Answer:
            Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
                   As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

<span><span>Magnesium          0.160 nm
</span><span>
Aluminium           0.130 nm

Silicon                  0.118 nm
</span><span>
Phosphorus         <span>0.110 nm</span></span></span>

Which layer of Earth is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates?
vesna_86 [32]
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes the movement of tectonic plates. As the extremely hot molten material from the mantle rises toward the crust, it cools enough to become denser and sink back into the hotter area of the mantle.

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

My barometer is reading 1253 torr. What is the pressure in mmHg?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The pressure in mmHg is 1253 (option C)

Explanation:

Two quantities are directly proportional if when multiplying or dividing one of them by a number, the other is multiplied or divided by that number. In other words, the magnitudes are directly proportional when one magnitude increases and so does the other in the same proportion; or when one magnitude decreases and so does the other in the same proportion.

The rule of three or is a way of solving proportionality problems between three known values ​​and an unknown value, which can be applied to directly proportional quantities as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So x=\frac{c*b}{a}

where a, b and c are data and x is the unknown value to be calculated.

In this case, knowing that 1 Torr = 1 mmHg, the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 torr is equal to 1 mmHg, 1253 torr is equal to how many mmHg?

pressure=\frac{1253 torr*1 mmHg}{1 torr}

pressure= 1253 mmHg

<u><em>The pressure in mmHg is 1253 (option C)</em></u>
