<u>Answer</u>:

physical property is  related to the use of Activated charcoal  in gas  masks is  Physical adsorption

<u>Explanation</u>:

Respirators in the gas masks has a 2-stage inhalation protection process . In the first step, particle filter is used that behaves like a physical barrier that removes bacteria from air which is inhaled. When the bacteria is inhaled, it gets entangled in the filter fibres preventing it from being inhaled into the lungs.

In the next stage , activated charcoal is used .This layer with highly porous charcoal attracts and binds to toxins. Through adsorption process, a solid or a liquid can trap particles on its surface. Toxins that pass through the charcoal become bonded to its surface, preventing inhalation of the toxins.

Describe, in detail, how to make 5.5 liters of a 2.5 molar HCl solution from a 10.5 molar HCl stock solution.
Misha Larkins [42]
The stock solution contains 10.5 moles of HCl per litre. A 5.5 litre solution of 2.5M HCl contains 5.5x2.5 = 13.75moles of HCl. Since every litre of stock solution provides 10.5M HCl, the amount of stock solution needed is 13.75/10.5 = 1.309L. Therefore you would dilute 1.309L of stock solution to 5.5L

Read the following passage.
Archy [21]

Answer is: the discovery of sub atomic particles like electrons.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.  

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.  

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis (the atom was composed of immaterial vortices).  

J.J. Thomson placed two oppositely charged electric plates around the cathode ray. He did experiments using different metals as electrode materials and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material he used.

Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks (atoms are made up of smaller particles).

30. a. How do the properties of metals differ from those
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

Metals are elements that ionized by loss of electrons.

Ionic and molecular compounds are usually non-metals.

Properties of metals:

  • Metals have free mobile electrons and the metallic bonding ensures that.
  • They are usually electropositive and freely looses their electrons.
  • None of the metal is soluble without a chemical change occurring.
  • They are ductile and malleable.
  • Metals are good conductor or heat and electricity in their free uncombined state.
  • They are lustrous.

B. The specific property of metals accountable for their unusual electrical conductivity is due to the presence of free mobile electrons in their lattices.
