I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.

Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.

An atom of which of these elements most likely forms an anion? A. AI B. Br C. Ca D. Mg
Papessa [141]
The answer is B. A good way determine this is how far right the element is on the periodic table. The further right the element is, the more electronegative it is meaning it is more willing to accept an electron. This can be explained using the valence electrons and how many need to be added or removed to complete the octet. The further right you are, the easier it is for the element to just gain a few electrons instead of loose a bunch. Noble gases are the exception to this since they don't normally react though.

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane is: 2C2H2 + 5O2 CO2 + 2H2O 2CH4 + 5O2 2CO2 + 4H2O 2C4H10 + 13O2 8CO2
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Butane is C₄H₁₀.

C_4H_{10} + O_2 \to CO_2 + H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{balance carbon and hydrogen on the right-hand side:} \\
C_4 H_{10} + O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{balance oxygen on the left-hand side:} \\
C_4 H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} \ O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction:} \\
2 \ C_4H_{10} + 13 \ O_2 \to 8 \ CO_2 + 10 \ H_2O

The balanced equation is 2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ <span>→</span> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O.

Which of the following does not apply to water molecules?
serg [7]

Answer:

It is the last one.

Explanation:

Water molecules are polar, they have cohesive properties, and water is less dense when it is solid than when it is a liquid, that is why ice floats in liquid water. However, water is a very good solvent, it can dissolve many solids, including sugar, salt, and other hydrophilic substances.

4. Consider a 33.0 mL solution containing 0.0758 M NaF and 0.0955 M HF. What is the total number of moles of HF after the additi
Ostrovityanka [42]
Buffer solution resist the change in pH upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base.
Buffer consists of weak acid as HF / and its conjugate base NaF
When strong acid as HCl is added to buffer, it respond with its conjugate base to convert the strong acid to weak acid like this:
HCl (S.A) + NaF → NaCl + HF (W.A)
moles of HF we already have = M * V(in liters)
                                                = 0.0955 M * 0.033 L = 3.15 x 10⁻³ mole
moles of HCl added = 8.00 x 10⁻⁵ mole
one mole HCl reacts with 1 mole NaF to give 1 mole HF
so the amount added to HF = 8.00 x 10⁻⁵
Total moles of HF present = (3.15 x 10⁻³) + (8.00 x 10⁻⁵) = 3.23 x 10⁻³ mole
