Why do minerals with metallic bonds conduct electricity so well?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

Because metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons. It is described as a "<em>sea of electrons</em>", because the electrons are not confined around the nucleus of metal atoms, but they are delocalized: thay can be located in one nucleus and then in another neighbor atom. Thus, the electrons have more freedom to move from one part of the metal to another and electricity is well conducted.

Answer:

B 1.23 g/cc

Explanation:
For something to float on seawater, the density must be less than 1.03 g/mL. If the object sinks, the density is greater than 1.03 g/mL.

Let’s examine the answer choices. Keep in mind, the ice berg is mostly below the water level.

A. 0.88 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would result in floating.

B. 1.23 g/cc
This is the best answer choice. The iceberg is mostly beneath the water, but some of it is exposed. The density is greater than 1.03 g/mL, but not so much greater that it would immediately sink.

C. 0.23 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would produce floating.

D. 4.14 g/cc
This is much greater than 1.03 g/cc and the result would be sinking.

the volume of a gas is 550 ml at 960 mm hg and 200.0°C. What volume would the pressure of the gas be 830 mm Hg if the temperatur
gavmur [86]

Answer:

V₂ = 568.9 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 550 mL

Pressure of a gas = 960 mmHg

Temperature = 200.0°C ( 200+273 = 473 K)

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 830 mmHg

Final temperature = 150°C (150+273 = 423 K)

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 960 mmHg × 550 mL × 423 K / 473 K ×830 mmHg

V₂ = 223344000 mL / 392590

V₂ = 568.9 mL

Calculate the volume of concentrated HCl (12 M) needed to convert the sodium benzoate back to benzoic acid.
iVinArrow [24]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Calculate the volume of concentrated HCL (12 M) needed to convert 1.5 g of sodium benzoate back to benzoic acid.

Answer:

8.33 * 10^-4 L

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

C6H5COONa + HCl -------->>>> C6H5COOH + NaCl

Number of moles of  sodium benzoate = mass/molar mass

molar mass of sodium benzoate =144.11 g/mol

mass of sodium benzoate = 1.5 g

Number of moles of  sodium benzoate = 1.5g/144.11 g/mol

Number of moles of  sodium benzoate = 0.01 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1,  0.01 moles of HCl reacted.

but;

n = CV

n = number of moles

C = concentration

V = volume

V = n/C

V =  0.01 moles/12 M

V = 8.33 * 10^-4 L
