Chemistry

Methane,CH4,has a lower boiling point than CF4 because it is a tetrahedral molecule with four equivalent C-H bonds. It's electronic structure is described by four bonding molecular orbitals (MOs) resulting from the overlap of the valence orbitals on C and H. The lowest energy MO is the result of the overlap of the 2s orbital on carbon with the in-phase combination of the 1s orbitals on the four hydrogen atoms.

It is a colorless, natural gas, and can breaks down atom creates CH3 with water vapor that Carbon tetrafluoride,CF4, don't have that has a high bond strength due to its nature of the carbon-fluorine bond and is a potent greenhouse gas.

Water treatment plants commonly use chlorination to destroy bacteria. a byproduct is chloroform (chcl3), a suspected carcinogen
antiseptic1488 [7]
<span>100. ppb of chcl3 in drinking water means  100 g of CHCl3 in 1,000,0000,000 g of water

Molarity, M

M = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters

number of moles of solute = mass of CHCl3 / molar mass of CHCl3

molar mass of CHCl3 = 119.37 g/mol

number of moles of solute = 100 g / 119.37 g/mol = 0.838 mol

using density of water = 1 g/ ml => 1,000,000,000 g = 1,000,000 liters

M = 0.838 / 1,000,000 = 8.38 * 10^ - 7 M <----- answer

Molality, m

m = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

number of moles of solute = 0.838

kg of solvent = kg of water = 1,000,000 kg

m = 0.838 moles / 1,000,000 kg = 8.38 * 10^ - 7 m <----- answer

mole fraction of solute, X solute

X solute = number of moles of solute / number of moles of solution

number of moles of solute = 0.838

number of moles of solution = number of moles of solute + number of moles of solvent

number of moles of solvent = mass of water / molar mass of water = 1,000,000,000 g / 18.01528 g/mol = 55,508,435 moles

number of moles of solution = 0.838 moles + 55,508,435 moles = 55,508,436 moles

X solute = 0.838 / 55,508,435 = 1.51 * 10 ^ - 8 <------ answer

mass percent, %

% = (mass of solute / mass of solution) * 100 = (100g / 1,000,000,100 g) * 100 =

% = 10 ^ - 6 % <------- answer

what is the new pressure acting on a 2.5 l balloon if its original volume was 5.8 l at 3.7 ATM of pressure
Ivan

Answer : The new pressure acting on a 2.5 L balloon is, 8.6 atm.

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure = 3.7 atm

P_2 = final pressure = ?

V_1 = initial volume = 5.8 L

V_2 = final volume = 2.5 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

3.7atm\times 5.8L=P_2\times 2.5L

P_2=8.6atm

Thus, the new pressure acting on a 2.5 L balloon is, 8.6 atm.

When you apply heat energy to a substance, where does the energy go? Think about the law of conservation of energy.
MAVERICK [17]

The energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the substance to move. The law of conservation of energy which is the first law of thermodynamics states that in a closed system energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can change from one form to another
