A student explained to the class that helium has 8 valence electrons because it is in group 18. Is the student correct?

5 0
<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>

A student performs an experiment to find the percentage of water in a hydrate. He determines that the hydrate contains 22% water
Stels [109]

Answer:

A feasible error could have been the removal of the sample before all water evaporated.

Explanation:

In order to determine the percentage of water in an hydrate, an experiment that could be performed is the heating of the sample until the mass does not change. If the student heated the sample an insufficient amount of time, water will be present in the sample, thus reducing the percentage reported.

Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called​
Feliz [49]

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Every member of the electromagnetic radiation has commensurate amount of energy, wavelength and frequencies.

The electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies are the gamma rays.

  • Gamma rays also are the most energetic electromagnetic radiation.
  • The short wavelength of gamma rays suggests that more waves passes with times.
  • It's high frequency shows that a high amount of wave passes through a point at each passing of time.
  • These factors combines to give its high energy. Energy of an electromagnetic radiation is a factor of its wavelength and frequency.
  • Gamma rays are ionizing radiations which causes ionization of gas molecules.

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of  HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C)  pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)=  9.3979

If we consider the  Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Industrialization has historically led to urbanization by creating economic growth and job opportunities that draw people to cities. Urbanization typically begins when a factory or multiple factories are established within a region, thus creating a high demand for factory labor.
