Answer:

Each atom can share two electrons with the other so that each atom has eight valence electrons.

Explanation:

A bond between two nonmetals is a covalent bond. In covalent boding, electrons are not transferred(lost/gained) from one atom to the other. Instead, they are shared.

A chunk of tin weighing 18.5 grams and originally at 97.38 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 75.7 grams of water at

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Heat lost by tin will be equal to heat gained by the water

$-Q_1=Q_2$

Mass of tin = $m_1=18.5 g$

Specific heat capacity of tin = $c_1=0.21 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the tin = $T_1=97.38^oC$

Final temperature = $T_2$ =T

$Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)$

Mass of water= $m_2=75.7 g$

Specific heat capacity of water= $c_2=4.184 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the water = $T_3=21.52^oC$

Final temperature of water = $T_2$ =T

$Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

$-Q_1=Q_2$

$-(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

On substituting all values:

$-(18.5 g\times 0.21 J/g^oC\times (T-97.38^oC))=75.7 g\times 4.184 J/g^oC\times (T-21.52 ^oC)$

we get, T = 22.44°C

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

What principle requires that a chemical equation be balanced?

Dafna1 [17]

The principle that requires that a chemical equation be balanced would be the law of definite proportions. It <span>states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation. Hope this answers the question.</span>

How Do Glow Sticks Glow?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.

To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted.

Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
