Metal solids contain a positively-charged cation surrounded by a "sea" of delocalised, negatively-charged electrons.

The electrons are able to move freely, and hence transfer kinetic energy throughout the implement at a much quicker rate than non-metals.

Plastic is made of non-metals (Mostly carbon and hydrogen) and therefore is a poor thermal conductor.

Therefore, by coating the metal utensil in plastic, the rate of heat energy transfer to the person in contact's hand is decreased.

At 25°C and 1.0 atm, 0.84 g of a gas dissolves in 2.00 L of water. What mass of the gas dissolves
UNO [17]

The mass of the gas dissolved in 1.00 L of water at 25°C and 3.0 atm is equal to 1.26 grams.

<h3>How to determine the mass of the gas dissolved?</h3>

In order to determine the mass of the gas dissolved, we would the calculate the new (final) solubility of this gas by applying this formula:

S₁P₂ = S₂P₁

Making S₂ the subject of formula, we have:

S₂ = (S₁P₂)/P₁

S₂ = (0.42 × 3.0)/1.0

S₂ = 1.26 g/L.

Now, we can determine the mass:

Mass = solubility × volume

Mass = 1.26 × 1.00

Mass = 1.26 grams.

Consider an ion with the symbol X2+ formed from a representative element. (5.2, 5.3)a. What is the group number of the element?b
sdas [7]

Answer:

a) the element belongs to group 2

b) see image attached

c) Magnesium

d) X3N2

Explanation:

Any ion with the formula X^2+ was derived from group 2 elements. The group two element found in period 3 is magnesium alone.

Since the nitride ion has a valency of -3 and X^2+ has a valency of +2 , then a compound formed between X^2+ and the nitride ion will have the formula X3N2.
