Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

B. It is highly flammable.

Explanation:

Chemical properties deal with how the substance will behave when brought into contact with other substances, and usually have to do with it undergoing some kind of reaction. Flammability is a chemical property.

Density, melting point, and color are all considered physical properties.

What is the second most abundant element in stars? A. helium B. iron C. hydrogen D. oxygen
devlian [24]
<span>The </span>abundance of a chemical element<span> is a measure of the </span>occurrence<span> of the </span>element<span> relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by the </span>mass-fraction<span> (the same as weight fraction); by the </span>mole-fraction<span> (fraction of atoms by numerical count, or sometimes fraction of molecules in gases); or by the </span>volume-fraction<span>. Volume-fraction is a common abundance measure in mixed gases such as planetary atmospheres, and is similar in value to molecular mole-fraction for gas mixtures at relatively low densities and pressures, and </span>ideal gas<span> mixtures. Most abundance values in this article are given as mass-fractions.

If a car can go from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50
tangare [24]

Answer:

87.5 mi/hr

Explanation:

Because a = Δv / Δt (a = vf - vi/ Δt), we need to find the acceleration first to know the change in velocity so we can determine the final velocity.

vf = 60 mi/hr

vi = 0 mi/hr

Δt = 8 secs

a = vf - vi/ Δt

= 60 mi/hr - 0 mi/hr/ 8 secs

= 60 mi/hr / 8 secs

= 7.5 mi/hr^2

Now that we know the acceleration of the car is 7. 5 mi/hr^2, we can substitute it in the acceleration formula to find the final velocity when the initial velocity is 50 mi/hr after 5 secs.

vi = 50 mi/ hr

Δt = 5 secs

a = 7.5 mi/ hr^2

a = vf - vi/ Δt

7.5 = vf - 50 mi/hr / 5 secs

37.5 = vf - 50

87.5 mi/ hr = vf

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Tju [1.3M]

Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
