Capillarity. Capillary action is what causes anything with a wick to work, think about when you stick the corner of a paper towel in water, the water soaks up the paper towel.

A solution is created by dissolving 11.0 grams of ammonium chloride in enough water to make 235 mL of solution. How many moles o

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.206 moles

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation of the number of moles of ammonium chloride is available in the resulting solution is given below:

Given that

Amount of $NH_4Cl$ is 11.0 grams

And, the volume is 235 mL

Now the molar mass of $NH_4Cl$ is 53.49g/mol

So, the number of moles presented is

= 11.0 ÷ 53.49

= 0.206 moles

hence, the number of moles of ammonium chloride are available in the resulting solution is 0.206 moles

On the periodic table, calcium is in group 2. What is true about calcium?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calcium is all around us. The average human contains approximately 1kg of calcium, of which 99% is stored in our bones. It is the 5th most abundant element in the earth's crust, occurring widely as calcium carbonate which is more commonly known as limestone. It is also the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater.

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of

katovenus [111]

Answer: $4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Fe^{3+}$ cation and oxide $O^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $Fe_2O_3$ .

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Answer:

Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.
