Answer:

Shaping

Explanation:

Shaping is a term used to describe the process where a response is stimulated through small rewards or punishments. In other words, shaping refers to a situation where a person is gradually trained to establish some kind of behavior or skill through small incentives. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where a parent shapes his child's aim by offering candy whenever he hits the target.

A solution of SO2 in water contains 0.00023 g of SO2 per liter of solution. What is the concentration of SO2 in ppm? in ppb?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

= 230 ppb

Explanation:

Considering that;

1ppm = 1mg/L  

Then;

0.00023g = 0.23mg  

Therefore;

0.00023 g/L = 0.23 mg/L

0.23 mg/L = 0.23 ppm

1 ppm = 100 ppb

Therefore;

0.23 ppm = 0.23 ×1000

                = 230 ppb

If 1.50 μg of co and 6.80 μg of h2 were added to a reaction vessel, and the reaction went to completion, how many gas particles
Vlada [557]
To determine the number of gas particles in the vessel we add all of the components of the gas. For this, we need to convert the mass to moles by the molar mass. Then, from moles to molecules by the avogadro's number.

1.50x10^-6 ( 1 / 28.01) (6.022x10^23) = 3.22x10^16 molecules CO


6.80x10^-6 ( 1 / 2.02) (6.022x10^23) = 2.03x10 18 molecules H2

Totol gas particles = 2.05x10^18 molecules

What is the osmotic pressure of a solution prepared from 13.7 g of the electrolyte HCl and enough water to make 0.500 L of solut
kherson [118]

Answer:

P = 17.9618 atm

Explanation:

The osmotic pressure can be calculated and treated as if we are talking about an ideal gas, and it's expression is the same:

pV = nRT

However the difference, is that instead of using moles, it use concentration so:

p = nRT/V ----> but M = n/V so

p = MRT

We have the temperature of 18 °C (K = 18+273.15 = 291.15 K) the value of R = 0.08206 L atm / K mol, so we need to calculate the concentration, and we have the mass of HCl, so we use the molar mass of HCl which is 36.45 g/mol:

n = 13.7/36.45 = 0.3759 moles

M = 0.3759/0.5 = 0.7518 M

Now that we have the concentration, let's solve for the osmotic pressure:

p = 0.7518 * 0.08206 * 291.15

<em><u>p = 17.9618 atm</u></em>

Acetaldehyde decomposes at 750 K: CH3CHO → CO + CH4. The reaction is first order in acetaldehyde and the half-life of the reacti
Degger [83]

Answer:

k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.

We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt

- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
