How to classify an unknown element as a metal, metalloid, or non-metal

Chemistry
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]3 years ago
7 0
You can classify a metal: when a subject can surely conduct electricity.

examples: if a problem says the unknown object is malleable, or says "on the left side of the periodic table", is a conductor, is shiny, etc.


Metalloids: when a subject is alongside the staircase, uses word "semi-conductor", it depends on if it's malleable or ductile, and depends on whether it's shiny or not, etc.


Nonmetal: is located on the right side of the periodic table, can ONLY be an insulator, is not malleable, is not shiny, etc.

Which of the following gas samples would have the largest volume, if all samples are at the same temperature and pressure?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) 8×10²³ molecules of N2

Explanation:

Let us consider the same temperature and pressure of both sample are standard temperature and pressure.

Standard temperature = 273.15 K

Standard pressure = 1 atm

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.107  mol

Volume of CO₂ = ?

Solution:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K

1 atm × V = 0.107 mol × 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 K

1 atm × V = 2.4 atm.L

V = 2.4 atm.L/1 atm

V = 2.4 L

Volume of N₂:

Number of moles of N₂:

1 mole =  6.022 ×10²³ molecules

8×10²³ molecules × 1 mol /  6.022 ×10²³ molecules

1.33 mol

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K

1 atm × V = 1.33 mol × 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 K

1 atm × V = 29.83  atm.L

V = 29.83  atm.L/1 atm

V = 29.83 L

Calculate the percent water in iron ii sulfate heptahydrate
liq [111]
According to its formula FeSO4.7H2O 
we can get the percent % by the mass of H2O from this formula
%mass of H2O = (mass of water H2O/ mass of the hydrate)x100
when the mass of water = molar mass x 7 = 18 x 7 = 126 
and the mass of hydrate (feSO4) = molar mass = 278
So by substitution:
%mass of H2O = (126/278) x 100 = 45%

What is true of an aqueous solution that is 15.0 percent HNO3 by mass?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B. It contains 15.0 grams of HNO₃ per 100 grams of solution.

Explanation:

  • The percent of a solute in a solution is the mass of the solute (g) per 100 g of solution.

<em>So, an aqueous solution that is 15.0 percent HNO₃ by mass means that It contains 15.0 grams of HNO₃ per 100 grams of solution.</em>
