Answer:

B) repel each other.

Explanation:

The Van de Graaff generator works by generating net positive charges. Consequently, any material that comes in contact with the electrostatic generator ends up becoming positively charged.

When a human touches the generator, such human also becomes positively charged including every strand of hair on the person's head.

According to Coulomb's law of electric forces, like charges repel one another while unlike charges attract. <em>Hence, the positively charged hair strands try to stay as far away from one another as possible in accordance with Coulomb's law which manifests as 'standing up of hair strands'</em>.

The correct option is B.

Use electron configurations to account for the stability of the lanthanide ions Ce⁴⁺ and Eu²⁺.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

 The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows

[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²

After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.

Eu  has electronic configuration as follows

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷

Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so  Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.

Ce⁺²

What mass of copper is consumed in the reaction with hydrochloric acid if 10.0 g of gas is collected?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

317 g

Explanation:

Cu + 2HCl --> CuCl2 +H2

1      :     2           1 : 1

1 mole of Cu  = 63.5 g

1 mole of  H2 = 2g

1 mole  Cu produces = 1 mole of H2

63.5 g of Cu produces = 2 g of H2

So

10 g of H2 will be produced from =  (63.5/2)*10 = 317 g of Copper
