A skydiver slows down from 65 m/s to 5 m/s by opening the parachute. If this
takes 0.75 seconds, what is the skydiver's acceleration?
A. 45 m/s2 up
B. 80 m/s2 up
C. 45 m/s2 down
D. 80 m/s2 down
Answer:
D. -80m/s^2
Explanation:
V = u + at
5 = 65 + a (0.75)
0.75a = -60
a = -60/0.75
a = -80m/s^2
Therefore, is decelerating at 80m/s^2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 80 \ m/s^2 \ down}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to find the acceleration of a skydiver. Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time, so the formula for calculating acceleration is:
[tex]a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]
The skydiver was initially traveling 65 meters per second, then he slowed down to a final velocity of 5 meters per second. He slowed down in 0.75 seconds.
[tex]\bullet \ v_f = 5 \ m/s \\\bullet \ v_i= 65 \ m/s \\\bullet \ t= 0.75 \ s[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]a= \frac{ 5 \ m/s - 65 \ m/s}{0.75 \ s}[/tex]
Solve the numerator.
[tex]a= \frac{-60 \ m/s}{0.75 \ s}[/tex]
Divide.
[tex]a= -80 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The acceleration of the skydiver is -80 meters per second squared or 80 meters per second squared down. The skydiver is slowing down or decelerating, so the acceleration is negative or down.
Carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) is a polyprotic acid. When carbonic acid dissolves in water, which is higher, the concentration of HCO₃- ions or the concentration of CO₃²- ions?
Please explain!
The concentration of CO₃²⁻ ions will be higher
To explain, I want you to imagine H₂CO₃ in water.
we know that it will lose 2 of it's protons, and form 2 ions
The ion which is more stable will have a higher concentration because that ion will refuse to react with anything else, so once something turns into that specific ion, it's not going back... unless there's a more stabler ion possible
In this case, the 2 ions formed are: HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁽²⁻⁾, drawing the structures of both the ions tells us that both of them have resonance, but the CO₃⁽²⁻⁾ ion has more resonance structures and hence is more stable

A student was given a solid containing a mixture of nitrate salts. The sample completely dissolved in water, and upon addition of dilute HCl , no precipitate formed. The pH was lowered to about 1 and H2S was bubbled through the solution. No precipitate formed. The pH was adjusted to 8 and H2S was again bubbled in. This time, a precipitate formed. Which compounds might have been present in the unknown?
a. Ca(NO3)2
b. AgNO3
c. Fe(NO3)3
d. Cr(NO3)3
e. Cu(NO3)2
f. KNO3
g. Bi(NO3)2
Answer:
Fe(NO3)3, Cr(NO3)3, Co(NO3)3
Explanation:
According to the question, no precipitate is observed when HCl was added. This means that we must rule out AgNO3.
Again, the sulphides of Cu^2+, Bi^3+ are soluble in acidic medium but according to the question, the sulphides do not precipitate at low pH hence Cu(NO3)2 and Bi(NO3)3 are both ruled out.
The sulphides of Fe^3+, Cr^3+ and Co^3+ all form precipitate in basic solution hence Fe(NO3)3, Cr(NO3)3, Co(NO3)3 may be present.
The presence of Ca(NO3)2 and KNO3 may be confirmed by flame tests.
Calculate the no. of moles in 15g of CaCl2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.14 \ mol \ CaCl_2}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to calculate the number of moles of 15 grams of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).
To convert from grams to moles, we use the molar mass, or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. Molar masses are found on the Periodic Table because they are equivalent to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.
Look up the individual elements in the compound: calcium and chloride.
Ca: 40.08 g/mol Cl: 35.45 g/molNotice the chemical formula has a subscript of 2 after Cl or chlorine. There are 2 moles of chlorine in every 1 mole of calcium chloride. We must multiply chlorine's molar mass by 2 before adding calcium's molar mass.
Cl₂: 35.45 * 2 = 70.9 g/mol CaCl₂= 40.08 + 70.9 = 110.98 g/molWe will convert using dimensional analysis, so we must create a ratio using the molar mass.
[tex]\frac {110.98 \ g \ CaCl_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
We are converting 15 grams of calcium chloride to moles, so we must multiply the ratio by this value.
[tex]15 \ g \ CaCl_2 *\frac {110.98 \ g \ CaCl_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
Flip the ratio so the units of grams of calcium chloride cancel.
[tex]15 \ g \ CaCl_2 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}{110.98 \ g \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
[tex]15 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}{110.98}[/tex]
[tex]\frac { 15}{110.98} \ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
[tex]0.1351594882\ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
The original measurement of grams (15) has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 5 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 3 up to a 4.
[tex]0.14 \ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
15 grams of calcium chloride is approximately 0.14 moles of calcium chloride.
A 1 liter solution contains 0.370 M hypochlorous acid and 0.493 M sodium hypochlorite. Addition of 0.092 moles of barium hydroxide will: (Assume that the volume does not change upon the addition of barium hydroxide.)
In the original solution you have the mixture of a weak acid (Hypochlorous acid) and its conjugate base (Sodium hypochlorite). That is a buffer.
The barium hydroxide will react with hypochlorous acid. If this reaction cause the complete reaction of hypochlorous acid, the buffer break its capacity and the pH change in several units. In this case:
The addition of barium hydroxide will raise the pH slightly because the buffer still working.
The initial moles of those species are:
Hypochlorous acid:
[tex]1L * \frac{0.370mol}{1L} = 0.370 moles[/tex]
Sodium hypochlorite:
[tex]1L * \frac{0.493mol}{1L} = 0.493 moles[/tex]
Now, a strong acid as barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) reacts with a weak acid as hypochlorous acid (HClO) as follows:
Ba(OH)₂ + 2HClO → Ba(ClO)₂ + 2H₂O
For a complete reaction of 0.092 moles of barium hydroxide are required:
[tex]0.092 moles Ba(OH)_2*\frac{2mol HClO}{1molBa(OH)_2} = 0.184 moles HClO[/tex]
As there are 0.370 moles, the moles of HClO after the reaction are:
0.370 moles - 0.184 moles = 0.186 moles of HClO will remain
As you still have hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid you still have a buffer.
Thus, the pH will raise slightly because the amount of acid is decreasing and slightly because the buffer can keep the pH.

explain chlorination of methane
Answer:
Methane and chlorine
If a mixture of methane and chlorine is exposed to a flame, it explodes - producing carbon and hydrogen chloride. This is not a very useful reaction! The reaction we are going to explore is a more gentle one between methane and chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light - typically sunlight. This is a good example of a photochemical reaction - a reaction brought about by light.
CH4+Cl2+energy→CH3Cl+HCl(3.4.2)
The organic product is chloromethane. One of the hydrogen atoms in the methane has been replaced by a chlorine atom, so this is a substitution reaction. However, the reaction doesn't stop there, and all the hydrogens in the methane can in turn be replaced by chlorine atoms.
Substitution reactions happen in which hydrogen atoms in the methane are replaced one at a time by chlorine atoms. You end up with a mixture of chloromethane, dichloromethane, trichloromethane and tetrachloromethane.

Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and products in your balanced equation. You do not need to include the states with the identities of the oxidizing and reducing agents.
NO_2(g) rightarrow NO_3^-(aq) +NO_2^- (aq) [basic]
The oxidizing agent is:______.
The reducing agent is:_______.
Answer:
a. 2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)
b. i. NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent
ii. NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.
Explanation:
a. Balance the following skeleton reaction
The reaction is
NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq)
The half reactions are
NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq) (1) and
NO₂ (g) → NO₂⁻ (aq) (2)
We balance the number of oxygen atoms in equation(1) by adding one H₂O molecule to the left side.
So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq)
We now add two hydrogen ions 2H⁺ on the right hand side to balance the number of hydrogen atoms
NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)
The charge on the left hand side is zero while the total charge on the right hand side is -1 + 2 = +1. To balance the charge on both sides, we add one electron to the right hand side.
So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻ (4)
Since the number of atoms in equation two are balanced, we balance the charge since the charge on the left hand side is zero and that on the right hand side is -1. So, we add one electron to the left hand side.
So, NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻ (aq) (5)
We now add equation (4) and (5)
So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻ (4)
+ NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻ (aq) (5)
2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + e⁻ → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻ (4)
2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)
We now add two hydroxide ions to both sides of the equation.
So, 2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)
The hydrogen ion and the hydroxide ion become a water molecule
2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)
2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)
So, the required reaction is
2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)
b. Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent
Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂ is -2. Since the oxidation number of NO₂ is zero, we let x be the oxidation number of N.
So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0
x + 2(-2) = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₂⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.
So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0
x + 2(-2) = -1
x - 4 = -1
x = 4 - 1
x = 3
Also, the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₃⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₃⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.
So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = -1
x + 3(-2) = -1
x - 6 = -1
x = 6 - 1
x = 5
i. The oxidizing agent
The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +3 in NO₂⁻. So, Nitrogen is reduced and thus NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent
ii. The reducing agent
The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +5 in NO₃⁻. So, Nitrogen is oxidized and thus and NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.

When measuring tert-butyl alcohol for this experiment, a student first weighs an empty graduated cylinder, then pours 15 mL of the alcohol into the graduated cylinder and weighs the cylinder again. He records the amount of alcohol used as the difference in these two masses. What is wrong with this method
Answer:
Both have solutions in the graduated cylinder.
Explanation:
Recording the amount of alcohol used as the difference between two masses is the wrong method used for measuring tert-butyl alcohol for the experiment. For measuring tert-butyl alcohol for this experiment, the student has to measure the two masses when both the graduated cylinders has solution of tert-butyl alcohol not when one of it is empty (having no tert-butyl alcohol ).
The wrong aspect is that the liquid didn't need to be weighed. Instead the volume should have been recorded with the aid of the graduated cylinder.

Two flasks are connected by a closed valve. One contains gas particles and the other contains a vacuum. If the valve is opened such that the particles move until they fill both flasks, the process by which the particles can reconvene entirely in one of the flasks is:
Answer: The process by which the particles can reconvene entirely in one of the flasks is: NONSPONTANEOUS.
Explanation:
The spontaneity of a process can affect the distribution of energy and matter within the system. Different chemical or physical processes have the natural tendency to occur in one direction under a given set of conditions. For example:
--> when water is pour down a hill it naturally flows down but it requires outside energy maybe from a water pump to flow up the hill and ,
--> during an iron rust, iron that is exposed to atmosphere will corrode, but rust is not converted to iron without intentional chemical treatment.
Therefore, a spontaneous process is one that occurs naturally under certain conditions. While a NONSPONTANEOUS process, on the other hand, will not take place unless it is initiated by the continual input of energy from an outside source. A process that is spontaneous in one direction under a particular set of conditions is nonspontaneous in the REVERSE direction.
From the two flasks that where connected through a valve, once the valve was opened, the gas spontaneously becomes evenly distributed between the flasks. To reverse this, it would require an external energy making the reconvening of the particles back to the first flask a NONSPONTANEOUS PROCESS .
At a constant temperature, a sample of gas occupies 1.5 L at a pressure of 2.8 ATM. What will be the pressure of this sample, in atmospheres, if the new volume is 0.92 L?
Using boyles law
[tex]\boxed{\sf v\propto \dfrac{1}{p}}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{2.8\times 1.5}{0.92}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{4.2}{0.92}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=4.56atm[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2\approx 4.6atm[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.6 \ atm}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to find the new pressure given a change in volume. We will use Boyle's Law, which states the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. The formula for this law is:
[tex]P_1V_1= P_2V_2[/tex]
Initially, the gas occupies 1.5 liters at a pressure of 2.8 atmospheres.
[tex]1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm = P_2V_2[/tex]
The volume is changed to 0.92 liters, but the pressure is unknown.
[tex]1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm = P_2* 0.92 \ L[/tex]
We are solving for the final pressure, so we must isolate the variable P₂. It is being multiplied by 0.92 liters. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 0.92 L.
[tex]\frac {1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 \ L} = \frac{P_2* 0.92 \ L}{0.92 \ L}[/tex]
[tex]\frac {1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 \ L}= P_2[/tex]
The units of liters cancel each other out.
[tex]\frac {1.5 * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 }=P_2[/tex]
[tex]\frac {4.2}{0.92} \ atm= P_2[/tex]
[tex]4.565217391 \ atm = P_2[/tex]
The original measurements of pressure and volume have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the tenths place. The 6 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 5 up to a 6.
[tex]4.6 \ atm \approx P_2[/tex]
The pressure is approximately 4.6 atmospheres.
Consider the Fischer ester synthesis of methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. A reaction was performed in which 3.3 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 1.7 g of methyl benzoate. Calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield for this reaction.
Answer:
46.2%
Explanation:
Number of moles benzoic acid reacts = 3.3g/122.12 g/mol = 0.027 moles
Since the reaction is 1:1, 0.027 moles of methyl benzoate is formed.
Hence;
Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 0.027 moles × 136.15 g/mol = 3.68 g
% yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100
% yield = 1.7 g/3.68 g × 100
% yield = 46.2%

how many moles of oxygen atoms are present in 0.4 moles of oxygen gas
Answer:
Each molecule of O2 is made up of 2 oxygen atoms. So 1 mole of O2 molecules is made up of 2 moles of oxygen atoms. Therefore 1 mole of oxygen gas contains 2 moles of oxygen atoms. And 0.4 moles of oxygen gas contains 0.8 moles of oxygen atoms.
There are 0.8 moles of oxygen atoms in 0.4 moles of oxygen gas.
Oxygen gas (O₂) consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore, to determine the number of moles of oxygen atoms present in a given amount of oxygen gas, we can simply multiply the number of moles of oxygen gas by the number of oxygen atoms per molecule, which is 2.
Given that we have 0.4 moles of oxygen gas, we can calculate the number of moles of oxygen atoms as follows:
Number of moles of oxygen atoms = Number of moles of oxygen gas × Number of oxygen atoms per molecule
= 0.4 moles × 2
= 0.8 moles
Therefore, there are 0.8 moles of oxygen atoms present in 0.4 moles of oxygen gas.
This calculation is based on the stoichiometry of oxygen gas, which indicates that each molecule of O₂ contains two oxygen atoms. By considering the mole ratio between oxygen gas and oxygen atoms, we can determine the number of moles of oxygen atoms in a given quantity of oxygen gas.

Using the Law of Conservation of Mass, what is the mass of the unknown solid you placed in beaker #1?
Answer:
the mas is .291 g
Explanation:
the mass of a object does not change. so when added the substance the beaker. you had the mass of both objects together. you know the mass of the beaker and you know the mass of both. since mass does not change. the beakers mass is still 74.605g. the mass of both objects is 74.896. all you have to do is subtract the mass of the beaker from the total mass. 74.896 - 74.605 equals .291g. so the mass of the unknown substance Is .291g
Balance the redox reaction Al(s) + MnO4^- (aq) --> MnO2 (s) + Al(OH)4^- (aq) in aqueous basic solution
Answer:
Al + MnO4- + 2H2O → Al(OH)4- + MnO2
Explanation:
First of all, we out down the skeleton equation;
Al + MnO4- → MnO2 + Al(OH)4-
Secondly, we write the oxidation and reduction equation in basic medium;
Oxidation half equation:Al + 4H2O + 4OH- → Al(OH)4- + 4H2O + 3e-
Reduction half equation:MnO4- + 4H2O + 3e- → MnO2 + 2H2O + 4OH-
Thirdly, we add the two half reactions together to obtain:
Al + MnO4- + 8H2O + 4OH- + 3e- → Al(OH)4- + MnO2 + 6H2O + 3e- + 4OH-
Lastly, cancel out species that occur on both sides of the reaction equation;
Al + MnO4- + 8H2O→ Al(OH)4- + MnO2 + 6H2O
The simplified equation now becomes;
Al + MnO4- + 2H2O → Al(OH)4- + MnO2

c. if this reactionwere being used to generate heat, how many grams of C12H26 would have to be reacted to generate enough heat to raise the temperature of 750g of liquid water from 10 degrees celcius to 90 degrees celcius
Thermochemistry has to do with heat evolved or absorbed in a chemical reactions. Thermochemical equations are equations in which the heat of reaction is included in the reaction equation. The reaction of moles and heat of reaction is important here.
This question has to do with thermochemistry and thermochemical equations.
The answers to each of the questions are shown below;
a) 300.52 KJ
b) 11.39 g
c) 5.78 g
The equation of the thermochemical reaction is;
2C12H26 + 37O2-------> 24CO2 + 15026KJ
Number of moles of CO2 released = 21.3g/44g/mol = 0.48 moles
From the reaction equation;
15026KJ is released when 24 moles of CO2 is released
x KJ is released when 0.48 moles of CO2 is released
x = 15026KJ * 0.48 moles/24 moles
x = 300.52 KJ
b) If 2 moles of C12H26 released 15026KJ of heat
x moles of C12H26 released 500.00KJ
x = 2 * 500.00KJ/15026KJ
x = 0.067 moles
Mass of C12H26 consumed = 0.067 moles * 170 g/mol = 11.39 g
c) Heat gained by water = heat released by combustion of kerosene
Heat gained by water = 0.75 Kg * 4200 * (90 -10)
Heat gained by water = 252 KJ
If 2 moles of C12H26 produced 15026KJ
x moles of C12H26 produces 252 KJ
x = 2 * 252/15026
x = 0.034 moles
Mass of C12H26 = 0.034 moles * 170 g/mol = 5.78 g
