When water freezes it forms a lattice pattern and ______

1 answer:

3 0

When water freezes it forms a lattice pattern and expands. Because the water forms a crystal lattice when frozen, it's volume increases because the water molecules take up a lot of space but they aren't very compact.

What is the mass of water necessary to generate 11.2 L of hydrogen gas if calcium metal reacts with water at standard temperatur

12345 [234]

Answer:

The mass of water is 18 g

Explanation:

The reaction of calcium with water can be represented in the equation below:

Ca + 2H₂O --------->Ca(OH)₂ +H₂

1 Mole of gas at STP = 22.4L

From the displacement reaction above, calculate the mass of water that will produce 22.4L of hydrogen gas at STP.

Mass of 2H₂O = 2(2x1 + 16) = 2X18 = 36 g/mol

Using proportional analysis;

36 g of 2H₂O produced 22.4 L of H₂, then

what mass of 2H₂O will produce 11.2L of H₂ ?

Mathematically,

22.4 L ----------------------------------> 36g

11.2 L -----------------------------------> ?

Cross and multiply, to obtain the expression below

= (11.2 X 36)/22.4

= 18 g

Therefore, the mass of water is 18 g

Which of the following is true?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the energy available to do work, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:

$ΔG = ΔH - TΔS$

When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is

spontaneous in the opposite direction.

When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.

If both ΔH and ΔS are positive, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.

What is the volume of an irregular object if the initial volume in the graduated cylinder is 3.50 ml and it rises to 7.50 ml aft

Margarita [4]

Answer is: the volume of an irregular object is 4,00 ml.
Volume is the amount of space the object occupies and can be finded immersing it in water in a container with volume markings and than see how much the level of the container changes (goes up).
V(irregular object) = V(final volume) - V(initial volume).
V(irregular object) = 7,50 ml - 3,50 ml.
V(irregular object) = 4,00 ml.

What role does valence electrons play in reactivity for an element?

kirza4 [7]

Explanation:

The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.

Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.
