Nonnumeric, or conceptual problems, differ from numeric problems in a sense that solutions to conceptual problems do not involve or need calculations. It just need your knowledge on that specific subject and you just have to analyze the question and understand it to answer correctly.

Explanation:

Non numeric problems are designed only test the conceptual clarity of the pupil without going into details of calculations. Generally, conceptual problems are asked to check the basic understanding of the topic or the subject

Whereas numerical problem are asked to check whether the student is able to apply the concept or not, through some real world data.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

This question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points. An aqueous antifreeze solution is 39.0% ethylene gl

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Molality = 10.300 m

Molarity = 6.5970 M

mole fraction = 0.156549

Explanation:

39.0 % = ethylene glycol

61.0 % = water

imagine the total mass = 100g

39.0% ethylene glycol = 39g

61.0 % water = 61g

1) Molality = number of moles / mass of solvent (kg)

Molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62.07g/mole

mole = 39g / 62.07g/mole = 0.6283 moles

Molality = moles / mass of solvent = 0.6283 moles / 0.061kg = 10.300 m

2) Molarity = number of moles / volume of solution

Since we know the density of the solution = 1.05g /ml

⇒ volume = 100g / 1.05g /mL = 95.24 mL = 0.09524 L

Molarity = 0.6283 moles / 0.09524 L = 6.5970 M

3) Mole fraction

moles water = 61g / 18.02g/mole = 3.38513 moles

Total number of moles = moles of ethylene glycol + moles of water = 0.6283 + 3.38513 = 4.0134276 moles

Mole fraction = 0.6283/ 4.0134276 = 0.156549

What does it mean for heat to be transferred by radiation?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

It means that the heat comes directly at you without relying on any material to conduct it.

For example, you feel the heat from a campfire even if the wind is blowing crosswise to you and the fire.

A hydrocarbon of pentane has two isomeric forms—n-pentane and iso-pentane. The molecular formula of the n-pentane is C5H12. Pred

Monica [59]

An iso pentane is an isomeric form of n-pentane. Isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the atomic arragement projected in 3D and the arrangement of atoms primarily resulting to a different set of properties. In this case, isopentane also has a molecular formula of an alkane C5H12

Why is Dalton credited with proposing the first atomic theory if Democritus was talking about atoms almost 2,200 years earlier?

german

Democritus *suggested* the existence of the atom, that everything was made up of tiny particles, but wasn't really able to get more specific than that. Dalton also theorized that everything was made up of indivisible particles, but went further basing his theory on actual scientific principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. He also said that atoms weren't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, just rearranged. There's more to it than that, but basically, Dalton's theory was based more on science while Democritus' theory was too general to be useful in chemical situations.
