Why Should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning ?​

Answers

Answer 1

A magnesium ribbon is cleaned to remove the protective layer of basic magnesium carbonate from its surface, so that it may readily combine with the oxygen in air (on heating).

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnesium gets covered with a layer of magnesium oxide when kept in air for a long time. This layer hinders the burning of magnesium. Hence, it is to be cleaned before burning.

5.34x10 to the 27th power molecules of sulfur hexafluoride to moles of sulfur hexafluoride

Answers

Answer:

8.87 × 10³ moles.

Explanation:

To convert number of molecules of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) to moles (n), we divide by Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10²³)

That is; n = N ÷ nA

According to the question, 5.34 x 10^27 molecules of SF6 was given in this question. Hence, the number of moles it contains is given as:

n = 5.34 x 10^27 ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

n = 5.34/6.02 × 10^ (27-23)

n = 0.887 × 10⁴

n = 8.87 × 10³ moles.

The carbonyl carbon in a ketone is attacked primarily by the peroxy oxygen bonded to hydrogen as opposed to the peroxy oxygen bonded to carbon because:

Answers

Answer:

This is because peroxy oxygen bonded to hydrogen can easily undergo nucleophilic protonation with the carbonyl carbon to form an alcohol

Explanation:

A ketone is a functional group that contains a carbonyl group (carbon-oxygen double bond ( R1R2-C=O).

The carbonyl carbon doubly bonded to the oxygen is electron deficient as a result of difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen, hence is susceptible to nucleophilic attacks

R1R2 - C = O

where R1 and R2 are organic substituents.

The peroxy oxygen that is bonded to hydrogen (H -O-O-R) is the electron-rich centre and easily attacks electron-deficient centres like the carbonyl carbon in ketones to form an alcohol.

The bond between the hydrogen attached to the peroxy oxygen is broken and the resultant hydrogen ion undergoes protonation with the oxygen of the carbonyl group to form an alcohol

R1R2 - C = O + H - O-O - R =>

R1R2- CH - OH + R - O-O-R1

Na3N decomposes to form sodium and nitrogen gas at STP. If 13.7 L of nitrogen is produced
how many moles of Na3N was used? (22.4 L = 1 mole of any gas)
2Na3N --> 6Na + N2

Answers

Answer: 1.224 moles of [tex]Na_3N[/tex] were used.

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of nitrogen gas produced = 13.7 L

At STP conditions:

22.4 L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas

Applying unitary method:

13.7 L of nitrogen gas will be occupied by = [tex]\frac{1mol}{22.4L}\times 13.7L=0.612mol[/tex]

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]2Na_3N\rightarrow 6Na+N_2[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of nitrogen gas is produced by 2 mole of [tex]Na_3N[/tex]

So, 0.612 moles of nitrogen gas will be produced from = [tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.612=1.224mol[/tex] of [tex]Na_3N[/tex]

Hence, 1.224 moles of [tex]Na_3N[/tex] were used.

The bottle slides down the hill and is moving at a velocity of 14 meters/second the instant it hits the ground. The vertical height from where Jeff dropped the bottle is meters. Ignore friction, and use , PE = m × g × h, and g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answers

Answer:

10 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity (v) = 14 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

Next, we shall determine the energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 14 m/s

Kinetic Energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × m × 14²

KE = ½ × m × 196

KE = m × 98

Finally, we shall determine the height. This can be obtained as follow:

Kinetic energy (KE) = m × 98

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

Since the object is falling from a particular height,

Potential energy (PE) = kinetic energy (KE)

PE = mgh

KE = m × 98

m × 9.8 × h = m × 98

Divide both side by m × 9.8

h = m × 98 / m × 9.8

h = 10 m

Thus, the bottle was dropped from a height of 10 m

in heating a kettle of water on an electric stove, 3.34×10^3 J of thermal energy was provided by the element of the stove. yet, the water in the kettle gained only 5.95×10^2 J of thermal energy. determine the percent efficiency of the electrical element in heating the kettle of water​

Answers

Answer:

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element is approximately 82.186%

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The thermal energy provided by the stove element, [tex]H_{supplied}[/tex] = 3.34 × 10³ J

The amount thermal energy gained by the kettle, [tex]H_{absorbed}[/tex]  = 5.95 × 10² J

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element in heating the kettle of water, η%, is given as follows;

[tex]\eta \% = \dfrac{H_{supplied} - H_{absorbed} }{H_{supplied}} \times 100[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]\eta \% = \dfrac{3.34 \times 10^3 - 5.95 \times 10^2}{3.34 \times 10^3} \times 100 = \dfrac{549}{668} \times 100 \approx 82.186 \%[/tex]

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element, η% ≈ 82.186%.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

As Danny was pouring cereal for his breakfast, he noticed that the cereal box says that the cereal contains 5 milligrams of iron per serving. Danny decided to perform an experiment to test this claim. He found that the cereal contains 4.6 milligrams of iron per serving. Based on Danny's measurement, the value reported on the label is ( CORRECT OR INCCORECT) because A: (IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE VALUE DANNY MEASURED) B: (IT IS REORTED TO THE NEAREST MILLIGRAM) C: (IT USES THE SAME UNITS THAT DANNY USED).

Answer:

CORRECT because IT IS REORTED TO THE NEAREST MILLIGRAM

Explanation:

In mathematics, values may be rounded up or down as required. In the case of this measurement of cereals by Danny, it is customary to measure the amount of iron per serving to the nearest milligram.

As such, even though Danny found out that the actual amount of iron per serving in the cereal is 4.6 milligrams, the value reported on the cereal box is still correct because it was reported to the nearest milligram hence the value had to be rounded up.
