Metalloid

Explanation:

If an element is lustrous, brittle and a semi-conductor, it is best classified as a metalloid.

Metalloids shares attributes of metals and non-metals.

  • They are often described as semi-metals as they do not share the full properties that makes a metal a metal.
  • Metalloids are lustrous but not malleable like metals.
  • They do not conduct electricity but they do so on certain conditions.
  • Examples are silicon, germanium, boron, arsenic e.t.c
  • They are usually found in the middle of the periodic table.
  • They are not readily alloyed with metals.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

5.83 mol.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>2Al + 3Ag₂S → 6Ag + Al₂S₃,</em>

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of Ag₂S to produce 1 mol of Ag and 1 mol of Al₂S₃.

Al reacts with Ag₂S with (2: 3) molar ratio.

<em>So, 2.27 mol of Al reacts completely with 3.4 mol of Ag₂S with (2: 3) molar ratio.</em>

<em />

  • The limiting reactant is Ag₂S.
  • The excess "left over" reactant is Al.

The reamining moles of excess reactant "Al" = 8.1 mol - 2.27 mol = 5.83 mol.

Which compounds are lewis acids? select all that apply. (ch3ch2)2hc+ cl3c− ch3nh2 bbr3?
alexandr402 [8]

The Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors due to the availability of vacant orbitals they accept electrons from the donor compounds.

  • (CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+} is a Lewis acid due to the unfilled valence shell on carbon atom (possessing positive charge) it accepts electron readily.
  • CCl_{3}^{-} is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of negative charge which represents that there are electrons available for donation.
  • CH_3NH_2 is not a Lewis acid due to the presence of lone pair on nitrogen which is easily donated to the acceptors.
  • BBr_3 is a Lewis acid due to the availability of vacant p-orbital on boron atom.

Hence, (CH_3CH_2)_2CH^{+} and BBr_3 are Lewis acids.

In Denver, Colorado the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level. Explain what potential effects this may have on the solub
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The solubility of the gaseous solute decreases

Explanation:

As we know, pressure decreases with altitude. This means that, at higher altitudes, the pressure is much lower than it is at sea level.

The solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure and decreases with decrease in pressure.

Hence, in Denver, Colorado where the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level, a gaseous solute is less soluble than it is at sea level due to the lower pressure at such high altitude.

A sample of argon gas has a volume of 73 mL at a pressure of 1.20 atm and a temperature of 112 degrees Celsius. What is the fina
NeX [460]

Answer:

V₂ → 106.6 mL

Explanation:

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to solve the problem. For the two situations:

P . V = n . R . T

Moles are still the same so → P. V / R. T = n

As R is a constant, the formula to solve this is: P . V / T

P₁ . V₁ / T₁ = P₂ .V₂ / T₂   Let's replace data:

(1.20 atm . 73mL) / 112°C = (0.55 atm . V₂) / 75°C

((87.6 mL.atm) / 112°C) . 75°C = 0.55 atm . V₂

58.66 mL.atm = 0.55 atm . V₂

58.66 mL.atm / 0.55 atm = V₂ → 106.6 mL

timama [110]

Answer:

pI = 6.16

Explanation:

The pI is given by the average of the pKas that are involved. In this case,

Pka of carboxylic acid was given as 2.72 and that of the Amino group was given as 9.60. the average would then be ½(2.72+9.60)

= 6.16
