Analysis of an unknown substance indicates that it is a brittle solid. It acts as an electrical insulator (does not conduct) as a solid but conducts electricity when melted. Which of the following substances would have these characteristics?

a. HCl
b. Al
c. KBr
d. SiF4
e. I2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

KBr

Explanation:

A metal has a very high melting point. Aluminum is a metal.

Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in the solid state. However, when the solids are melted, they conduct electricity.

KBr is an ionic substance, it can only conduct electricity in molten form because the ions are locked up in the solid.

How many moles of ethane gas, C2H6(g), will occupy 15.0 L at 30 degrees Celsius and 5.0 atm?

Answers

Answer:

3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of ethane = 15.0 L

Temperature = 30°C

Pressure = 5.0 atm

Number of moles of ethane = ?

Solution:

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

30+273 = 303 K

5.0 atm × 15.0 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 303 K

75 atm.L =  n× 24.87 atm.L/ mol

n = 75 atm.L / 24.87 atm.L/ mol

n = 3 mol

Answers

Answer:

Well, electrons can be converted into a atomic number so if SE atomic number is 34 that means it has 34 electrons. AI has a atomic number of 13 meaning it has 13 electrons. So the difference is that SE has more electrons then AI.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the given instructions, on the attached picture you will find the required Lewis structure, whereas there is a double bond between the two carbon atoms, and one of those is bonded to the nitrogen; moreover the terminal carbon has two out of five hydrogen atoms, the middle carbon, one out of five and the nitrogen atom has two out of five hydrogen atoms; therefore the molecule would be ethenamine.

Answers

Answer:

Mg(NO4)2 is 180.3 g/mol

Explanation:

First find the substance formula.

Magnesium Nitrate.

Magnesium is a +2 charge.

Nitrate is a -1 charge.

So to balance the chemical formula,

We need 1 magnesium atom for every nitrate atom.

2(1) + 1(-2) = 0

So the substance formula is Mg(NO4)2.

Now find the molar mass of Mg(NO4)2.

Mg = 24.3 amu

N = 14.0 amu

O = 16.0 amu

They are three nitrogen and twelve oxygen atoms.

So you do this: 24.3 + 14.0(2) + 16.0(8) = 180.3 g/mol

So the molar is mass is 180.3 g/mol.

The final answer is Mg(NO4)2 is 180.3 g/mol

The following is a procedure that was theoretically performed by a student. Read through the procedure and answer the questions below.1.A 10.0 mL graduated cylinder to measure 10.0 mL of a 1.00 M CaCl2 solution into an initially empty 50.0 mL beaker.2.A 50.0 mL graduated cylinder was then used to measure out 25.0 mL of 0.500 M K2CO3. This K2CO3solution was then added to the beaker containing the CaCl2 solution. The solution became cloudy, and the student concluded that a precipitate must have formed. Write a balanced chemical reaction below, including phases, and identify the chemical formula of the precipitate:

Answers

Answer:

CaCl2 (aq) + K2CO3(aq) ---------> CaCO3(s) + 2KCl(aq)

Explanation:

We have the reactants as calcium chloride and potassium carbonate. Recall that we are expecting that the reaction will yield a precipitate. We must keep that in mind as we seek to write its balanced chemical reaction equation.

So we now have;

CaCl2 (aq) + K2CO3(aq) ---------> CaCO3(s) + 2KCl(aq)

Recall that the rule of balancing chemical reaction equation states that the number of atoms of each element on the right side of the reaction equation must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.

the reaction between potassium metal and water produces potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

the correct equation for this reaction is:

A: K + H2O—> KOH + H2
B: K + H2O—>KOH + H
C: 4K + 3H2O—> 4KOH + 2H
D: 2K + 2 H2O—> 2KOH + H2

Answers

Answer:

2K   +   2H₂O   →   2KOH  + H₂

Explanation:

The reactants are:

    Potassium metal  = K

    Water  = H₂O

 The products are:

  Potassium hydroxide  = KOH

  Hydrogen gas  = H₂  

The reaction equation is given as;  

                Reactants   →   Products

        2K   +   2H₂O   →   2KOH  + H₂

The reaction is a single displacement reaction

You have a 500.0 ml graduated cylinder filled with 100.0 mL of water. You carefully add a 178.5 gram piece of iron (density of iron = 7.87 g/mL). What is the final volume reading in the graduated cylinder after adding the iron piece?​

Answers

Answer:

122.7 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of water: 100.0 mLMass of the piece iron (m): 178.5 gDensity of iron (ρ): 7.87 g/mL

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the piece of iron

Density is equal to the mass of the piece divided by its volume.

ρ = m/V

V = m/ρ

V = 178.5 g/(7.87 g/mL) = 22.7 mL

Step 3: Calculate the volume of the mixture

The volume of the mixture is equal to the sum of the volume of water and the iron piece.

100.0 mL + 22.7 mL = 122.7 mL

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.8635 g of CO2 and 0.1767 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answers

Answer: The empirical formula is [tex]C_3H_3O_2[/tex].

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

[tex]C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 0.8635

Mass of [tex]H_2O[/tex]= 0.1767 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.8635 g of carbon dioxide, =[tex]\frac{12}{44}\times 0.8635=0.2355g[/tex] of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.1767 g of water, =[tex]\frac{2}{18}\times 0.1767=0.0196g[/tex] of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.4647) - (0.2355+0.0196) = 0.2096 g

Mass of C = 0.2355 g

Mass of H = 0.0196 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =[tex] \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{0.2355g}{12g/mole}=0.0196moles[/tex]

Moles of H=[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.0196g}{1g/mole}=0.0196moles[/tex]

Moles of O=[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{0.2096g}{16g/mole}=0.0131moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =[tex]\frac{0.0196}{0.0131}=1.5[/tex]

For H =[tex]\frac{0.0196}{0.0131}=1.5[/tex]

For O = [tex]\frac{0.0131}{0.0131}=1[/tex]

The ratio of C : H: O = 1.5 : 1 .5 : 1

Converting to simple whole number ratio:

The ratio of C : H: O = 3 : 3: 2

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]C_3H_3O_2[/tex].
