If most objects are made up of free space then why can we put our hands through a book or wall?

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.

Given any two elements within a group, is the element with the larger atomic number likely to have a larger or smaller atomic ra

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Atomic radius of sodium = 227 pm

Atomic radius of potassium = 280 pm

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

Consider the example of sodium and potassium.

Sodium is present above the potassium with in same group i.e, group one.

The atomic number of sodium is 11 and potassium 19.

So potassium will have larger atomic radius as compared to sodium.

Atomic radius of sodium = 227 pm

Atomic radius of potassium = 280 pm

When 6.85×10⁵ cal is converted to kilojoules, the result obtained is 2866.04 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>

Energy (cal) = 6.85×10⁵ cal
Energy (KJ) =?

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

<h3>How to convert 6.85×10⁵ cal to kilojoules</h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

Therefore,

6.85×10⁵ cal = 6.85×10⁵ × 0.004184

6.85×10⁵ cal = 2866.04 KJ

Thus, 6.85×10⁵ cal is equivalent to 2866.04 KJ

A 0.590 gram sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to:M(s) +H2SO4(aq) --> MSO4(aq) +H2(g)A vol

Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal

Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.
