Answer:

D. bromine (Br)

Explanation:

Bromine is an element of halogen group.

Halogens, or "salt-formers," are located in group 17 of the periodic table. The halogens have the following properties:

1) They have low melting points and low boiling points.

2) They exist as diatomic molecules in the gas phase.

3) They have seven electrons in their outermost shell, which means they have seven valence

electrons.

4) They are highly reactive nonmetals.

5) They tend to gain electrons and form negative ions.

Thus the given properties are of Bromine.

A 100 W light bulb is placed in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston. The light bulb is turned on for 2.0×10−2 hour, and t

drek231 [11]

Answer:

(a) ΔU = 7.2x10²

(b) W = -5.1x10²

(c) q = 5.2x10²

Explanation:

From the definition of power (p), we have:

$p = \frac {\Delta W}{\Delta t} = \frac {\Delta U}{\Delta t}$ (1)

where, p: is power (J/s = W (watt)) W: is work = ΔU (J) and t: is time (s)

(a) We can calculate the energy (ΔU) using equation (1):

$\Delta U = p \cdot \Delta t = 100 \frac{J}{s} \cdot 2.0\cdot 10^{-2} h \cdot \frac{3600s}{1h} = 7.2 \cdot 10^{2} J$

(b) The work is related to pressure and volume by:

$\Delta W = -p \Delta V$

where p: pressure and ΔV: change in volume = V final - V initial

$\Delta W = - p \cdot (V_{fin} - V_{ini}) = - 1.0 atm (5.88L - 0.85L) = - 5.03 L \cdot atm \cdot \frac{101.33J}{1 L\cdot atm} = -5.1 \cdot 10^{2} J$

(c) By the definition of Energy, we can calculate q:

$\Delta U = \Delta W + \Delta q$

where Δq: is the heat transfer

$\Delta q = \Delta U - \Delta W = 7.2 J - (-5.1 \cdot 10^{2} J) = 5.2 \cdot 10^{2} J$

I hope it helps you!

Where did water become gas?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: Water becomes gas at D-E.

Explanation:
In the flat line D-E water is absorbing energy to become gas, and when the water is completely gas, the temperature will increase again therefore the line will rise up.

Draw the lewis structure for so42-. How many equivalent resonance structures can be drawn?

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ .

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $SO_4^{2-}$

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $SO_4^{2-}$ = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ is shown below.
