Answer:

d. Transition metal

Explanation:

A transition metal is an element which has an atom or forms an ion with a partially-filled d-subshell.

As we can see from the electronic configuration of Copper 2+ ion, Cu²⁺:

$_{27}Cu^{2+} = 1s^2\space\ 2s^2 \space\ 2p^6 \space\ 3s^2 \space\ 3p^6 \space\ 3d^9$ ,

copper forms an ion with an incomplete d-subshell that contains 9 electrons; therefore copper is a transition metal.

• Option a. is wrong because copper is not a metalloid. Metalloids have characteristics of both metals and non-metals; copper only has metallic properties.

• Option b. is wrong because 'alkaline earth metals' are the elements in Group 2 of the periodic table; copper is in Group 11.

• Option c. is wrong because 'alkali metals' are in Group 1 of the periodic table.

The vapor pressure of liquid chloroform, CHCl3, is 100. mm Hg at 283 K. A 0.380 g sample of liquid CHCl3 is placed in a closed,

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

100 mm Hg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The vapor pressure of CHCl3, is $P = 100 \ mmHg = \frac{100}{760}= 0.13156 \ atm$

The temperature of CHCl3 is $T = 283 \ K$

The volume of the container is $V_c = 380mL = 380 *10^{-3}\ L$

The temperature of the container is $T_c = 283 \ K$

The mass of CHCl3 is m = 0.380 g

Generally the number of moles of CHCl3 present before evaporation started is mathematically represented as

$n = \frac{m }{M }$

Here M is the molar mass of CHCl3 with the value $M = 119.38 \ g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{ 0.380 }{119.38 }$

=> $n = 0.00318 \ mols$

Generally the number of moles of CHCl3 gas that evaporated is mathematically represented as

$n_g = \frac{PV}{RT}$

Here R is the gas constant with value $R = 0.08206 L \ atm /mol\cdot K$

$n_g = \frac{0.13156* 380 *10^{-3} }{0.08206 * 283}$

$n_g = 0.00215 \ mols$

Given that the number of moles of CHCl3 evaporated is less than the number of moles of CHCl3 initially present , then it mean s that not all the liquid evaporated

At equilibrium the temperature of CHCl3 will be equal to the pressure of air so the pressure at equilibrium is 100 mmHg

Which of the following is the largest volume? 4.0 x 101 m3 3.8 x 107 cm3 3.8 x 105 dm3 3.8 x 108 mm3

fiasKO [112]

Answer : Option A) 4.0 X 101 $m^{3}$

Explanation : As per the measurement chart the greatest metric system is measured in meters.

So the rest values are given in the form of metric values which are obviously less than that of meters. values of centimeters, decimeter and millimeters are less than that of meters.

A chemist requires 0.802 mol Na2CO3 for a reaction. How many grams does this correspond to?

Komok [63]

Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So grams = mols*MolarMass. Here, MolarMass (MM) = 105.99g which can be found using the periodic table. mols is given to be 0.802. We can then plug in to get that it corresponds to 85.0g.

What is the new boiling point if 25 g of NaCl is dissolved in 1.0 kg of water

Inessa05 [86]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one:

Given that:
delta Tb = Kbm Kb H2O = 0.52 degrees C/m
delta Tf = Kfm Kf H2O = 1.86 degrees C/m

We need to know the formula for Molality.
molality = mol solute / kg solvent

We are given the amount of solute in grams
Since amount of solute is given in moles, we have to convert 25 g NaCl to moles. Divide by molar mass. 

25 g NaCl / 58.5 g/mol = 0.427 mol 

Then, use the formula for molality. 

molality = mol solute / kg solvent 
= 0.427 / 1 
= 0.427 m 

Use now the formula to get the boiling point.

delta Tb = Kbm 
= (0.52)(0.427) 
= 0.22C
