula is BiCl33/0.00329 = 3

Step 6: Calculate molar mass of BiCl3

Molar mass = 208.98 + 3*35.45 = 315.33 g/mol

Step 7: Calculate percent of Bi

% Bi = (208.98 / 315.33) * 100%

% Bi = 66.27 %

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
VikaD [51]
The answer is <span>D.when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells. This is because there are some instances when elements don't possess a regular or normal electron configuration. There are those who have special electron configurations wherein a lower subshell isn't completely filled before occupying a higher subshell. It is best to visualize such cases using the orbital notation.</span>

Identify the most and the least acidic compound in each of the following sets.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Our answer options for this question are:

a. 2-chlorobutanoic acid:_______ 2-chlorobutanoic acid:_______ 3-chlorobutanoic acid:______.

b. 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid:______ p-nitrobenzoic acid:______ p-bromobenzoic acid:_______.

c. p-cyanobenzoic acid:________ benzoic acid:_______ p-aminobenzoic acid:______

We have to check each set of molecules

<u>a. 2-chlorobutanoic acid,</u> <u>3-chlorobutanoic acid</u>

<u />

In this case, the difference between these molecules is the position of "Cl". If the chlorine atom is closer to the acid group, we will have a higher inductive effect. So, the bond O-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. So, the molecule with more acidity is <u>2-chlorobutanoic acid</u> and the less acidic would be <u>3-chlorobutanoic acid.</u>

<u />

<u>b. 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid,</u> <u>p-nitrobenzoic acid,</u> <u>p-bromobenzoic acid</u>

<u />

In this case, we have several structural differences. In all the structure, we have deactivating groups (Br and NO_2). If we have a deactivating group the acidity will increase. In the case of "Br", we have a weak deactivating, so, this will be the less acidic one (<u>p-bromobenzoic acid)</u>

in <u>2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid</u> we have two deactivating groups, therefore, this would be the most acid compound.

<u>c. p-cyanobenzoic acid</u>, <u>benzoic acid</u>, <u>p-aminobenzoic acid</u>

On these molecules, we have several structural differences. In <u>p-cyanobenzoic acid</u> we have a deactivating group, therefore in this molecule we will have more acidity. In the <u>p-aminobenzoic acid,</u> we have an activating group, so, this would be the less acidic compound.

<u />

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

How many grams of ca(no3)2 can be produced by reacting excess hno3 with 6.33 g of ca(oh)2?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Amount of Ca(NO3)2 produced = 14.02 g

Explanation:

The given reaction can be depicted as follows:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Since it is given that HNO3 is in excess, the limiting reactant is Ca(OH)2

Now, Mass of Ca(OH)2 = 6.33 g

Molar mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74 g/mol

Moles\ Ca(OH)2 = \frac{Mass}{Molar\ Mass} = \frac{6.33 g}{74 g/mol} =0.0855

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of Ca(OH)2 forms 1 mole of Ca(NO3)2

Therefore, moles of Ca(NO3)2 produced from the moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted = 0.0855 moles

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g/mol

Mass\ Ca(NO3)2 \ produced = moles*molar\ mass \\= 0.0855\ moles*164\ g/mol = 14.02\  g
