Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A transition element is defined as the element which has incompletely filled d-orbital.

For example, atomic number of chromium is 24 and its electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^{1}3d^{5}.

Also, sometimes the s-orbital is completely filled and sometimes it is half-filled.

Hence, we can conclude that a single factor that classifies an element as a transition metal is that the  highest occupied orbital is a "d" orbital.

A compound with chemical formula na2cx3 has formula mass 106 amu .. what is the atomic mass of element x
maria [59]

The element "X" is "O" (oxygen).

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Given,

Chemical formula = Na₂CX₃

Formula mass = 106 amu

Molar mass of Na = 23 amu

Molar mass of C = 12 amu

To find,

Element X =?

We will equate the equation as follows,

2(23) + 12 + 3(y) = 106

46 + 12 + 3y =106

58 + 3y = 106

3y = 106 - 58

3y = 48

y = 48/3

y = 16

We know that Oxygen has molecular mass of 16. Therefore the element "X" is "O".

A mixture containing 20 mole % butane, 35 mole % pentane and rest
notka56 [123]

Answer:

2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:

Butane:z_bF=y_bD+x_bB\\\\Pentane: z_pF=y_pD+x_pB\\\\Hexane: z_hF=y_hD+x_hB

Whereas y accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and x for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:

0.9=\frac{y_bD}{z_bF}

So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:

y_bD=0.9*z_bF=0.9*0.2*100mol=18mol

The total distillate flow:

y_bD=18mol\\\\D=\frac{18mol}{0.95} =18.95mol

And the total bottoms flow:

F=D+B\\\\B=F-D=100mol-18.95mol=81.05mol

Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:

x_b=\frac{z_bF-y_bD}{B} =\frac{0.2*100mol-18mol}{81.05} =0.025

Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:

x_p=\frac{z_pF-y_pD}{B} =\frac{0.35*100mol-0.04*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.422

x_h=\frac{z_hF-y_hD}{B} =\frac{(1-0.2-0.35)*100mol-(1-0.95-0.04)*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.553

Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.

NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.

Regards.

kobusy [5.1K]
Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.

After an electric sign is turned on, the temperature of its glass goes from 23.5°C to 65.5°C. The sign’s glass has a mass of 905
julia-pushkina [17]

The sign's glass absorbed 25466.7 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The temperature of glass :  23.5 °C to 65.5 °C

mass = 905 g

the specific heat capacity = 0.67 J/g °C

Required

Heat absorbed

Solution

Heat absorbed by sign's glass can be formulated :

\tt Q=m.c.\Delta T

ΔT=65.5 - 23.5 = 42

\tt Q=905\times 0.67\times 42\\\\Q=\boxed{\bold{25466.7~J}}
