Answer:
The characteristic of silicon that is most closely related to its chemical reactivity is that;
It is found in nature in mainly as oxides and silicates
Explanation:
Silicon, which is a member of group 14 of the periodic table has the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p² and has a high affinity for oxygen such that the the oxides are known as silicates and it is almost impossible to find pure silicon in nature and it is found in the universe as silica and silicates
Silicate minerals make up over 90% of the Earth's crust such that, by mass silicon is only surpassed by oxygen as the most abundant element found in the Earth's crust.
Answer:
Boiling T° of solution = 100.6
Explanation:
Formula for elevation of boiling point is:
ΔT = Kb . m . i
where ΔT means Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent
Our solute is a non ionizing compound.
i = 1, because it is a non ionizing compound. i, indicates the ions dissolved in solution.
m = molality (moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of solvent)
90 g of solvent = 0.09 kg of solvent
We convert mass of solute to moles (by the molar mass):
10 g . 1 mol /92.09 g = 0.108 moles
m = 0.108 mol /0.09 kg = 1.21 m
Let's replace data: Boiling T° of solution - 100°C = 0.51 °C/m . 1.21 m . 1
Boiling T° of solution = 0.51 °C/m . 1.21 m . 1 + 100°C
Boiling T° of solution = 100.6
Answer:
Condensation is the process of water vapor condensing into liquid water.
Explanation:
"Water condenses on a can of cold soda. Water vapor in the air reaches its dew point as it cools in the air around the can, forming liquid drops of water. Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor." -National Geographic"
Answer:
The starting position of this object is 3 m
The object is traveling at a velocity of 3 m/s
Explanation:
Slime flows like a liquid, but unlike familiar liquids (e.g., oil, water), its ability to flow, or viscosity, is not constant. So it's a fluid, but not a regular liquid. Scientists call a material that changes viscosity a non-Newtonian fluid. The technical explanation is that slime is a fluid that changes its ability to resist deformation according to shear or tensile stress.
What this means is, when you pour slime or let it ooze through your fingers, it has a low viscosity and flows like a thick liquid. When you squeeze a non-Newtonian slime, like oobleck, or pound it with your fist, it feels hard, like a wet solid. This is because applying stress squeezes the particles in the slime together, making it hard for them to slide against each other.
Most types of slime are also examples of polymers. Polymers are molecules made by linking together chains of subunits.
The specifics of how a type of slime works depends on its chemical composition, but the basic explanation is that chemicals are mixed to form polymers. The polymers act as a net, with molecules sliding against each other.
Two solutions are combined to make classic slime. One is diluted school glue, or polyvinyl alcohol in water. The other solution is borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O) in water.
Borax dissolves in water into sodium ions, Na+, and tetraborate ions.
The tetraborate ions react with water to produce the OH- ion and boric acid:
B4O72-(aq) + 7 H2O <—> 4 H3BO3(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
Boric acid reacts with water to form borate ions:
H3BO3(aq) + 2 H2O <— > B(OH)4-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Hydrogen bonds form between the borate ion and the OH groups of the polyvinyl alcohol molecules from the glue, linking them together to form a new polymer: slime.
