Water   has  positive  side  and  negative  side. This  is  the  reason  why water  can  dissolve salt  such sodium  chloride.  Example  when  sodium  chloride  dissociate  in  water it  give  Na+  ions  and  Cl- ions. the  negative  side  of  water   attack the  Na+  ions  while  the positive   side  of  water  attract Cl-  ions

15. In the image given below, magnesium metal is coiled as a thin ribbon. What property of metal is exhibited by it? A Ductility
Sholpan [36]

Answer: The property of magnesium that is exhibited by it is DUCTILITY. The correct option is A.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a member of the alkaline earth metals. It occurs in nature, only in the combined state, as Epsom salt, dolomite and in many trioxosilicates( IV) including talc and asbestos. They have the following physical properties:

--> Appearance: they are silvery-white solids

--> Relative density: It has a relative density of 1.74

--> DUCTILITY: it's very ductile in nature

--> melting point: it has a melting point of 660°C.

--> Conductivity: They are good conductor of heat and electricity.

Furthermore, DUCTILITY is the physical property of a metal associated with the ability to be hammered thin or stretched into wire without breaking. A metal such as magnesium can therefore be coiled as a thin ribbon without fracturing due to its ductile physical properties.

How many atoms of the element with atomic number 11 are in the reactants of the given formula?
liq [111]

The number of Na atoms in the reactants = 2

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Every chemical reaction involves compounds that can act as reactants or products

The reactants will react to produce products

The reactants are usually written on the left side of the reaction, while the products on the right side of the reaction

Reaction

2 NaCl + H₂SO₄ → 2 HCl + Na₂SO₄

The element with atomic number 11  = Na(Natrium)

The number of atoms of the element that reacts or is produced can be seen from the reaction coefficient and the number of atoms in the compound

Na in NaCl = 1 atom

From equation, cofficient for NaCl = 2, so number of atoms of Na=2 x 1 = 2

A gas has a pressure of 3.16 atm at STP. I have decided to transfer it to a container that is 3 times larger than the original v
Oliga [24]

Answer:

<u>The new pressure is 1.0533 atm</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

According  to<u> Boyle's Law :</u> The Pressure of fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to Volume at constant temperature.

PV = Constant

P1V1 = P2V2

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}.....(1)

P1 = 3.16 atm

Accprding to question ,

V1 = V

V2 = 3 V

Insert the value of V1 , V2 and P1 in the equation(1)

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

3.16\times V=P_{2}\times 3V

V and V cancel each other

3.16=P_{2}\times 3

P_{2}=\frac{3.16}{3}

P_{2}=1.05atm

You have a 28.2-g sample of a metal heated to 95.2°c. you drop it in a calorimeter with 100. g of water at 25.1°c. the final tem
Vlad [161]

The heat lost by the metal should be equal to the heat gained by the water. We know that the heat capacity of water is simply 4.186 J / g °C. Therefore:

100 g * 4.186 J / g °C * (31°C – 25.1°C) = 28.2 g * Cp * (95.2°C - 31°C)

<span>Cp = 1.36 J / g °C</span>
