Which factor distinguishes a metallic bond from an ionic?

The main factor is malleability. Because ionic bonds are so much stronger, they are brittle and will break easily. Metallic bonds are weaker, with a "sea" of electrons allowing atoms to move about freely, hence they are very malleable.

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 5.40×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.100 M, what will the
IceJOKER [234]

Answer : The concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Explanation :

The expression for first order reaction is:

[C_t]=[C_o]e^{-kt}

where,

[C_t] = concentration at time 't'  (final) = ?

[C_o] = concentration at time '0' (initial) = 0.100 M

k = rate constant = 5.40\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

t = time = 17.0 min = 1020 s (1 min = 60 s)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[C_t]=(0.100)\times e^{-(5.40\times 10^{-3})\times (1020)}

[C_t]=4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Thus, the concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Olin [163]
According to Gayle Lusac's law, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature of a gas. Thus:
P/T = constant

So if the temperature becomes 3T, the pressure would increase to 3P

Why isn't geothermal energy used more often?
lianna [129]

Geothermal energy is not used more often because it's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface (Option A).

<h3>What is Geothermal energy?</h3>

Geothermal energy is a special type of sustainable renewable source of clean energy that emerges from thermal (temperature) differences on the Earth, e.g., within geysers and similar geological formations.

In conclusion, geothermal energy is not used more often because it's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface (Option A).
