Which statements are correct about silicon?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. Metalloid

E. Has similar properties as Ge

F. Belongs to Period 3​

Explanation:

Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.

It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.

Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.

The parent element 247 95 am decays by beta decay which daughter element will formn
ziro4ka [17]
Atomic mass of the parent element =247,
atomic number of the parent element = 95

In the process of β-decay electron leaves the nucleus, so instead of one neutron we get one proton.

Mass of proton≈mass of neutron,
so atomic mass will not change.

Charge of proton =+1, and charge of neutron = 0.
So, we will get atomic number increased by one.

New element (daughter) will have 
atomic mass = 247, 
and atomic number= 95+1=96

Number 95 - Am (parent),
number 96 - Cm(daughter),

So, from Am-247 we will get Cm-247.

33.23 grams of a thin sheet of iron is completely oxidized in 7 days. How would you express the rate of conversion of the silver
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A. 0.0440 moles/day

Explanation:

First, let's figure out how many moles 33.23 grams of silver is. We do this by dividing the number of grams by the molar mass of silver, which is 107.87 g/mol:

33.23 g Ag ÷ 107.87 g/mol = 0.3081 mol Ag

Now, let's divide this by 7 to get the rate per day:

0.3081 mol Ag ÷ 7 days = 0.0440 mol/day

Thus, the answer is A.

A 0.590 gram sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to:M(s) +H2SO4(aq) --> MSO4(aq) +H2(g)A vol
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal
