Take the attached picture of a periodic table as a guide. You are finding for a solid metal. Therefore, streamline your choices by looking at elements written in black bold letters, because they are all solid. Next, if you look at the center, the legend for metals are colors in orange, yellow, flesh, lavender, pink, and cyan blue. These region would be your choices. Next, you want to find a metal that is shiny and ductile. The shiny appearance is a common characteristic of luster by materials. Ductility is the ability of a metal to stretch when under tensile stress. These properties are best exhibited by metals in the transitions metals colored in pink. Therefore, the answer to your question would be any of the metal in the pink area. Examples are Titanium, Chromium, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Tungsten, etc.

an oxygen tank used for scuba diving has. avolume of 12.0 L .If the pressure of the tank is known to be 204.047 atm and the temp

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: 101 moles of oxygen are contained in the tank

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 204.047 atm

V = Volume of gas = 12.0 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $22.0^0C=(22.0+273)K=295K$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{204.047atm\times 12.0L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 295K}=101moles$

Thus 101 moles of oxygen are contained in the tank

After our solar system began to form, dust and gas combined into small bodies that formed the planets. What are these small bodi

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Planetesimal

Explanation:

According to Nebular Theory, the Solar system was formed from the Solar Nebula about 4.6 billion years ago. Nebula is a molecular cloud composed of dust and gases. Majority of the mass accreted to form a core which gradually formed the Sun. The remaining mass of the disk surrounding the core accreted into small bodies known as Planetesimal which formed the planets.

When an alkane reacts with an element from group 7a, the reaction is referred to as?

Elena-2011 [213]

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon, that is they contain hydrogen and carbon without a double or triple bond between the carbon atoms, e.g. ethane, propane. Group 7a in the periodic table are called halogens e.g chlorine, bromine. Alkanes react with halogens in a reaction called substitution, where halogens replace hydrogen atoms in alkanes.

In the background information, it was stated that CaF2 has solubility, at room temperature, of 0.00160 g per 100 g of water. How

____ [38]

Answer:

2.05*10⁻⁵ moles of CF₂ can dissolve in 100 g of water.

12.82 moles of CaF₂ will dissolve in exactly 1.00 L of solution

Explanation:

First, by definition of solubility, in 100 g of water there are 0.0016 g of CaF₂. So, to know how many moles are 0.0016 g, you must know the molar mass of the compound. For that you know:

Ca: 40 g/mole
F: 19 g/mole

So the molar mass of CaF₂ is:

CaF₂= 40 g/mole + 2*19 g/mole= 78 g/mole

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 78 grams of CaF₂ in 1 mole, in 0.0016 grams of the compound how many moles are there?

$moles=\frac{0.0016 grams*1 mole}{78 grams}$

moles=2.05*10⁻⁵

2.05*10⁻⁵ moles of CF₂ can dissolve in 100 g of water.

Now, to answer the following question, you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of density in 1 mL there is 1 g of CaF₂, in 1000 mL (where 1L = 1000mL) how much mass of the compound is there?

$mass of CaF_{2}=\frac{1000 mL*1g}{1mL}$

mass of CaF₂= 1000 g

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 78 grams of CaF₂ in 1 mole, in 1000 grams of the compound how many moles are there?

$moles=\frac{1000 grams*1 mole}{78 grams}$

moles=12.82

12.82 moles of CaF₂ will dissolve in exactly 1.00 L of solution
