<u>Answer:</u> The main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Main group elements are the elements that are present in s-block and p-block.

The metals that are the main group elements are located in Group IA, Group II A and Group III A.

Oxides are formed when a metal or a non-metal reacts with oxygen molecule. There are two types of oxides which are formed: Acidic oxides and basic oxides.

  • Acidic oxides are formed by the non-metals.
  • Basic oxides are formed by the metals.

When a metal oxide is reacted with water, it leads to the formation of a base.

The general formula of the oxide formed by Group II-A metals is 'MO'

The chemical equation for the reaction of metal oxide of Group II-A and water follows:

MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

Hence, the main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

A 24.00 mL sample of a solution of Pb(ClO3)2 was diluted with water to 52.00 mL. A 17.00 mL sample of the dilute solution was fo
klio [65]

Answer:

0.238 M

Explanation:

A 17.00 mL sample of the dilute solution was found to contain 0.220 M ClO₃⁻(aq). The concentration is an intensive property, so the concentration in the 52.00 mL is also 0.220 M ClO₃⁻(aq). We can find the initial concentration of ClO₃⁻ using the dilution rule.

C₁.V₁ = C₂.V₂

C₁ × 24.00 mL = 0.220 M × 52.00 mL

C₁ = 0.477 M

The concentration of Pb(ClO₃)₂ is:

\frac{0.477molClO_{3}^{-} }{L} \times \frac{1molPb(ClO_{3})_{2}}{2molClO_{3}^{-}} =0.238M

A) Devices that transfer kinetic energy have what for their source of power?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

A) Devices that transfer kinetic energy have a source of power that is in motion

Kinetic energy is the energy in motion, as such, a device that transfers kinetic energy transfers the energy the power source has into other energy forms

B) Kerosene does not easily cold start like diesel which can burn after compression

C) The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved and it can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another.

Therefore, when energy is not available in a given location or body, it cannot be obtained from that body or location

babunello [35]

Answer:

5.0x10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete, however this is the data that has been found in a web search:

" One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose a EPA chemist tests a 250 mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this:

NiCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ →  2AgCl + Ni(NO₃)₂

The chemist adds 50 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 3.6 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

Keep in mind that while the process is the same, if the values in your question are different, then your answer will be different as well.

First we <u>calculate the moles of nickel chloride found in the 250 mL sample</u>:

  • 3.6 mg AgCl ÷ 143.32 mg/mmol * \frac{1mmolNiCl_{2}}{2mmolAgCl} = 0.0126 mmol NiCl₂

Now we <u>divide the moles by the volume to calculate the molarity</u>:

  • 0.0126 mmol / 250 mL = 5.0x10⁻⁵M
