Valence electrons is an electron that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond.Also, valence electrons have the ability to absord or release energy in the form of a photon. Valence electrons are in the energy level that is farthest aways from the nucleus. The valence electrons are the ones, that in a chemical reaction, are gained, lost or shared.

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

Without using Appendix B, predict the sign of ΔS° for(b) KBr(s)→ KBr(aq)
Volgvan

Since the sign is positive, the entropy increased by 88.48 J/K.

Examine the phases of the species present to determine whether a physical or chemical process will cause an increase or decrease in entropy. Keep in mind "Silly Little Goats" to aid you in telling.

[1 Sf K+1 + 1 Sf Br-1 (aq)] ([1Sf(KBr (s))])

[1(102.5) + 1(82.42)] - [1(96.44)] = 88.48 J/K

If the entropy has grown, we say that Delta S is positive, and if it has dropped, we say that Delta S is negative. Due to its ionic nature, KBr is soluble in water and causes the 'K(+)' ions to hydrate.

What volume of water has the same mass as 9.0m3 of ethyl alcohol?
Triss [41]
This question requires the knowledge of density. 

The density of ethyl alcohol = 789 kg m⁻³
The density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³

Density = Mass / Volume 

By applying ethyl alcohol,
    789 kg m⁻³ = Mass / 0.9 m³
         Mass     = 710.1 kg
hence the mass of 0.9 m³ ethyl alcohol is 710.1 kg.

Then by applying water,
     1000 kg m⁻³ = 710.1 kg / Volume
      Volume        = 0.7101 m³
                          = 0.7 m³
hence the equal water volume is 0.7 m³

What would happen to the ecosystem if there were no nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Gre4nikov [31]
Essentially all the available nitrogen for life in the form of nitrates and ammonia would eventually disappear. Nitrogen is needed to make proteins and other chemicals so it is required for all life to exist. It gets recycled so it would take many decades in most places before the available nitrogen ran out. Many crops like beans depend on it. Humans can manufacture it but it would be hard on the ecosystems of the world and eventually probably lead to the extinction of all the ecosystems of the world.


Hope this helps!

When temperture changes matter undergo this. that is shift one form to another
dsp73

Answer:All matter can move from one state to another. It may require extreme temperatures or extreme pressures, but it can be done. Sometimes a substance doesn't want to change states. You have to use all of your tricks when that happens. To create a solid, you might have to decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen (O2) will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit (-218.8 degrees Celsius) at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Some of you know about liquid nitrogen (N2). It is nitrogen from the atmosphere in a liquid form and it has to be super cold to stay a liquid. What if you wanted to turn it into a solid but couldn't make it cold enough to solidify? You could increase the pressure in a sealed chamber. Eventually you would reach a point where the liquid became a solid. If you have liquid water (H2O) at room temperature and you wanted water vapor (gas), you could use a combination of high temperatures or low pressures to solve your problem.

Points of Change

Phase Changes: Pressure and temperature define the state of matter for water.Phase changes happen when you reach certain special points. Sometimes a liquid wants to become a solid. Scientists use something called a freezing point or melting point to measure the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid. There are physical effects that can change the melting point. Pressure is one of those effects. When the pressure surrounding a substance increases, the freezing point and other special points also go up. It is easier to keep things solid when they are under greater pressure.

Generally, solids are more dense than liquids because their molecules are closer together. The freezing process compacts the molecules into a smaller space.

There are always exceptions in science. Water is special on many levels. It has more space between its molecules when it is frozen. The molecules organize in a specific arrangement that takes up more space than when they are all loosey-goosey in the liquid state. Because the same number of molecules take up more space, solid water is less dense than liquid water. There are many other types of molecular organizations in solid water than we can talk about here.
