Answer;

-Copper (Cu)

Explanation;

-While all metals can conduct electricity, certain metals are more commonly used due to being highly conductive. The most common example is Copper. It is highly conductive which is why it is has been used in electrical wiring.

-Copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.

B) Cu Copper is the best metal to use in an alloy because it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals due to the arrangement of its electrons. They are easily excited and can easily carry an electoral charge.

Answer: 1. C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B) $NH_3$

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: $NH_3$

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: $Mg_3N_2$ , $AlCl_3$ and $LiBr$

3. For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas $F_2$

How many grams of aluminum are required to react with 35 mL of 2.0 M hydrochloric acid, HCl?__ HCl + __ Al --> __ AlCl3 + __

kiruha [24]

Answer:

0.6258 g

Explanation:

To determine the number grams of aluminum in the above reaction;

determine the number of moles of HCl
determine the mole ratio,
use the mole ratio to calculate the number of moles of aluminum.
use RFM of Aluminum to determine the grams required.

Moles of HCl

35 mL of 2.0 M HCl

2 moles of HCl is contained in 1000 mL

x moles of HCl is contained in 35 mL

$x \: mol \: = \: \frac{2 \: \times \: 35}{1000} \\ = 0.07 \: moles \:$

We have 0.07 moles of HCl.

Mole ratio

Balanced equation

6HCl(aq) + 2Al(s) --> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

Hence mole ratio = 6 : 2 (HCl : Al

but moles of HCl is 0.07, therefore the moles of Al;

$= \frac{2}{6} \times 0.07 \\ \: = 0.0233333 \: moles$

Therefore we have 0.0233333 moles of aluminum.

Grams of Aluminum

We use the formula;

$grams \: = moles \: \times \: rfm$

The RFM (Relative formula mass) of aluminum is 26.982g/mol.

Substitute values into the formula;

$= 0.0233333 \: moles \: \times \: 26.982 \: \frac{g}{mol} \\ = 0.625799 \: grams$

The number of grams of aluminum required to react with HCl is 0.6258 g.

Write the formula for the conjugate base for the following acids. Thank you

Llana [10]

Answer:

See the answer and explanation below , please.

Explanation:

A conjugate base is defined as that formed after an acid donates its proton.

For each article, a continuation of the conjugate bases (highlighted in bold), for dissociation in water:

a) HF + H20 --> F- + H30+

b) H20+ H20 --> OH- + H30+

C)H2PO3- + H20--> HPO3 2- + H30+

d) HSO4- + H20 --> SO4 2- + H30+

E) HCL02 + H20 --> CLO02 - + H30+

Which statement is most consistent with the plum pudding model of the atom?

lianna [129]

The answer to this question would be: 1) Electrons occupy regions of space

In plum pudding model, the atoms are drawn as pudding and the negative particle is spread around the pudding. In this model, the electron is spread but not moving in orbit. Rutherford model that comes afterward is the one that says most of the atoms is empty space.
