Which statement is NOT TRUE about elements in group 16?
Airida [17]
The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2.  There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C

The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

  • <em>The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the </em><u>relative number of moles of each reactant and product that interven in the chemical reaction.</u>

Explanation:

The <em>coefficients</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each chemical formula that represents the reactants and products in the <em>chemical equation</em>. They indicate the mole ratio in which the elements or compounds react to form the products, as per the chemical equation.

See an example:

  • Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen produce water

  • Chemical (skeleton) equation: H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (g)

      This equation is not balanced: the  number of atoms of oxygenin the reactant side is 2 while the number of atoms of oxygen isn the product side is 1. In order to balance the equation you need to add some coefficients.

When no coefficients are shown it is understood that the coefficient is 1.

  • Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)

The coefficients 2 in front of H₂ and 1 (understood) in front of O₂, in the reactant side, and 2 in front of H₂O, in the product side, balance the equation.

Those coefficients mean that the 2 molecules (or mole of molecules) of H₂ react with 1 molecule (or mole of molecules) of O₂ to form 2 molecules (or moles) of H₂O (product side).

That is the mole ratio: 2 H₂ : 1 O₂ : 2 H₂O.

Notice that, in spite of the aboslute numbers may change, the mole ratio is unique for any chemical reaction.  For example 4 : 2 : 4 is the same ratio that 2 : 1 : 2, or 8 : 4 : 8, but the most common practice is to use the most simple form of the ratio, i.e. 2: 1: 2.

if a dinosaur once lived in mexico, and i now live in arkansas, can i be drinking the same water the dinosaur did?
MrRissso [65]
Yes, especially if its from a lake, pond, or ocean since water moves around. Dinasours could have spit out or maybe dripped some water, so basically yes.

What is the boiling point elevation constant, Kb, of diethyl ether if 38.2 g of the nonelectrolyte benzophenone, C6H5COC6H5, dis
kakasveta [241]

Answer: the boiling point elevation constant is 1.73^0C/m

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times m

\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0= = Elevation in boling point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte)

K_b =boiling point constant = ?

m= molality

\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}

Weight of solvent (diethylether)= 330 g = 0.33 kg

Molar mass of solute (benzophenone)= 182 g/mol

Mass of solute (benzophenone) = 38.2 g

(35.7-34.6)^0C=1\times K_b\times \frac{38.2g}{182g/mol\times 0.33kg}

K_b=1.73^0C/m

Thus the boiling point elevation constant is 1.73^0C/m
