Answer: orderly arrangement of particles

Explanation:

In a crystaline solid, the particles that compose the solid are arranged or packed in an orderly manner to form a three dimensional crystal lattice with a defined structure. Sodium chloride is a crystaline solid.

In an amorphous solid, the particles that compose the solid aren't arranged in an orderly manner hence the solid tends to be brittle, e.g glass

8255 min = _?_days<br> I need help please

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

5.733 days

Explanation:

To convert from minuets to days we must first convert minuets to hours. To do this we divide by 60 since there are 60 minuets in one hour.

8255 min ÷ 60 = 137.6 hr

Now that we have the amount of hours we can convert to days by dividing by 24 since there are 24 hours in one day.

137.6 hr ÷ 24 = 5.733 days

The formula for binary ionic compound formed between cesium and fluorine

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Cesium fluoride(CsF)

Explanation:

A binary compound is a compound that is composed of 2 distinct element. An ionic compound is composed of ions, usually one is a metal why the other is a non metal. One element gives out electron to form cation and the other receives electron to form anion in a binary compound.

Cesium is a group 1 element and it has one valence electron and it can easily donate this 1 electron to form a bond with other element. Group 1 element are generally very reactive. Cesium is a metal

Fluorine is in group 7 of the periodic table and is a non metal .Fluorine have 7 valency electron and requires 1 electron to form a stable octet.

When cesium and fluorine bond to form a binary compound cesium donate 1 electron and fluorine receives the 1 electron for both element to form a stable octet. The formula for the binary ionic compound of cesium and fluorine can therefore be expressed as Cesium fluoride(CsF)

How many moles is 17.6 g NaOH?

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. 0.440 \ mol \ NaOH}}$

Explanation:

To convert from moles to grams, the molar mass is used (mass of 1 mole). The values are the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units.

<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>

We are given the compound sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and we need to look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
O: 15.999 g/mol
H: 1.008 g/mol

The formula for the compound has no subscripts, so there is 1 mole of each element in 1 mole of the substance. We can simply add the molar masses.

NaOH: 22.9897693 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.9967693 g/mol

This means there are 39.9967693 grams of sodium hydroxide in 1 mole.

<h3>2. Convert Grams to Moles </h3>

Use the molar mass we found as a ratio.

$\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH}{ 1 \ mol \ NaOH}$

Since we are converting 17.6 grams of NaOH to moles, we multiply by this value.

$17.6 \ g\ NaOH *\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH}{ 1 \ mol \ NaOH}$

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of NaOH cancel.

$17.6 \ g\ NaOH *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH}{ 39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH}$

$17.6 *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH}{ 39.9967693}$

$\frac{17.6 }{ 39.9967693} \ mol \ NaOH$

$0.4400355406 \ mol \ NaOH$

<h3>3. Round </h3>

The original measurement of grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.

0.4400355406

The 0 in the ten thousandths place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 0 in the thousandth place.

$0.440 \ mol \ NaOH$

17.6 grams of sodium hydroxide are equal to <u>0.440 moles of sodium hydroxide.</u>
