Why was the term inert gases dropped? Why was the term inert gases dropped? The term "inert" was dropped because hydrogen was ad

dviced to be included to "inert" gases. The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements. The term "inert" was dropped because some organic gases such as methane were named "inert", too, and confusion happened. The term "inert" was dropped because author's rights for the term ended and scientists obtained possibility to change it.

Answer:

B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.

Explanation:

Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.

Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.

After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.

lora16 [44]

Answer: Please see answer below

Explanation:

Mecury vapor lamp is better to use than Sodium vapor light, this is because  because

---The Filaments of the lamp in sodium  emit fast moving electrons, which causes valence electrons of the sodium atoms to excite to higher energy levels which when electrons after being excited, relax by emitting yellow light which concentrates on the the  monochromatic bright yellow part of the visible spectrum which is about  580-590 or about (589nm) which will fall incident on the calibrations making it difficult to see

While

In Mercury vapor lamp, The emitted  electrons from the filaments, after having been excited  by high voltage, hit the mercury atoms but the excited electrons of mercury atoms relax and emits an  ultraviolet  uv invisible lights falling on the mecury vapour lamp to produce white light  covering  a wide range of  (380-780 nm) which is visible that is why it is used for calibrations purposes in  lightening applications.

If an unknown sample contains 39.04% sulfuric acid by mass, then a 0.9368 g of that sample would require _____ mL of 0.2389 M Na
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

A) 31.22

Explanation:

The reaction of sulfuric acid with NaOH is:

H₂SO₄ + 2 NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

To solve this problem we need to determine the moles of acid that will react, and, using the chemical equation we can determine the moles of NaOH and the volume that a 0.2389M NaOH solution would require to neutralize it.

<em>Moles H₂SO₄ (Molar mass: 98.08g/mol):</em>

0.9368g * 39.04% = 0.3657g H₂SO₄ * (1mol / 98.08g) =

3.7289x10⁻³moles H₂SO₄

And moles of NaOH that you require to neutralize the acid are:

3.7289x10⁻³moles H₂SO₄ * (2 moles NaOH / 1 mole H₂SO₄) =

7.4578x10⁻³ moles NaOH

Using a 0.2389M NaOH solution:

7.4578x10⁻³ moles NaOH * (1L / 0.2389mol) = 0.03122L = 31.22mL

Right answer is:

<h3>A) 31.22 </h3>

A beach ball has a mass of 5 g and a volume of 20 cm3. What is the object's density?
ivann1987 [24]
Mass = 5 g

volume = 20 cm³

density = mass / volume

therefore:

D = m / V

D = 5 / 20

D = 0.25 g/cm³
