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.

How do core electrons relate to the ionization energy of the atom?

Archy [21]

Answer:

For any given element, ionization energy increases as subsequent electrons are removed. For example, the energy required to remove an electron from neutral chlorine is 1251 kJ/mol. ... An even sharper increase in ionization energy is witnessed when inner-shell, or core, electrons are removed.

Hope it helps :)

How many electrons in the same atom can share the quantum number n = 2?

melisa1 [442]

With the principle quantum number being 2, the maximum number that can share this is 8. You can use the general formula 2n^2 to calculate this number (n=quantum level), or you can use the concept of quantum numbers (n, l, m, s) to justify this answer.

A 20g piece of lead absorbs 566 joules of heat and its temperature changes from 35 oC to 195 oC. Calculate the specific heat.

Alja [10]

Answer:

Question 1: 0.2J/(gºC)

Question 2: 6,000J

Question 3: 300J

Question 4: 80g

Question 5: 74ºC

Question 6: 50g

Explanation:

Question 1. A 20g piece of lead absorbs 566 joules of heat and its temperature changes from 35º oC to 195º C. Calculate the specific heat.

The thermal energy equation is:

Q = m × C × ΔT

Substitute and solve for C:

566J = 20g × C × (195ºC - 35ºC)

C = 566J / (20g × 160ºC)

C = 0.177 J/(gºC) ≈ 0.2J/(gºC)

You must round to one significant figure because one factor has one significant figure).

Qustion 2. 40g of water is heat at 40ºC and the temperature rise to 75ºC. What is the amount of heat needed for the temperature to rise? (specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gºC)

Use the thermal energy equation again:

Q = m × C × ΔT

Substitute and compute:

Q = 40g × 4.184 J/gºC × (75ºC - 40ºC)

Q = 5,857.6J

Round to one significant figure: 6,000J

Question 3. Graphite has a mass of 50g and a specific heat of 0.420 J/gºC. If graphite is cooled from 50ºC to 35ºC, how much energy was lost?

Q = m × C × ΔT

Q = 50g × 0.420J/gºC × (35ºC - 50ºC)

Q = 315J

Round to one significant figure (because 50g has one significant figure)

Q = 300J

Question 4. Iron has a specific heat of 0.712 J/gºC. A piece of iron absorbs 3000J of energy and undergoes a temperature change totaling 50ºC, What is the mass of iron?

Q = m × C × ΔT

Solve for m:

m = Q / (C × ΔT)

Substitute and compute:

m = 3,000J / (0.712J/gºC × 50ºC)

m = 84.26 g ≈ 80 g (rounded to one significant figure, because the factor 3,000J has one significant figure).

Question 5. If 400g of an unknown solution at 70ºC loses 7500 J of heat, what is the final temperature of the unknown solution. The unknown solution has a specific heat of 4.184 J/gºC.

Q = m × C × ΔT

Q is negative, since it is released.

Substitute and solve for T:

- 7,500J = 400g × 4.184J/gºC × (T - 70ºC)

T = - 7500J / 400g × 4.184J/gºC) + 70ºC

T = 74ºC

If you round to one significant figure you cannot tell the temperature difference, thus leave two significant figures.

Question 6. How many grams of water would require 9500J of heat to raise the temperature from 50ºC to 100ºC

Q = m × C × ΔT

Subsitute:

9,500J = m × 4.184J/gºC × (100ºC - 50ºC)

Solve for m and compute:

m = 9,500J / (4.184J/gºC × 50ºC)

m = 45g

Since the temperatures indicate one singificant figure, the mass should be rounded to one significant figure:

m = 50g.

The pOH of a solution is 6.0. Which statement is correct?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer : Option D) The pH of the solution is 8.0.

Explanation : pOH of a solution is a measure of hydroxide ion $(OH^{-})$ concentration in a particular solution. It gives the measure of alkalinity of a solution. Normally, aqueous solutions at 25°C have pOH which is less than 7 are usually alkaline, when pOH is found to be greater than 7 then they are acidic and when pOH will be equal to 7 then it is neutral.

pH + pOH = 14, this relationship is used to find pH of any unknown solution with given pOH value,

Here, we known pOH is 6.0, so we get,

pH = 14 - 6 = 8.0;

Hence, the pH will be 8.0.
