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.

At a particular temperature, 12.0 moles of so3 is placed into a 3.0-l rigid container, and the so3 dissociates by the reaction 2
saul85 [17]
            2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I             12             0          0
C           -2x           +2x      +x
---------------------------------------------
E         12-2x          2x         x

Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5

The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]² 
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.

K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>

What is the SI unit for acceleration?
aivan3 [116]

Answer: m/s^2 (metre per second square)

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. The standard unit of measurement for acceleration is m/s^2 (metre per second square).

It can be derived from:

Acceleration = velocity / Time

Acceleration = (metre per second / second)

Acceleration = metre per second square.

In short form, it is written as m/s^2
