If you drop a piece of quartz, it will break apart I an irregular manner. which property does quartz show in this situation

Which formula is an empirical formula? (1) CH4 (2) C2 H6 (3) C3 H6 (4) C4 H10

rosijanka [135]

CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?

serious [3.7K]

Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

To a 25.00 mL volumetric flask, a lab technician adds a 0.150 g sample of a weak monoprotic acid, HA , and dilutes to the mark w

Elis [28]

Answer: The number of moles of weak acid is $4.24\times 10^{-3}$ moles.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles of KOH, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Volume of solution = 43.81 mL = 0.04381 L (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)

Molarity of the solution = 0.0969 moles/ L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0969mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}}{0.04381}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$

The chemical reaction of weak monoprotic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$HA+KOH\rightarrow KA+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of KOH reacts with 1 mole of weak monoprotic acid.

So, $4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$ of KOH will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.24\times 10^{-3}=4.24\times 10^{-3}mol$ of weak monoprotic acid.

Hence, the number of moles of weak acid is $4.24\times 10^{-3}$ moles.

You’ve been waiting for the bus and your hands become cold. When you get onto the bus and sit down, you put your hands under you

snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.

When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.
