Coal a is a chemical compound. It is pure carbon. You cannot separate carbon into other molecules without changing its chemical consitution.

Petroleum is a mixture of many chemical compounds, hydrocarbons, plus other elements. Petroleum components contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and some metal traces. The different compounds that consitute the petroleum can be separated by physical media like distillation.

Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?
maria [59]

Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

The mass and volume of each box is given in the chart below. Calculate the density of each box. Density = Mass/ volume which box
stira [4]

Box C will have the greatest density.

All boxes have the same volume.

Explanation:

We calculate the density using the following formula:

density = mass / volume

density of Box A = 10 g / 20 cm³ = 0.5 g/cm³

density of Box B = 30 g / 20 cm³ = 1.5 g/cm³

density of Box C = 170 g / 20 cm³ = 8.5 g/cm³

Box C will have the greatest density.

All boxes have the same volume.

Answer:

False. The balanced equation should be

2KClO3-->2KCl + 3O2

it is a decomposition reaction.

Marta_Voda [28]

The lab coat is not thick enough to protect you from ionizing radiation.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is a form of energy that we can not see with our optical eyes. We know that radiation could have a damaging effect on the body. The sort of radiation that could have a damaging effect on the body is what we call ionizing radiation.

We know that an ionizing radiation could only be stopped by a thick vest such as a lead coat. If you are wearing a lab coat, you are not safe because the lab cat is not thick enough to protect you from ionizing radiation.
