Answer:

Non metals are brittle solids.

Explanation:

The option A is correct,

Non metals are brittle solids.

It is the property of non metals. They can not be stretched into thin wire if stress is applied non metals brake down.

All other options are incorrect because,

B = Non metals are often malleable

It is the property of metals. Metals can be malleable into think sheets.

C = Non metals often conduct electricity.

It is the property of metals. Metals conduct electricity because of availability of free electrons.

D =  Non metals are often ductile.

It is the property of metals. They can stretched into thin wire.

A 2.00-mol sample of hydrogen gas is heated at constant pressure from 294 K to 414 K. (a) Calculate the energy transferred to th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) The energy transferred is 6.91 kJ

b) The internal energy is 4.90 kJ

c) The work done on the gas is - 2.01 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 2.00 moles

Pressure = constant

Temperature is heated from 294 K to 414 K

Molar heat capacity of hydrogen gas = 28.8 J/mol*K

Step 2: Calculate the energy transferred to the gas by heat.

Q = n* Cp * ΔT

⇒with Q =the energy transferred

⇒with n = the number of moles = 2.00 moles

⇒with Cp = the Molar heat capacity of hydrogen gas = 28.8 J/mol*K

⇒ with ΔT = Temperature 2 - Temperature 1 = 414 - 294 = 120K

Q = 2.00 * 28.8 * 120

Q = 6912 J = 6.91 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the increase in its internal energy.

ΔEint = n*Cv*ΔT

⇒with ΔEint = the increase in its internal energy.

⇒with n = the number of moles = 2.00 moles

⇒with Cv = The constant volume = 20.4 J/mol*K

⇒with  ΔT = Temperature 2 - Temperature 1 = 414 - 294 = 120K

ΔEint = 2.00 * 20.4 * 120

ΔEint =4896 J = 4.90 kJ

Step 4: Calculate the work done on the gas.

Work done on the gas = -Q + ΔEint

W = -6.91 kJ + 4.90 kJ

W = -2.01 kJ

How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?
Sav [38]

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.

Which salt is produced when NH4OH Reacts with HNO3
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.

HNO_{3} is an acid and NH_{4}OH is a base thus, when we dissolve ammonium hydroxide in nitric acid then it results in the formation of ammonium nitrate and water.

The reaction is as follows.

 NH_{4}OH + HNO_{3} \rightarrow NH_{4}NO_{3} + H_{2}O

Hence, there will be formation of ammonium nitrate (NH_{4}NO_{3}) salt.
