Answer: option B. metals.

Justification:

1) Elements can be classified into three main categories: metals, nonmetals, and metaloids.

The metals constitute the most of the elements, which you can see in a periodic table.

2) Most metals are ductiles and malleables, which means that they can be formed into thin sheets and wires.

3) The nonmetals are either gases or brittle solids, ergo they are not malleables.

4) Metalloids have some metallic properties, son nonmetallic properties, and some intermediate properties. They are not malleable nor ductile. There are only 8 metalloids: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium and astatine. They are brittle.

The malleabillity is a typical property of the metals.

Assuming that sea water is a 3.5 wt % solution of NaCl in water, calculate its osmotic pressure at 20°C. The density of a 3.5% N

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

π = 14.824 atm

Explanation:

wt % = ( w NaCL / w sea water ) * 100 = 3.5 %

assuming w sea water = 100 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ w NaCl = 3.5 g

osmotic pressure ( π ):

π = C NaCl * R * T

∴ T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K

∴ C ≡ mol/L

∴ density sea water = 1.03 Kg/L....from literature

⇒ volume sea water = 0.1 Kg * ( L / 1.03 Kg ) = 0.097 L sln

⇒ mol NaCl = 3.5 g NaCL * ( mol NaCL / 58.44 g ) = 0.06 mol

⇒ C NaCl = 0.06 mol / 0.097 L = 0.617 M

⇒ π = 0.617 mol/L * 0.082 atm L / K mol * 293 K

⇒ π = 14.824 atm

What is the mass of 1.2 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

14.93 g

Explanation:

First we convert 1.2 x 10²³ atoms of arsenic (As) into moles, using Avogadro's number:

1.2 x 10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.199 mol As

Then we can calculate the mass of 0.199 moles of arsenic, using its molar mass:

0.199 mol * 74.92 g/mol = 14.93 g

Thus, 1.2x10²³ atoms of arsenic weigh 14.93 grams.

For the following reaction, 38.3 grams of sulfuric acid are allowed to react with 33.5 grams of calcium hydroxide sulfuric acid(

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

What is the maximum amount of calcium sulfate that can be formed? 53.1 grams CaSO4

What is the FORMULA for the limiting reagent? H2SO4

What amount of the excess reagent remains after the reaction is complete? 4.59 grams of Ca(OH)2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfuric acid = 38.3 grams

Molar mass of H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Mass of calcium hydroxide = 33.5 grams

Molar mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74.09 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2SO4

moles H2SO4 = mass H2SO4 / molar mass H2SO4

moles H2SO4 = 38.3 grams / 98.08 g/mol

moles H2SO4 = 0.390 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Ca(OH)2

moles Ca(OH)2 = 33.5 grams / 74.09 g/mol

moles Ca(OH)2 =0.452 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol H2SO4, we need 1 mol of Ca(OH)2 to produce, 1 mol of CaSO4 and 2 mol of H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.390 moles).

Ca(OH)2 is in excess. There will be consumed 0.390 moles

There will remain 0.452 - 0.390 = 0.062 moles

This is 0.062 * 74.09 g/mol = 4.59 grams

Step 6: Calculate moles of calcium sulfate

For 1 mol H2SO4, we need 1 mol of Ca(OH)2 to produce, 1 mol of CaSO4 and 2 mol of H2O

For 0.390 moles of H2SO4, there will be produced 0.390 moles of CaSO4

Step 7: Calculate mass of CaSO4

Mass CaSO4 = moles CaSO4 * molar mass CaSO4

Mass CaSO4 = 0.390 moles * 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 = 53.1 grams
