Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
Answer:
The correct answer is 532 K
Explanation:
The Gay-Lussac law describes the behavior of a gas at constant volume, by changing the pressure or temperature. When is heated, the change in pressure of the gas is directly proportional to it absolute temperature (in Kelvin or K).
We have the following initial conditions:
P1= 71.8 kPa
T1= -104ºC +273 = 169 K
If the pressure increases until reaching 225.9 kPa (P2), we can calculate the final temperature of the gas (T2) by using the Gay-Lussac derived expression:
P1 x T2 = P2 x T1
⇒T2= (P2 x T1)/P1 = (225.9 kPa x 169 K)/71.8 kPa= 531.7 K ≅ 532 K
Answer:
pH = 0.35
Explanation:
For a strong acid, all of the acid dissociates into H3O+, and pH = -log[H3O+], where [H3O+] = [HClO3] = 0.45 M.
Plants fertilized one per week with Super Plant Food Formula have been shown in testing to produce twice as much fruit as plants that are not.
That answer is the most scientific because it states the word "testing" and in science they do a bunch of test to make a scientific claim.
