Detalhes da Resposta
Sieving is a technique used to separate mixtures containing solid particles of different sizes. A sieve is a mesh or perforated screen that is used to separate particles based on their size. The mixture is poured onto the sieve, and the particles that are too large to pass through the holes are left on top, while the smaller particles fall through the holes and are collected below. This process allows for the separation of the different-sized particles, making it easier to purify or further process the mixture.

Calculate the pH of 0.05 moldm?3 H2 SO4
Detalhes da Resposta
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for calculating the pH of a solution, which is: pH = -log[H+] where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter. The given chemical equation is: H2SO4 + 2H2O → 2H3O+ + SO42- From this equation, we can see that one molecule of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) can donate two hydrogen ions (H+) to the solution, which means that the concentration of hydrogen ions is twice the concentration of sulfuric acid. Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ions in this solution is: [H+] = 2 x 0.05 moldm^-3 = 0.1 moldm^-3 Now we can use the formula for pH: pH = -log[H+] pH = -log(0.1) pH = 1.00 Therefore, the pH of the solution is 1.00.

If one of the following oxides is heated with hydrogen or carbon using a bunsen burner. it is not reduced to the metal, Which one is it?
Detalhes da Resposta
The oxide that cannot be reduced to the metal when heated with hydrogen or carbon using a Bunsen burner is magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound made up of positively charged magnesium ions and negatively charged oxygen ions. When heated with hydrogen or carbon, the oxygen ions are not easily removed from the compound. This is because the ionic bond between the magnesium and oxygen ions is very strong and requires a lot of energy to break. On the other hand, lead oxide, copper oxide, and tin oxide are all metal oxides and can be reduced to the metal by heating with hydrogen or carbon. This is because they have a weaker bond between the metal and oxygen ions, allowing the oxygen to be removed more easily when heated. In conclusion, magnesium oxide is the oxide that cannot be reduced to the metal when heated with hydrogen or carbon using a Bunsen burner.

Calculate the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV) [Ca=40, C=12, O=16]
Detalhes da Resposta
To calculate the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV), we first need to determine the molar mass of the compound. The compound has one calcium atom (Ca), one carbon atom (C), and three oxygen atoms (O). So, the molar mass of calcium trioxocarbonate(IV) can be calculated as follows: Molar mass = (1 × atomic mass of Ca) + (1 × atomic mass of C) + (3 × atomic mass of O) = (1 × 40) + (1 × 12) + (3 × 16) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100 g/mol Next, we need to determine the mass of oxygen in one mole of calcium trioxocarbonate(IV). The compound has three oxygen atoms, each with an atomic mass of 16 g/mol. Therefore, the total mass of oxygen in one mole of the compound is: Mass of oxygen = 3 × 16 = 48 g/mol Finally, to determine the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV), we divide the mass of oxygen by the molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100. Percentage of oxygen = (Mass of oxygen / Molar mass of compound) × 100 = (48 / 100) × 100 = 48% Therefore, the correct answer is 48, which represents the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV).

Detalhes da Resposta
During the electrolysis of copper II sulphate between platinum electrodes, if litmus solution is added to the anode compartment, the litmus will turn red and oxygen gas will be evolved. This is because during electrolysis, the positively charged copper ions (Cu2+) in the copper II sulphate solution are attracted to the negative cathode electrode, where they gain electrons and are reduced to form solid copper. At the same time, the negatively charged sulphate ions (SO42-) are attracted to the positive anode electrode, where they lose electrons and are oxidized to form oxygen gas and water. The litmus added to the anode compartment turns red because of the formation of oxygen gas, which is a highly reactive oxidizing agent that can react with the litmus to cause it to turn red. No hydrogen gas is evolved because hydrogen is produced at the cathode, which is in a separate compartment from the anode where the litmus is added.

Which of the following separation techniques can be employed in obtaining solvent from its solution?
Detalhes da Resposta
The separation technique that can be employed in obtaining a solvent from its solution is evaporation. Evaporation is a process that involves heating a solution to vaporize the solvent, leaving behind the solute. The vaporized solvent can then be condensed and collected as a pure liquid. This technique is commonly used in industry and laboratory settings to recover solvents from solutions, as it is a simple and effective way to purify liquids. Distillation can also be used to separate a solvent from a solution, but it is a more complex process that involves boiling the solution and then condensing the vapors in a separate apparatus. Filtration and precipitation are not suitable for separating a solvent from a solution, as they are primarily used to separate solid particles from a liquid mixture.

What is the concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution? [Na = 23, O =16, H = 1]
Detalhes da Resposta
The concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution is 0.40 moldm-3. This can be calculated by using the formula: molarity (M) = number of moles of solute / volume of solution (in liters) First, we need to calculate the number of moles of NaOH in the solution. The molar mass of NaOH is (23 + 16 + 1) = 40 g/mol. So, 2g of NaOH is equal to 2/40 = 0.05 moles. Next, we need to convert the volume of the solution from cm3 to liters. 1 cm3 = 0.001 liters, so 100 cm3 = 0.1 liters. Finally, we can calculate the molarity as follows: M = 0.05 moles / 0.1 liters = 0.5 mol/L = 0.50 moldm-3 So, the concentration of the solution is 0.50 moldm-3.

Detalhes da Resposta
The figure shows the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. During electrolysis, an electric current is passed through a molten or dissolved ionic compound to separate the ions. The positive ions move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and the negative ions move towards the positive electrode (anode). In the figure, the electrode connected to the positive terminal of the battery is the anode and the electrode connected to the negative terminal is the cathode. At the anode, the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) lose electrons and are oxidized to form chlorine gas (Cl2). At the cathode, the positively charged sodium ions (Na+) gain electrons and are reduced to form liquid sodium metal (Na). Therefore, the answer is (a) anode where the Cl- ions are oxidized. Z is the anode in the figure.

Detalhes da Resposta
The ionic radii of metals are usually smaller than their atomic radii. The size of an atom is determined by the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electrons, which is known as the atomic radius. When a metal atom loses one or more electrons to form a positive ion (or cation), the resulting ion has a smaller size than the original atom. This is because the positive charge of the ion attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, making the ion smaller in size. So, when a metal forms a cation, its ionic radius is typically smaller than its atomic radius. This is a general trend in the periodic table, although there are some exceptions.

Detalhes da Resposta
The solubility of solids in a given solvent is the amount of solid that can dissolve in the solvent to form a solution. When a solid dissolves in a solvent, it releases heat. The solubility of the solid in the solvent can be affected by changes in temperature. Generally, when the temperature of a solution increases, the solubility of the solid in the solvent increases as well. This is because the increased heat energy makes it easier for the solid particles to separate and dissolve in the solvent. As a result, the solubility of the solid in the solvent will increase with an increase in temperature. On the other hand, if the temperature decreases, the solubility of the solid in the solvent decreases. This is because the decreased heat energy makes it harder for the solid particles to separate and dissolve in the solvent. As a result, the solubility of the solid in the solvent will decrease with a decrease in temperature. In summary, the solubility of solids in a given solvent will generally increase with an increase in temperature and decrease with a decrease in temperature.

Detalhes da Resposta
The periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements based on their atomic numbers. The periodic table is a chart that lists all the known chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number, arranged in rows and columns according to their electronic structure and chemical properties. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. Each element has a unique atomic number, which determines its position in the periodic table. The elements are arranged in rows called periods, and in columns called groups or families. Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom. The periodic table is an incredibly useful tool for chemists because it allows them to predict the properties of elements based on their position in the table. For example, elements in the same group tend to form similar compounds, so if you know the properties of one element in a group, you can often predict the properties of the other elements in that group. In summary, the periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements based on their atomic numbers. The periodic table is a chart that organizes the elements into rows and columns based on their electronic structure and chemical properties, allowing scientists to make predictions about the behavior of the elements based on their position in the table.

Detalhes da Resposta
The free chlorine atom that breaks off from a chlorofluorocarbon molecule will be very reactive and will attack ozone in the upper atmosphere. Ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms, and when the free chlorine atom reacts with ozone, it breaks the ozone molecule into two separate oxygen molecules. This reaction reduces the amount of ozone in the atmosphere, which is known as ozone depletion. Over time, this can lead to a thinning of the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Detalhes da Resposta
The kinetic energy of particles increases with an increase in temperature. In the Kinetic Theory, temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move, and the more energy they have. Think of it like this: if you throw a ball, it will have more energy and travel farther if you throw it harder. Similarly, if you heat up a substance, its particles will move faster and have more energy. So, the answer is that an increase in temperature causes the kinetic energy of particles to increase.
