8. What group numbers are the transition elements in?

1 answer:

3 0

The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals". As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. The interesting thing about transition metals is that their valence electrons, or the electrons they use to combine with other elements, are present in more than one shell. This is the reason why they often exhibit several common oxidation states. There are three noteworthy elements in the transition metals family. These elements are iron, cobalt, and nickel, and they are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field I HOPE THIS HELP:)

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?

e-lub [12.9K]

The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
ΔT = (kf) x m
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

5. How can you tell the difference between CuS and Cu2S

puteri [66]

Answer:

Density, melting point. and magnetic properties

Explanation:

I can think of three ways.

1. Density

The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.

It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.

2. Melting point

Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).

A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.

3. Magnetic properties

You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.

In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.

In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.

A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.

A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.

In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.

What is the pH of 0.10 M NaF(aq). The Ka of HF is 6.8 x 10-4

dsp73

Given information:

Concentration of NaF = 0.10 M

Ka of HF = 6.8*10⁻⁴

To determine:

pH of 0.1 M NaF

Explanation:

NaF (aq) ↔ Na+ (aq) + F-(aq)

[Na+] = [F-] = 0.10 M

F- will then react with water in the solution as follows:

F- + H2O ↔ HF + OH-

Kb = [OH-][HF]/[F-]

Kw/Ka = [OH-][HF]/[F-]

At equilibrium: [OH-]=[HF] = x and [F-] = 0.1 - x

10⁻¹⁴/6.8*10⁻⁴ = x²/0.1-x

x = [OH-] = 1.21*10⁻⁶ M

pOH = -log[OH-] = -log[1.21*10⁻⁶] = 5.92

pH = 14 - pOH = 14-5.92 = 8.08

Ans: (b)

pH of 0.10 M NaF is 8.08
