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.

Which idea behind the shape of molecules includes the concept that electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs surrounding an
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

VSEPR theory

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory was propounded by Gillespie and Nylom (1957).

The entire idea of the VSEPR theory is that the shape of a molecule depends on the electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs surrounding the central atom in a molecule which causes these pairs to be separated as far as possible.

The shapes of many molecules can be accurately predicted based on this model.

A ballon begins at sea level at 1 atm. It rises in the atmosphere to where the pressure is lower, to where the pressure is .75 a
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Original volume=3L

Explanation:

Assuming the gas in the ballon is ideal and the temperature does not vary with height  we have the gas law as

PV=nRT

Here RHS is constant in both the conditions which means

PV=constant

Given P1=1 atm V1=V  P2=0.75atm V2=4L

P1V1=P2V2

1*V=0.75*4

V=3L

The initial volume of the gas is 3L

How many moles are in 39.5 grams of Lithium?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

185.05 g.

Explanation

Firstly, It is considered as a stichiometry problem.

From the balanced equation: 2LiCl → 2Li + Cl₂

It is clear that the stichiometry shows that 2.0 moles of LiCl is decomposed to give 2.0 moles of Li metal and 1.0 moles of Cl₂, which means that the molar ratio of LiCl : Li is (1.0 : 1.0) ratio.

We must convert the grams of Li metal (30.3 g) to moles (n = mass/atomic mass), atomic mass of Li = 6.941 g/mole.

n = (30.3 g) / (6.941 g/mole) = 4.365 moles.

Now, we can get the number of moles of LiCl that is needed to produce 4.365 moles of Li metal.

Using cross multiplication:

2.0 moles of LiCl → 2.0 moles of Li, from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.

??? moles of LiCl → 4.365  moles of Li.

The number of moles of LiCl that will produce 4.365 moles of Li (30.3 g) is (2.0 x 4.365 / 2.0) = 4.365 moles.

Finally, we should convert the number of moles of LiCl into grams (n = mass/molar mass).

Molar mass of LiCl = 42.394 g/mole.

mass = n x molar mass = (4.365 x 42.394) = 185.05 g.
