Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

Komok [63]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Oil (crude and petroleum) is one of the major resources on earth in which the economy of a country is largely dependent on. These are non-renewable resources, which take thousands to million years of years in order to form.

It is highly essential. Every day, a large quantity of oil is being consumed. According to the researches done in the year 2015, it has been observed that the average global consumption of oil was 95 million barrels each day.

It has a high demand, and so it is being regularly used, and it has also been predicted that the present global oil reserves would be highly exhausted within the next 50 years.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The solubility of acetanilide in hot water (5.5 g/100 ml at 100∘C) is not very great, and its solubility in cold water (0.53 g/
Olin [163]

Answer:

89.4%

Explanation:

Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.

So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g

The percent recovery is:

(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%
