Based on your knowledge of factors affecting the rate of reaction, why is there a danger of explosions in places such as flour mills and coal mines where there are large quantities of powdered, combustible materials?
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
Rate of reaction refers to how quickly or slowly a reaction proceeds. The rate of reaction depends on certain factors.
Two among the factors that affect the rate of reaction are the concentration of reactants and the surface area of reactants.
The more the concentration of reactants, the faster the rate of reactants because there is a high possibility of collision between reactants. Also, the higher the surface area of reactants, the greater the rate of reaction.
In flour mills and coal mines where there is a large amount (concentration) of combustible materials and the particles are powdered (high surface area), there is a greater risk of explosion due to a high rate of reaction owing to a combination of the two factors discussed above.

Is astatine (At), atomic number 85, a metal or nonmetal? Why?
Answer:
At is a metalloid
Explanation: Meaning that it displays some of the characteristics of a metal but can also display characteristics of nonmetals. Silicon is one such element. Elemental Silicon has a dark lustrous metallic appearance but it is quite brittle. Some authorities include Astatine as a halogen as it has seven electrons in its valence shell placing it just below iodine in period 17 VIIA. Additionally, because Astatine is only ever found naturally as the result of radioactive decay from more dense elements it is the rarest naturally occurring element in Earth's crust.

Answer:
A new fictitious element was discovered.
It is a metal named jolmium, J, and it has three valence electrons.
If it combines with iodine it forms jolmium iodide. Answer the following questions.
a.Is this compound ionic or covalent
b. What is the formula of Jolmium iodide?
c. What is the charge on the metal J in this compound?
d. Explain how you know that is the charge?
Explanation:
It is given the element jolmium J is a metal with three valence electrons.
Since metals are highly electropositive, they lose electrons easily and form cations (Ions with a positive charge).
[tex]J^{3+}[/tex] ion will be formed.
b) The formula of jolmium iodide is shown below:
[tex]J^{+3} I^{-1}\\The formula becomes:\\JI_{3}[/tex]
a) The compound is ionic in nature.
Since the compound formed between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom will take place by transfer of electrons.
Hence, it is ionic in nature.
c) The charge on the metal J in this compound is +3.
d) Given J has three valence electrons.
That means it can lose three electrons to form a bond.
So, its valency is three.
Which is the balanced version of the half-reaction below?
H2S → S+H+
Answer:
C. [tex]H_2S\rightarrow S+2H^++2e^-[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given chemical reaction, it turns out possible to realize there is one sulfur atom on each side of the chemical equation but two hydrogen atoms on the left and one on the right, which means the latter must be balanced in agreement to the law of conservation of mass.
In such a way, by setting a 2 on H⁺, the reaction will be balanced:
[tex]H_2S\rightarrow S+2H^+[/tex]
Now, we count the transfer electrons for sulfur from -2 to 0 as 2e⁻ on the right, which will match with the option C.
[tex]H_2S\rightarrow S+2H^++2e^-[/tex]

Explanation:
The half life for the radioactive decay of potassium-40 to argon-40 is 1.26×109 years. Suppose nuclear chemical analysis shows that there is 0.359 mmol of argon-40 for every 1.000mmol of potassium-40 in a sample of rock. Calculate the age of the rock.
Answer:
2.42x10⁹ years is the age of the rock
Explanation:
The decay of an isotope follows the equation:
Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀
Where [A] is amount of isotope after time t, k is decay constant and [A]₀ is the initial amount of the isotope
To find decay constant from half-life:
k = ln2 / half-life
k = ln2 / 1.26x10⁹years
k = 5.501x10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹
As in the reaction, K-40 produce Ar-40:
[A] = 0.359mmol
[A]₀ = 0.359mmol + 1.000mmol = 1.359mmol
Replacing:
Ln[0.359mmol] = -5.501x10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹t + Ln[1.359mmol]
-1.3312 = -5.501x10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹t
t = 2.42x10⁹ years is the age of the rock

Select the statement(s) that describe the characteristics of transition metals. a. Transition metals have partially filled d subshells. b. Transition metals give rise to cations that have completely filled d subshells. c. Group 2B elements are not transition metals because they neither have nor readily acquire partially filled d orbitals.
Answer: The correct option is A,
--> a.) Transition metals have partially filled d subshells.
Explanation:
Transition elements are all metals of economic importance. They are found in the d- lock of the periodic table between group 2 and 3. They occupy three rows, with ten elements in each row. The term 'transition metals' refers only to an element which has PARTIALLY filled d orbitals. Typical example of transition metals include iron (Fe).
They have partially filled 3d orbitals which are responsible for the special properties of the metals. These include:
--> Physical properties: the transition metals have high boiling and melting points. They are hard, dense and lustrous. They are also good conductors of heat and electricity.
--> Chemical reactivity: In the s- block and p-block, the chemical properties of the elements in the same period vary, often quite markedly, from left to right. This does not happen with the transition metals because electrons are added progressively to the inner d-orbitals.
--> Variable oxidation states: they have variable oxidation states because 3d electrons are available for bond formation.
The weak ionization constant (Ka)
for HCN is equal to:

Compare the solubility of calcium sulfite in each of the following aqueous solutions:
a. 0.10 M Ca(CH3COO)2
b. 0.10 M K2SO3
c. 0.10 M NaNO3
d. 0.10 M KCH3COO
1. More soluble than in pure water.
2. Similar solubility as in pure water.
3. Less soluble than in pure water.
Answer:
0.10 M Ca(CH3COO)2- Less soluble than in pure water.
0.10 M K2SO3- Less soluble than in pure water.
0.10 M NaNO3 - More soluble than in pure water.
0.10 M KCH3COO- Similar solubility as in pure water.
Explanation:
We have to cast our minds back to the idea of common ions effect. If any ion is already present in solution, the presence of that ion in solution prevents any solute containing a common ion with the solution from dissolving in that solution. In order words, the presence of a common ion makes a solute less soluble in a solvent than it is in pure water.
For instance, 0.10 M Ca(CH3COO)2 and K2SO3 both contain Ca^2+ and SO3^2- ions respectively which are also contained in the solute calcium sulfite.
The presence of these common ions in solution makes calcium sulfite less soluble in these solutions than it is in pure water because the equilibrium position for the dissolution of the solute lies towards the left hand side.
However, calcium sulfite is more soluble in 0.10 M NaNO3 than in pure water due to displacement reaction between the ions in solution.
The solubility of calcium sulfite and 0.10 M KCH3COO in pure water is quite comparable.
Atoms of element X have 12 times the mass of atoms of oxygen, and atoms of oxygen have 16 times the mass of atoms of hydrogen. What is the mass of atoms of element X on a scale on which atoms of hydrogen have a mass of 1?
A. 16/12
B. 12/16
С. 12 x 16
D. 16-12
E. 1216
Answer:
C. 12 × 16
Explanation:
Let mH be the mass of atoms of hydrogen and mO be the mass of atoms of oxygen. The atoms of oxygen have 16 times the mass of atoms of hydrogen. That is,
mO = 16 mH [1]
Let mX be the mass of the atoms of X. Atoms of element X have 12 times the mass of atoms of oxygen. That is,
mX = 12 mO [2]
If we substitute [1] in [2], we get
mX = 12 × 16 mH
If mH is 1, we get,
mX = 12 × 16 × 1
mX = 12 × 16
How many grams of solid sodium cyanide should be added to 1.00 L of a 0.119 M hydrocyanic acid solution to prepare a buffer with a pH of 8.809
Answer:
1.62 g
Explanation:
Given that:
Concentration of HCN = 0.119 M
Assuming the ka 4.00 × 10⁻¹⁰
The pKa of HCN (hydrocyanic acid) = -log (Ka)
= - log ( 4.00 × 10⁻¹⁰)
= 9.398
pH of buffer = 8.809
Using Henderson Hasselbach equation:
[tex]pH = pKa + log \dfrac{[conjugate\ base ]}{acid}[/tex]
[tex]pH = pKa + log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}[/tex]
[tex]8.809 = 9.398 +log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}[/tex]
[tex]log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}= 8.809 - 9.398[/tex]
[tex]log \dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}= -0.589[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{[CN^-]}{[HCN]}= 0.2576[/tex]
[CN^-] = 0.2576[HCN]
[CN^-] = 0.2756 (0.119) L
[CN^-] = 0.033 M
∴
The amount of NaCN (sodium cyanide) is calculated as follows:
[tex]= 1.00 L \times \dfrac{0.033 \ mol \ NacN }{1 \ L } \times \dfrac{49.01 \ g}{1 \ mol \ of \ NacN}[/tex]

Sodium azide, NaN3, the explosive compound found in automobile air bags, decomposes according to the following equation: 2NaN3(s)right arrow 2Na(s) + 3N2(g)
What mass of NaN3 is required to provide the nitrogen needed to inflate an 80.0-L bag to a pressure of 1.3 atm at 27 degree C? What is the density of the gas under these conditions?
Answer:
1.9 × 10² g NaN₃
1.5 g/L
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced decomposition equation
2 NaN₃(s) ⇒ 2 Na(s) + 3 N₂(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles of N₂ formed
N₂ occupies a 80.0 L bag at 1.3 atm and 27 °C (300 K). We will calculate the moles of N₂ using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
n = P × V / R × T
n = 1.3 atm × 80.0 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K = 4.2 mol
We can also calculate the mass of nitrogen using the molar mass (M) 28.01 g/mol.
4.2 mol × 28.01 g/mol = 1.2 × 10² g
Step 3: Calculate the mass of NaN₃ needed to form 1.2 × 10² g of N₂
The mass ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 130.02:84.03.
1.2 × 10² g N₂ × 130.02 g NaN₃/84.03 g N₂ = 1.9 × 10² g NaN₃
Step 4: Calculate the density of N₂
We will use the following expression.
ρ = P × M / R × T
ρ = 1.3 atm × 28.01 g/mol / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 300 K = 1.5 g/L

Answer:
The correct answer is - The net force is zero.
Explanation:
When an object moves on the surface with the same or constant acceleration which means there is no gain or loss of the speed it shows that all the forces of the object are at a point of zero.
If there would be any force applied on the object there must be some change in the velocity or acceleration but in this case there is no loss or gain of speed which means there is the object's net force is zero.

Explanation:
Given the following gas law variables:
P₁ = 110.0KPa P₂ = 25KPa
V₁ = 410 Liters V₂ = ?
T₁ = 17°C ( = 290K) T₂ = -27°C ( = 248K)
P₁V₁/₁T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂ => V₂ = V₁(P₁/P₂)(T₂/T₂)
V₂ = 410L(110.0KPa/25KPa)(248k/290K) = 1542 L (calc. ans.)
V₂ = 1500 Liters ( 2 sig. figs.)
When taking a measurement with a pH meter, keep the instrument in the ______________ until it is needed. Rinse the pH meter with ______________ and gently pat dry. Place the meter in the sample solution, and record the measurement when the pH __________
Answer:
Storage solution; deionized water; stabilizes.
Explanation:
The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.
In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.
Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by;
[tex] pH = -log_{10}(H^{+}) [/tex]
Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic (alkaline) if it's pH is above 7.
A pH meter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for the measurement of the hydrogen-ion concentration in water-based solutions, in order to determine their level of acidity or alkanility.
When using a pH meter to take a measurement, you should keep it in a storage solution until it is needed. Also, a deionized water should be used to rinse the pH meter and gently pat dry.
Furthermore, the pH meter should be placed in a given sample solution and a reading of the measurement taken when the pH of the solution stabilizes.
