Answer: a chemical change

Explanation:

A physical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.  Example: melting of ice

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in chemical composition takes place.A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Decomposition of water using electric current to produce hydrogen and oxygen is called as electrolysis and is a chemical change.

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

- 5. Describe the general trend in atomic radil across a row of the periodic table.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

Across a row, atomic radii decreases.

Explanation:

It decreases because nuclear charge increases across a row, electrons are added to the same shell and shielding remains constant. Therefore the outer electrons are more attracted to the nucleus making the atom smaller.

Which of the following ions is a polyatomic ion?
nlexa [21]
Among the choices, the polyatomic ion is only the third choice, NH4+ where it is composed of nitrogen one atom of nitrogen and 4 atoms of hydrogen. Choice 2 is a monoatomic atom being composed only of calcium. Then, the first and fourth choices are not ions because they are not charged.

a helium filled balloon has a volume of 208 l and it contains 9.95 moles of gas. if the pressure of the balloon is 1.26 atm dete
daser333 [38]
To determine the temperature of the gas, we need to assume ideal gas to use the equation PV=nRT where P represents the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, T is the temperature and R is the universal gas constant. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
T = PV / nR

T = (1.26 atm) ( 208 L ) / 0.08205 L-atm/mol-K ( 9.95 mol )
T = 321.02 K

Hope this answers the question.

5. Why are lonic compounds good conductors of electricity?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
