Answer:

C. If lightning strikes the shed, the aluminum's free-floating electrons could easily conduct the electricity throughout the shed.

Explanation:

In metals there are many free flowing electrons that are shared by the metallic cation. The valence electrons are delocalized throughout the metal and therefore they can conduct electricity when lightning strikes the shed. Metallic bonds are different than covalent or ionic bonds.

In covalent bonds the electrons are shared between a pair of nonmetals. In ionic bonds electrons lost by the metal atom is gained by the non-metal thus giving rise to electrostatic forces of attraction between them.

What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?

natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be $\text{Li}^{+}$ .

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be $\text{Br}^{-}$

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like $\text{Li}^+$ are positive. Others ions like $\text{Br}^{-}$ are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one $\text{Li}^{+}$ ion balances the negative charge on one $\text{Br}^{-}$ ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. $\text{Li}^{+}$ is positive and $\text{Br}^{-}$ is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.

Which of the following represents the greatest number of atoms?

forsale [732]

The correct option is B. To get the number of atom for each compound, each element in the compound will be counted as an atom. For instance, for Fe[ClO4]2, there are 1 atom of Fe, 2 atoms of Cl, and 8 atoms of O, making a total of 11 atoms [1 + 2 + 8= 11]. The other options have less than 11 atoms.

three molecules of oxygen react with four molecules of hydrogen to produce water molecules write a balanced chemical equation

mixer [17]

Answer:

ExpC

→

This is the balanced reaction equation for the combustion of methane.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass basically states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. As such, we must be able to show this in our chemical reaction equations.

If you look at the equation above, you'll see an arrow that separates the reaction equation into two parts. This represents the direction of the reaction.

To the left of the arrow, we have our reactants.

To the right of the arrow, we have our products.

The quantity of each individual element in the left must equal the quantity of each individual element in the right.

So if you look below, you'll see the unbalanced equation, and I'll try to explain how to balance the reaction.

→

Our reactants in this equation are

and

Our next step is to break these down into individual atoms.

We have:

1 C atom, 4 H atoms & 2 O atoms.

If you're confused by this, look to see the little number to the bottom right of each element, the subscript, and it tells you how many of each atom are in the molecule. Make sense?

Now we look to the other side of the equation.

Here we see our products are

Again, we break these down into individual atoms again.

We have:

1 C atom, 2 H atom, 3 O atom

If the human body contains about 50 deciliters of blood, and the blood has about 15 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter, and all o

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The blood will contain 750 grams of O2

Explanation:

Volume of blood in the human body = 15 deciliters

Mass of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood = 15 grams

Mass of hemoglobin in 50 deciliters of blood = 50×15 = 750 grams

Since all the hemoglobin molecules are saturated with O2, mass of O2 in the blood will be the same as mass of hemoglobin molecules in the blood.

Therefore, mass of O2 in the blood is 750 grams
