Explain in your own words, why can’t we predict earthquakes?

Answers

Answer 1
There is currently no way to reliably predict when an earthquake will happen, its strength or length. Earthquakes can vary in their magnitude, the size of the earthquake at its source, and length, lasting from seconds to minutes.

Research has shown, that shaking of an earthquake displays a characteristic pattern. After the first tremors start, building up in intensity, a peak is reached, followed by a fading shaking. Large and small earthquakes start the same way, but there is no way to say when the peak, the maximal magnitude of the quake, is reached.

Or 89.4g

Answers

Answer: 179 of [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{20.0g}{2.01g/mol}=9.95moles[/tex]

[tex]2H_2+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O[/tex]

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] give =  2 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Thus 9.95 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{2}{2}\times 9.95=9.95moles[/tex]  of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Mass of [tex]H_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=9.95moles\times 18g/mol=179g[/tex]

Thus 179 of [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be produced.

How many grams of KF are in 2 liters of a 3.0 M solution of KF

Answers

Answer:

mass ( g ) = 348 g

Explanation:

First you know : M = mole / volume (L)

in question you have the M and V and the formula of SUBSTANCE ( KF )

first you get the number of mole from equation above

so 3 = no of mole / 2

no of mole = 3 × 2 = 6 moles

and the moles equation is no of moles = mass ( g ) / molecular weight ( g/mole )

so you have already calculate the moles and you can know the MW from the Question

Mw of KF = 39 + 19 = 58

so n = mass / MW

so 6 = mass / 58

mass ( g ) = 348 g

In a titration how much 0.50 M HCl is needed to neutralize 1 liter of a 0.75 M solution of NaOH?

1.5 L

2.25 L

1.0 L

0.75 L

Answers

Answer:

1.5 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 1

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Molarity of acid (Ma) = 0.5M

Volume of acid (Va) =..?

Volume of base (Vb) = 1L

Molarity of base (Mb) = 0.75M

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of the acid needed for the reaction.

Using the formula:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

The volume of the acid needed for the reaction can be obtained as follow:

0.5 x Va / 0.75 x 1 = 1

Cross multiply

0.5 x Va = 0.75 x 1

Divide both side by 0.5

Va = 0.75 /0.5

Va = 1.5 L

Therefore, the volume of the acid, HCl needed for the reaction is 1.5L

What is the % of each element in Ni3{PO4) 2 ?​

Answers

Answer:

nickel 48.1063%

Phosphorus 16.9245%

Oxygen 34.9692%

The percent composition of each element like nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorous in Ni₃(PO₄)₂ are 48.03%, 34.97% and 16.93% respectively.

How do we calculate % composition?

Percent composition of any element present in any compound will be calculated as:
% comosition = (Mass of element / Mass of compound)×100%

Mass of Ni₃(PO₄)₂ compound = 366.02 g/mol

Molar mass of 3 Nitrogen atoms = 3×58.6 = 175.8 g/mol

Moar mass of 2 Phosphorous atoms = 2×31 = 62 g/mol

Moar mass of 8 Oxygen atoms = 8×16 = 128 g/mol

% comosition of Nitrogen = (175.8/366.02)×100% = 48.03%

% comosition of Oxygen = (128/366.02)×100% = 34.97%

% comosition of Phosphorous = (62/366.02)×100% = 16.93%

Hence % composition of nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorous is 48.03%, 34.97% and 16.93% respectively.

respectively, and they are at the same temperature, which one
will transfer more heat if they are all placed in cold water to
cool down? Explain.

Unit is calorimetry

Answers

Answer:

8 kg mass

Explanation:

As we can see in the image the weight of mass 8 kgs has a large surface area as compared to the surface area of other masses. In general, it has been observed that a wide surface area has more surface particle for heat conduction. Hence, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area of heat conducting surface. Thus, the larger the surface area, the faster is the rate of heat conduction.

Hence, weight of mass 8Kg wil transfer heat a fast rate.

What is the oxidation half-reaction for this unbalanced redox equation? cr2o72– + fe2+ → cr3+ + fe3+ cr3+ → cr2o72– cr2o72– → cr3+ fe3+ → fe2+ fe2+ → fe3+?

Answers

Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.

Chloroform is a commonly used anesthetic with a density of 1.483 g/mL. Determine the volume of chloroform needed to deliver a 9.37 g sample of the anesthetic

The density a substance is equal to the mass of the substance divided into its volume. So, we calculate the volume (V) of chloroform from the mass and density as follows:

[tex]d=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]   ⇒  [tex]V = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{9.37 g}{1.483 g/ml} = 6.32 ml[/tex]

Using the equation below, calculate the approximate moles of oxygen gas (O2) required to completely react with 719.68 moles of aluminum (Al). 4Al (s) + 3O2(g) -----> 2Al2O3(s)

Answers

Answer:

539.76 moles of O₂

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

From the equation of reaction above, 4 moles of Al will react with 3 moles of O₂

We can use mole-concept to find the number of moles of O₂.

4 moles of Al = 3moles of O₂

719.68 moles of Al = x moles of O₂

X = (3 × 719.68) / 4

X = 2159.04 / 4

X = 539.76 moles

539.76 moles of O₂ will react with 719.68 moles of Al

How many grams of H2 can be produced from the reaction of 11.50 g of sodium with an excess of water? The equation for the reaction is 2 Na + 2 H2O -> 2 NaOH + H2 Ans: 0.504 2 g H2 I would like to know how to solve this problem, the teacher gave me the answer but I am unsure how to solve it thanks!

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m_{H_2}=0.504gH_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the reaction is:

[tex]2 Na + 2 H_2O \rightarrow 2 NaOH + H_2[/tex]

We notice that since there is an excess of water, we can directly compute the yielded grams of hydrogen by using the following stoichiometric procedure, considering the 2:1 molar ratio between sodium and hydrogen (notice the 2 before the sodium and the 1 before the hydrogen at the chemical reaction) and that gaseous hydrogen has a molar mass of 2 g/mol:

[tex]m_{H_2}=11.50gNa*\frac{1molNa}{22.98gNa} *\frac{1molH_2}{2.02molNa} *\frac{2gH_2}{1molH_2} \\\\m_{H_2}=0.504gH_2[/tex]

Best regards.

Answer:

0.503g of H₂ are produced

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

2 Na + 2 H₂O → 2 NaOH + H₂

2 moles of Na react with 2 moles of water to produce 2 moles of NaOH and 1 mole of H₂

11.50g of Na -limiting reactant, molar mass 22.99g/mol- are:

11.50g× (1mol / 22.99g) = 0.500 moles of Na.

As 2 moles of Na produce 1 mole of H₂:

0.500 moles of Na × (1 mole H₂ / 2 moles Na) = 0.250 moles of H₂

As molar mass of H₂ is 2.01g/mol:

0.250 moles of H₂ × (2.01g / 1mol) = 0.503g of H₂ are produced

5 atm
9.7 atm
O
13.2 atm

Answers

Answer:

9.7 atm.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial pressure (P1) = 1 atm

Initial volume (V1) = 0.725 L

Final volume (V2) = 0.075 L

Final pressure (P2) =?

The final pressure can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation since the temperature is constant. This is illustrated below:

P1V1 = P2V2

1 x 0.725 = P2 x 0.075

Divide both side by 0.075

P2 = 0.725 / 0.075

P2 = 9.7 atm.

Therefore, the new pressure is 9.7 atm.

How many milliliters of 0.2 M NaOH are required to exactly neutralize 40 milliliters of 0.1 M HCl?

A) 10
B) 20
C) 40
D) 80

Answers

Answer:

Option B. 20mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Volume of base (Vb) =..?

Molarity of base (Mb) = 0.2M

Volume of acid (Va) = 40mL

Molarity of acid (Ma) = 0.1M

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction.

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, the following were obtained:

Mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of base, NaOH needed for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

0.1 x 40 / 0.2 x Vb = 1

Cross multiply

0.2 x Vb = 0.1 x 40

Divide both side by 0.2

Vb = 0.1 x 40 / 0.2

Vb = 20mL

Therefore, the volume of the base is 20mL.
