8 0

Answer:

Element X is Arsenic (As)

Explanation:

  • Elements in the periodic table are either metals, non-metals or metalloids.
  • Metals are elements that react by losing electrons to obtain a stable configuration and form cation.
  • Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form a stable configuration and form anion.
  • Metalloids are elements in the periodic table that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
  • Examples of metalloids include Selenium, Arsenic, Boron, etc.
  • Arsenic is a metalloid in period 4 (four energy levels) with five valence electrons.

Based on the properties of the compounds in the interactive, predict whether the given compounds behave as electrolytes or as no
Vesna [10]

Explanation:

Before proceeding we have to understand what electrolytes and non electrolytes are;

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved. An electrolyte is a compound that can dissociate into ions.

Non electrolytes: A substance whose molecules in solution do not dissociate to ions and thus do not conduct an electric current

Going through the options;

1. LiOH

This is a compound of hat would dissociate into Li+ and OH-.  This is an electrolyte.

2. C4H2O4

This is an organic compound. Gnerally organic acids are non electrolytes, with the exception og the acids. This is a nonelectrolyte.

3. LiBr

This is an electrolyte because it would dissociate into Li+ and Br-  ions.

4. HNO3

HNO3 is a strong acid. Because it is a strong acid it will dissociate completely into its ions (H+ and NO3-). Therefore we consider HNO3 to be a strong electrolyte.

In the video the presenter very briefly mentions further purification of the final product. (a). Explain why a further purificat
adelina 88 [10]

Due to presence of impurities further purification is needed.

A further purification is needed of the final product because of the presence of impurities in the final product. Further purification can also be done in order to gain pure product. There are various ways and methods which can be used for the purification such as Sublimation, Crystallization, Distillation, Differential Extraction and Chromatography.

These methods can be used for further purification and helps in the extraction of pure solution of final product so we can conclude that due to presence of impurities further purification is needed.

The pK of acetic acid is pK = 4.76. For a 0.1 M solution of acetic acid at a pH = 4.76 what is the concentration of [H+]?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

[H+] = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

By definition pH = -log  [H+]

Therefore, given the pH,  all we have to do is  solve algebraically for  [H+] :

[H+]  = antilog ( -pH ) =  10^-4.76 = 1.74 x 10⁻⁵

Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15, so the number of neutrons must be _______________.
Nikitich [7]
Remember this:

atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons 

The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31. 

So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.

31-15=16 

16 neutrons!!!
