Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

You are starting with 2 pounds of 30% acetic acid solution. You want to dilute
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The mass of water to be added is 2 pounds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the given solution = 2 pounds

The concentration of the given solution = 30%

The desired concentration of the solution = 15%

The mass, m of the acetic acid in the given solution = 30% × 2 pounds

m = 30/100 × 2 pounds = 0.6 pounds

To make a 15% acetic acid solution of acetic acid, the mass X of the required volume, is given as follows;

15% of X = 0.6 pounds

15/100 × X = 3/20 × 0.6 pounds

∴ The mass of the solution required  X = 0.6 × 20/3 = 4 pounds

The mass of the solution that will contain 0.6 pounds of acetic acid giving a 15% acetic acid solution is 4 pounds

Therefore, the mass of water to be added to the original solution to make the a 15% acetic acid solution is 2 pounds.

What is true about elements that are in the same column group or family
shusha [124]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?

A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.

B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.

D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.

When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed. What mass of oxygen would b
Drupady [299]
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

7 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.218 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.218 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.3275 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.3275 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 10.48 g O₂

A student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D.phototropism

Explanation:

Phototropism is a type of tropism in which a plant or plant part responds to light. According to this question, a student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of cress seedlings. The student used three different pots for the experiment.

Pot 1 was placed with light from above. Pot 2 was placed in a cupboard with no light. Pot 3 was placed in a window with light from one direction only. However, the image attached to this question shows that the plants in the different pots face different directions in response to light, which depicts phototropism
