Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.

For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.

And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become Na^{+} ion.

Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.

Explanation:

Creativity is important to science because sometimes, it is necessary to put forth new theories to explain experimental results.

Theories are explanation of scientific observations.

  • Most scientists are critical and creative thinkers.
  • They must be able to come up with a wide range of possible explanation to explain their findings.
  • The explanations must be scientific in nature and not fall out of the basic tenets of this way of thinking.
  • Therefore, scientists draw from their wealth of deductive reasoning to give explanations into an observed phenomenon.

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g) In the reaction above, 0.5487 grams of calcium carbide are completely consumed to
jasenka [17]

Answer:

239.7mL

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

The balanced chemical equation in this question is as follows:

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

From the equation, 1 mole of CaC2 produces 1 mole of ethylene gas, C2H2.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaC2 = 40 + 12(2)

= 40 + 24

= 64g/mol

mole = 0.5487/64

mole = 0.00857mol of CaC2

Hence, 0.00857mol of CaC2 produced 0.00857mol of C2H2

Based on the information provided, n = 0.00857mol, T = 43°C = 43 + 273 = 316K, p = 0.926 atm

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.00857 × 0.0821 × 316/0.926

V = 0.222/0.926

V = 0.2397L

In mL, volume = 0.2397 × 1000

= 239.7mL
