Answer:

S and p blocks elements are considered metals while d-block elements are considered transition metals.

Explanation:

s-block consist of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium metals.

All are these called alkali metals.

These metals have one valance electron.

These metals are soft and having low density.

They easily lose their one valance electron and form cation with +1 charge.

They have low melting points.

P- block elements includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium metals.

They are called alkaline earth metals.

All are these have two valance electrons.

They easily lose their valance electrons and form cation with charge of +2.

These metals are also very soft.

They form salt with halogens.

They are also very reactive metals.

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a

kykrilka [37]

Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.

If the initial temperature of a movable cylinder was 50 degrees Celsius

slega [8]

Answer:

8.45 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C

Initial pressure (P₁) = 2 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 5 L

Final temperature (T₂) = 0 °C

Final pressure (P₂) = 1 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

Next, we shall convert celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C

Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 323 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 0 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 0 °C + 273

Final temperature (T₂) = 273 K

Finally, we shall determine the new volume. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 323 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 2 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 5 L

Final temperature (T₂) = 273 k

Final pressure (P₂) = 1 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

2 × 5 / 323 = 1 × V₂ / 273

10 / 323 = V₂ / 273

Cross multiply

323 × V₂ = 10 × 273

323 × V₂ = 2730

Divide both side by 323

V₂ = 2730 / 323

V₂ = 8.45 L

Thus, the new volume is 8.45 L
