Air,

it's easier for sound to travel through solid objects

Sound actually travels slower in air.This is because sound is kinetic energy and has to pass from molecule to molecule.In gas the molecules are farther apart taking more time for it to pass,in water the molecules are closer so it takes less time for the sound to get from one molecule to another and with cast iron (since it's very dense) the molecules are very close allowing sound to travel quickly with ease.

Which of the following is a possible Noble gas notation? [Xe] 6s26p6 [Kr] 5s25d85p6 [Xe] 6s25d106p4 [Kr] 5s24d105p6
Mice21 [21]

Answer is: [Kr] 5s24d105p6.

1) [Xe] 6s²6p⁶ is not correct, because element with atomic number 62 (54 + 8) is samarium with electron configuration [Xe] 6s²4f⁶.

Xenon (Xe) is noble gas with atomic number 54, which means it has 54 protons and 54 electrons.

Electron configuration of xenon atom:  

₅₄Xe 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁶.

2) [Kr] 5s²5d⁸5p⁶ is not correct, because element with atomic number 52 (36 + 16) is tellurium.

Tellurium (Te) is an element with atomic number 52 (52 protons and 52 electrons), it is in group 16 (chalcogens) and period 5 (principal quantum number n = 5, which means it has 5 electrons shell) of Periodic table.

Electron configuration of tellurium atom:

₅₂Te 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ or [Kr] 4d¹⁰5s²5p⁶.

Krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36, which means it has 36 protons and 36 electrons.

Electron configuration of krypton atom:  

₃₆Kr 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶.

3) [Xe] 6s²5d¹⁰6p⁴ is not correct, because element with atomic number 70 (54 + 16) is ytterbium (Yb) with electron configuration [Xe] 6s²4f¹⁴.

4) [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶ is correct, because element with atomic number 54 (36 + 18) is krypton (Kr) with electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ or [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶.

Is plastic a mixture, compound, or an element?
Drupady [299]
Plastic could not be considered an element because elements are pure substances,Plastic is best described as a compound because its elements cannot be separated like the elements in a mixture can, without undergoing a chemical reaction.

A certain reaction has a 73.6% yield. if 53.8 grams of the product were predicted by stoichiometry to be made, what would the ac
krok68 [10]
Actual yield and theoretical yield are usually different.
the percentage yield of product = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
the theoretical yield is 53.8 g 
and percentage yield - 73.6 %
from the theoretical yield only 73.6 % of that amount is in the actual yield 
therefore actual yield is 73.6 % of 53.8 g
actual yield - 53.8 x 73.6% = 39.6 g
actual yield is 39.6 g

B) A 120.0 g sample of ice at -10.0°C has placed on a heat source. How much energy must be
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Q = 27060 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 120 g

Initial temperature = -10.0 °C

Final temperature = 100 °C

Heat added = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

ΔT = 100- (-10)

ΔT = 110°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 120 g × 2.05 g/J.°C × 110°C

Q = 27060 j
