A) What characteristics of physical properties distinguish metals from nonmetals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a)

Metals: are shiny, malleable and ductile, they can conduct electricity and heat,  form cations in aqueous solutions.

Nonmetals: non-lustrous, brittle, not good conductors of heat and electricity, form anions in aqueous solutions.

b)

Metals are located in the left side of the periodic table

Nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table.

c)

Metal are use to make pans because they are good conductors of heat and also are malleable and ductile.

Nonmetals are used to make sleeping bags and coolers because they do not conduct heat so they can isolate matter.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Δ S = 26.2 J/K

Explanation:

The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula  -

Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )

Where ,

Δ S = change in entropy

m = mass  = 2.00 kg

Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .

T₂ = final temperature  10.0°C + 273 = 283 K

T₁ = initial temperature ,  40.0°C + 273 = 313 K

Applying the above formula ,

The change in entropy is calculated as ,

ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )  = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )

ΔS = 26.2 J/K

What is ionic bond,,,?​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

An ionic bond is the bonding between a non-metal and a metal, that occurs when charged atoms (ions) attract.

Explanation:

Here I put the function of Iconic Bond.

  • <em>Ionic bonds form so that the outermost energy level of atoms are filled. Ion. an atom or group of atoms that bring out a positive or negative electric charge as a result of having lost or gained one or more electrons.</em>

<em>Therefore, I hope this helps!</em>

Well, we might as well try a similar question. Magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aque
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.

The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.

It was therefore oxidized.

Please do react or comment if you need clarification or if the answer helped you. This can help other users as well. Thank you.

The Fischer esterification mechanism is examined in this question. The overall reaction is: Benzoic acid, C H 3 O H and H C l re
elena55 [62]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Fischer esterification is a type of reaction used  to convert carboxylic acids to ester in the presence of excess alcohol and a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. Another final product formed in the reaction is water.

The mechanism for the fischer esterification of Benzoic acid and  C H 3 O H in the presence of HCl as the catalyst is shown in the image attached to this answer.

The final products of the reaction are methyl benzoate, water and H^+ as shown in the image attached.

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is
Zinaida [17]

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is hollow cathode lamp--flame--monochromator--detector

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The hollow cathode lamp practices a cathode created of the element of interest with a low internal pressure of inert gas.
  • Remove scattered light of other wavelengths from the flame. AAS flame includes aiming at first the fuel than the oxidant and then lighting the flame with the instrument's auto-ignition system. Applying flame Ddtroy any analyte ions and breakdown complexes.
  • The process  of the monochromator is to divide analytical lines photons moving through the flame
  • Photomultiplier tube (PMT)  as the detector the PMT determines the intensity of photons of the analytical line exiting the monochromator.
