Answer:

Metals:

Copper: to make cooking utensils such as pots because it has a high heat conductivity.

Aluminium: to make aluminium foil / soda cans because it is malleable

Mercury: fills up thermometers because it can indicate the temperature when it expands. But it is toxic so fewer people are using mercury thermometers now.

Titanium: to make the body of supersonic aircrafts because it is strong and corrosion resistant

Gold: to make jewelry because it is shiny and also corrosion resistant

Non-metals:

Nitrogen: to fill up chip packages because its molecules are unreactive

Helium: to fill up balloons because it is lightweight

Hydrogen: for generating electricity in hydrogen fuel cells. It is environmentally-friendly because it does not produce any greenhouse gas or toxic pollutants.

Fluorine: added in toothpaste for strengthening the teeth. It can also prevent cavities.

Carbon: the graphite in pencils. this is one form of carbon. Other common forms (allotropes) of carbon include diamond and Buckminsterfullerene (buckyball).

7) Sodium is much more apt to exist as a cation than chlorine because: a) chlorine is a gas and sodium is a solid b) chlorine ha

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Option (d) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. Sodium has just 1 electron in it's outmost shell and chlorine has 7.

Sodium needs 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration and chlorine needs just 1.

Sodium can not attract 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration instead it will easily lose the 1 electron in it's outmost shell to form cation. On the other hand, it will be difficult for chlorine to lose any of it's outmost electrons. This makes chlorine to have higher ionization energy than sodium.

Andrews [41]

Thrust acts on the spacecraft and propels in the space.

<h3>How space shuttles move?</h3>

1. The force created by the shuttle's engines in expelling the burning fuel produces an equal thrust in the opposite direction. This thrust acts on the spacecraft and propels in the space.

2. The thermosphere and the stratosphere are our hottest atmosphere layers because these two layers are present near the sun as compared to other layers of atmosphere.

3. When the meteors hit the atmosphere, meteors rub against air particles and create friction which is heating the meteors. The heat vaporizes most meteors, creating what we call shooting stars.

Consider a pot of water at 100 C. If it took 1,048,815 J of energy to vaporize the water and heat it to 135 C, how many grams of

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

There was 450.068g of water in the pot.

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporisation = 2260 kJ/kg = 2260 J/g = L

Specific Heat of Steam = 2.010 kJ/kg C = 2.010 J/g = s

Let m = x g be the weight of water in the pot.

Energy required to vaporise water = mL = 2260x

Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 100 C to 135 C = msΔT = 70.35x

Total energy required = $2260x+x\times2.010\times(135-100)=2260x+70.35x=2330.35x$

$2330.35x=1048815\\x=450.068g$

Hence, there was 450.068g of water in the pot.
