Differences between iron and steel

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.

Read the given expression. X = number of protons − number of core electrons Which of the following explains the identity of X an

shepuryov [24]

Answer: The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

Explanation:

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

$Z^*=Z-\sigma$

where,

$Z^*$ = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

$\sigma$ = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

Explain why the process of dissolution can be exothermic or endothermic (heat of solution) with different solutes

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The process of dissolving is exothermic when more energy is released when water molecules “bond” to the solute than is used to pull the solute apart. Because more energy is released than is used, the molecules of the solution move faster, making the temperature increase.

Project the image Endothermic Dissolving.

The process of dissolving is endothermic when less energy is released when water molecules “bond” to the solute than is used to pull the solute apart. Because less energy is released than is used, the molecules of the solution move more slowly, making the temperature decrease.

The amount of energy required to heat water for a 10-minute shower (50 gallons) is 2.2125 kJ. How many calories is this

Alenkinab [10]

First, we convert the given amount of energy into joules.
1 kJ = 1000 joules
2.2125 kJ = 2,212.5 Joules

Each kilocalorie contains 4,184 Joules
Kilocalories = 2,212.5 / 4,182
Kilocalories = 0.529
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

0.529 kilocalories = 529 calories

Select the single best answer. Which mechanism properly shows the movement of electrons in the reaction? 2xsafari

sweet [91]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.

Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.

Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.
