Which of the following best describes Earth's tectonic plates?

Water molecules have __________ than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb l

Flura [38]

Given what we know, the ability of water to absorb more heat than the other substances mentioned is a reflection of its high boiling point.

<h3>What do we mean by boiling point?</h3>

This is the temperature at which the substance boils, and subsequently evaporates. Having a higher boiling point means that the substance will be able to absorb much more heat than that of a substance with a lower boiling point.

Therefore, Water molecules have a higher boiling point than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb large amounts of heat.

Why is the answer C for this problem?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{(C) X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}$

Explanation:

Step 1. Identify the Group that contains X

We look at the consecutive ionization energies and hunt for a big jump between them

$\begin{array}{crc}n & IE_{n} & IE_{n} - IE_{n-1}\\1 & 730 & \\2 & 1450 & 720\\3 & 7700 & 6250\\4 & 10500 & 2800\\\end{array}$

We see a big jump between n = 2 and n = 3. This indicates that X has two valence electrons.

We can easily remove two electrons, but the third electron requires much more energy. That electron must be in the stable, filled, inner core.

So, X is in Group 2 and P is in Group 15.

Step 2. Identify the Compound

X can lose two valence electrons to reach a stable octet, and P can do the same by gaining three electrons.

We must have 3 X atoms for every 2 P atoms.

The formula of the compound is $\boxed{\text{X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}$}$ .

The rate of effusion of an unknown gas was measured and found to be 11.9 mL/min. Under identical conditions, the rate of effusio

iren2701 [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) $CO_2$

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

$R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$

or,

$(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$ ..........(1)

where,

$R_1$ = rate of effusion of unknown gas = $11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}$

$R_2$ = rate of effusion of oxygen gas = $14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}$

$M_1$ = molar mass of unknown gas = ?

$M_2$ = molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$(\frac{11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}}{14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}})=\sqrt{\frac{32g/mole}{M_1}}$

$M_1=44.2g/mole$

The unknown gas could be carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ that has approximately 44 g/mole of molar mass.

Thus, the unknown gas could be carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$

How many moles are in 12 liters of Cl2?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.54 \ mol \ Cl_2}}$

Explanation:

A mole is any quantity of a substance that contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles. At standard temperature and pressure, or STP, 1 mole of as is equal to 22.4 liters. This is true for any gas, regardless of the specific kind.

Although it is not specified, we can assume this gas is at STP. Let's set up a ratio using this information: 22.4 L/mol

$\frac {22.4 \ L \ Cl_2}{1 \ mol \ Cl_2}$
