Full question options;

(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)

Answer:

Iron - Fe

Explanation:

We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.

Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;

Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.

Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;

Fe:  [Ar]4s2 3d6

Fe2+:  [Ar]4s0 3d6

Fe3+:  [Ar]4s0 3d5

This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.

Rhenium (Re) is made up of 37.4% 185Re and 62.6% 187Re. The atomic mass of 185Re is 184.953 amu. The atomic mass of 187Re is 186
Anna007 [38]
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. We calculate as follows:

Average atomic mass = .374 ( 184.953 amu ) + .626 ( <span>186.958 amu )  = 186.208 amu

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Which of the following answers below is the correctly balanced half-reaction for the reduction of the SO4 ^-2 ion in acid soluti
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The oxidation number of Sulphur in SO4^2- is;

x + 4(-2) = -2

x - 8 = -2

x = -2 + 8

x = 6

Now,

the oxidation number of sulphur in H2SO3 is

2 (1) + x + 3(-2) = 0

2 + x -6 = 0

-4 + x = 0

x = 4

Hence, the oxidation number of sulphur changed from +6 to +4 which signifies  gain of two electrons as shown in option C.

For the reaction 2A + 4B ----&gt; 2C + 2D, at a particular instant in time, the rate of the reaction is 0.0352 M/s. What is the
viva [34]

Explanation:

The given chemical equation is:

2A + 4B -> 2C + 2D

The rate of the reaction is 0.0352 M/s.

During the course of the reaction, the rate of reactants decreases, and the rate of products increases.

The rate of disappearance of B is shown below:

rate=-\frac{1}{4} \frac{d[B]}{dt}

So, rate of change of B is :

rate of change of B =- rate * 4\\=-0.0352 M/s * 4\\=-0.1408M/s\\\\=-0.141M/s

Option C.

contrast longitudinal and transverse waves by describing the particle movement in sound and water waves :​
Airida [17]

Answer: In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. Transverse waves are characterized by peaks and valleys, called crests and troughs. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the wave's direction of travel.
