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.

How many liters of water can be made from 55 grams of oxygen gas and an excess of hydrogen at a pressure of 12.4 atm and a tempe
polet [3.4K]
First, we need the no.of moles of O2 = mass/molar mass of O2
                                                             = 55 g / 32 g/mol
                                                             = 1.72 mol
from the balanced equation of the reaction:
2H2 (g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)
we can see that the molar ratio between O2: H2O = 1: 2 
So we can get the no.of moles of H2O = 2 * moles of O2
                                                                  = 2 * 1.72 mol
                                                                  = 3.44 mol
So by substitution by this value in ideal gas formula:
PV = nRT

when P = 12.4 atm  & n H2O = 3.44 mol & R= 0.0821 & T = 85 + 273=358K

12.4 atm *V = 3.44 * 0.0821 * 358 = 8.15 L
 ∴ V ≈ 8.2 L

A solution has a pH of 11.8. What is the pOH?
amid [387]

Answer:

pOH is 2.2

Explanation:

The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. As such, the pH and the pOH add up to 14. Subtract your pH from 14 to get your answer.

14 - 11.8 = 2.2

Observation or inference<br> The container is filled to the 350 ml mark with water
Luba_88 [7]
Observation is acknowledging and noting some facts from the surroundings or the environment. Usually, observation is done using the five senses of human such as the sense of sight, sense of smell, sense of touch, sense of hearing and sense of tasting. It can also be qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative observations are those who use non-numeric forms in expressing the observation however quantitative uses numeric forms in presenting the observation. Inference on the other hand is the probable explanation or interpretation based on the observation given. Therefore, the statement "The container is filled to the 350 ml mark with water " is an observation.

What does HNO3 produce when it is placed in a water solution ​
jeka57 [31]

Nitric acid does NOT react with water, water disassociates the molecules into those ions (above). ... Water,Being a polar solvent,…makes HNO3 ionise or dissociate or simply break down into Hydronium ions, i.e,H+ or H3O+ ions and nitrate NO3- ions..that's all.
