ty of the sample is 11.0 g/cm3 at 20°C, then the sample most likely is _____.

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass present in unit volume of the substance.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Given that density of pure lead is more than that of the sample.

Density of lead = 11.4 g/cm^3

Density of sample = 11.0 g/cm^3

Since, we know that density is directly linked to mass of the substance. So with decrease in density of substance indicates that mass present in unit volume of the substance has also decreased.

The reason behind the less density of sample from lead was that, that it was made up lead and other light substance.

The sample is most likely lead with lighter substances in it. Pure lead would be closer to the pure lead density, and heavier substances would make the density more, not less.

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms
ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Consider the reaction below. Which species is(are) the Brønsted-Lowry acid(s)?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

HF is the acid

Explanation:

The Brønsted-Lowry theory defines the acids and bases in chemistry as follows:

An acid is the species that can donate a proton

A base can accept protons.

In the reaction:

HF(aq) + NH₃(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

As you can see, HF can donate its proton to produce F⁻: HF is the acid

<em>In the same way, NH₃ is accepting a proton, NH₃ is the base.</em>

Consider two solid blocks, one hot and the other cold, brought into contact in an adiabatic container. After awhile, thermal equ
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: The statement is not correct because the decrease in entropy of the hot solid CANNOT BE equal to the increase in entropy of the cold one

Explanation:

Let us start by stating the second law of thermodynamics and it the second law of thermodynamics states that there is an entity called entropy and entropy will always increase all the time. Also, the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy can never be negative. The second law of thermodynamics can be said to be equal to Change in the transfer of heat, all divided by temperature.

So, the first law of thermodynamics deals with the conservation of energy. But there is nothing like conservation of entropy.

Therefore, the decrease in entropy of the hot solid CANNOT BE equal to the increase in entropy of the cold one because entropy is not a conserved property.

Explain how dalton’s atomic theory offered a convincing explanation of the observation that mass is conserved in chemical reacti
podryga [215]

Dalton's atomic theory was based on the law of conservation of mass which states that the matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only transformed into one form or another. In a chemical reaction, total mass of the reactants will be equal to the total mass of the products.

Taking an example,

methane+oxygen\rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide}+water

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Mass of CH_4 = 16g

Mass of 2O_2 = 2\times 32g

Total mass on reactant side = (16+2\times 32)

Total mass on reactant side = 80g

Mass of CO_2 = 44g

Mass of 2H_2O=2\times 18g

Total mass on product side = (44+2\times 18)

Total mass on product side = 80g

It is seen from the above example that the

total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side.
