The list of the answer choices is missing.

I did some research in internet and found this is the complete question, including the answer choices:

Which is true about dissolving a polar substance in water?

A. The solvent particles are all nonpolar molecules.
B. The solute particles are carried into the solution.
C. The solute particles have no attraction for the solvent molecules.
D. The solute particles are very different from the solvent molecules.

The right answer is the option B. The solute particles are carried into the solution.

Let's review each choice.

A. The solvent particles are all nonpolar molecules.

False

The solvent is water, and water is a polar solvent. This is, due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms of H and O, the bonds form dipoles (the O atoms have a partial negative charge and the H atoms have a partial positive charge). And, since the molecule is not symmetrical those dipoles yield a polar molecule.

B. The solute particles are carried into the solution.

That is true: being the solute a polar substance the negative endings of the solute will be attracted by the partially positive H of water, and the positive endings of the solute will be attracted by the partially negative O of water, meaning that the molecules of water will surround the particles of solute.

C. The solute particles have no attraction for the solvent molecules.

As per the explanations given above this is false.

D. The solute particles are very different from the solvent molecules.

False, because the solute particles are similar to the solvente molecules in that both of them are polar.

How many total electrons can be contained in the 4d sublevel? 2 6 10 14

qaws [65]

The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.
So, having this in mind, 10 electrons in total can be contained in the 4d sublevel.

What element is represented by the following electron configuration:

Alecsey [184]

For better representation, let me rewrite the electronic configuration:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁴

The exponents represent the number of electrons in the designated subshell. Thus, the total number of electrons are:
# of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+2+4 = 24

Assuming this is in neutral state, the element with an atomic number of 24 is Chromium. Thus, the answer is Cr.

If the reduction reaction has a reduction potential of 0.1 V, and the oxidation reaction has a reduction potential of -0.4V, and

aleksley [76]

Answer : The value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

or,

$E^o=E^o_{reduction}-E^o_{oxidation}$

$E^o=(0.1V)-(-0.4V)=+0.5V$

Now we have to calculate the standard cell potential.

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons = 2

F = Faraday constant

$E^o$ = standard e.m.f of cell = +0.5 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

$\Delta G^o=-(2\times F\times 0.5)$

$\Delta G^o=-1F$

Therefore, the value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F

Answer:

(1) atomic numbers

Explanation:

The observed regularities in the properties of the elements on the periodic table are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
The periodic law states that "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".
Elements on the periodic table are arranged based on the atomic numbers they contain.
The number of positively charged particles in an atom is the atomic number.

Six line to obtain energy

Degger [83]

Answer:

energy, in physics, the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms. There are, moreover, heat and work—i.e., energy in the process of transfer from one body to another. ... For example, any given body has kinetic energy if it is in motion.
