Answer:

Yes, wind and temperature are responsible for the spreading of fire.

Explanation:

Chemistry play a key role in the chemical reaction that is occurring in the wildfires because chemistry is the study of chemicals and in wildfires, the reaction of chemicals is responsible for the occurring and spreading of fire. Yes, wind currents and temperature has a great influence on the fire spreading in the forests. The fire occurs in the forest is due to temperature while its spreading happens due to wind. Placing water on the fire does not help extinguish the fire because the the fire particles can be transmitted for a fair distance by wind.

Would you expect an atom to have a charge?

puteri [66]

Answer:

An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. The positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral.

Liquid A and liquid B form a solution that behaves ideally according to Raoult's law. The vapor pressures of the pure substances

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Vapor pressure of solution → 151.1 Torr

Option 2.

Explanation:

Raoult's Law is relationed to colligative property about vapor pressure. A determined solute, can make, the vapor pressure of solution decreases.

ΔP = P° . Xm

where Xm is the mole fraction of solute, P° (vapor pressure of pure solvent)

and ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution.

In order to determine the vapor pressure of solution, we need to determine, the vapor pressure of B and A in the solution

B's pressure = P° B . Xm

When we add A to B, A works as the solute and B, as the solvent.

Vapor pressure of pure B is 135 torr. (P° B)

In order to determine, the Xm, we use the moles of A and B

Xm = 5.3 mol of B / (1.28 + 5.3) → 0.806

B's pressure = 135 Torr . 0.806 → 108.81 Torr

If mole fraction of B is 0.806, mole fraction for A (solute) will be (1 - 0.806)

A's pressure = 218 Torr . 0.194 → 42.3 Torr

Vapor pressure of solution is sum of vapor pressures of solute + solvent.

Vapor pressure of solution = 42.3 Torr + 108.81 Torr → 151.1 Torr

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
