A drop of iquid mercury is D. <span> a pure substance and an element. This is because mercury is an element which exists as liquid in the normal or standard conditions. It is a metal that is toxic to all environments. It is pure because it is composed only of one kind of substance.</span>

Answer: D) a pure substance and an element

Explanation:

Mercury is an element which is composed of similar atoms and is a pure substance.

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Mixtures are impure substances and are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material.

How many moles of aluminum oxide al2o3 are in a sample with a mass of 204.0
erik [133]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

Let us first start by calculating the molecular mass of Al₂O₃.

The mass of a mole of any compound is called it's molar mass. 1 molar mass 6.02 X 10²³, or Avogadro's number, of compound entities.

Say, 1 mole of Al₂O₃ has 6.02 X 10²³ of Al₂O₃ molecules/atoms. It also has 2*6.02 X 10²³ number of Al atoms and 3*6.02 X 10²³ number of O atoms.

Molecular mass of Al : 26.981539 u

Molecular mass of O: 15.999 u

Therefore, molecular mass of Al₂O₃ is:

= (2*26.981539) + (3*15.999) u

= 101.960078 u

This can be approximated to 102 u.

1mole weighs 102 u

So, 2moles will weigh 2*102 = 204 u

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe
Viktor [21]
<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>
