What is the most likely reason that nonmetals are electrical insulators?

The reason nonmetals are electrical insulator is since valence shells in nonmetal atoms are almost full, the atoms attract electrons and hold them tightly to fill their valence. The reason why it acts as an insulator is the high ionization energy it has. It prevents any electron from leaving an atom easily even when an electric field is applied.

When the equation 
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The least whole number coefficient for HNO₃ is 6

Explanation:

The chemical equation above is the reaction between calcium orthophosphate and nitric acid.

To balance a chemical equation, we have to consider law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

What this law implies is that, whatever we have at the reactant side must be equal to whatever is obtainable at the product side.

The above equation is

Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + HNO₃ → Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₃PO₄

To balance the equation, we'll have to check the number of atoms at each side and possibly balance the equation with the number of moles.

The balanced equation is

Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6HNO₃ → 3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2H₃PO₄

From the balanced equation above, we can see that the number of calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Oxygen(O), Nitrogen(N) and hydrogen (H) are balanced at both sides of the equation.

The least number coefficient for HNO₃ is 6

2. (2 pts) How would you prepare 1.5 liters of 2 M KCI (MW=74.55 g/mol)
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Dissolve 226 g of KCl in enough water to make 1.5 L of solution

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of KCl needed

n = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol}}{\text{1 L}}= \text{3.0 mol}

2. Calculate the mass of KCl

m = \text{3.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{74.55 g}}{\text{1 mol}}= \text{224 g}

3. Prepare the solution

  • Measure out 224 g of KCl.
  • Dissolve the KCl in a few hundred millilitres of distilled water.
  • Add enough water to make 1.5 L of solution. Mix thoroughly to get a uniform solution.
