"The transition metals are called such because an English chemist , Charles Bury described them as the bunch of elements that fill inner shells and bridge the transition between stable states".

<span> They are called that because while the outermost level contains at most two electrons, they are next to outermost main levels have incompletely filled d sub-orbitals, which are filled-up progressively on going across the periodic table from 8 to 18 electrons. The filling of the d sub-orbitals of the transition elements across a row of the periodic table is not always regular.</span>

If the molar heat of combustion of liquid benzene at constant volume and 300k is -3272KJ. Calculate the heat of combustion at co
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The heat at constant pressure is -3,275.7413 kJ

Explanation:

The combustion equation is 2C₆H₆ (l) + 15O₂ (g)  → 12CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

\Delta n_g = (12 - 15)/2 = -3/2

We have;

\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where R and T are constant, and ΔU is given we can write the relationship as follows;

H = U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where;

H = The heat at constant pressure

U = The heat at constant volume = -3,272 kJ

\Delta n_g = The change in the number of gas molecules per mole

R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

T = The temperature = 300 K

Therefore, we get;

H = -3,272 kJ + (-3/2) mol ×8.314 J/(mol·K) ×300 K) × 1 kJ/(1000 J) = -3,275.7413 kJ

The heat at constant pressure, H = -3,275.7413 kJ.

Mg2OH has how many unique elements?<br> A. <br> 4<br> B. <br> 2<br> C. <br> 3<br> D. <br> 5
frutty [35]

Answer:

Magnesium hydroxide has 3 unique elements.

Explanation:

Long story short, 2 is the balancing compound in structure to make up hydroxide, therefore 1 compound would be left to create Mg(2O)H.

(This is only an opinion of mathematical science to me, I don't have complete understanding of this subject either, good luck.)

Atoms are indivisible spheres-Dalton model

John Dalton was the first to propose a theory to describe matter. As per Dalton's model, all matter is composed of atoms which resemble tiny 'ball-like' structures that are indivisible.
