Answer : The incorrect statements are:

(A) When two nonmetals react, the compound formed is ionic.

(B) Two nonmetals can undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Explanation :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

The two nonmetals can not undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The metal-nonmetal reaction can always be assumed to be an oxidation-reduction reaction.

For example : $2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

In this reaction, sodium shows oxidation because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (+1) and and chlorine shows reduction because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (-1).

Hence, the incorrect statements are, (A) and (B)

Calculate the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol, C2H5OH, at 285.0 K, given that the molar heat capacity at constant pr

MArishka [77]

Answer: The standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol is 0.275 J/K

Explanation:

$C_2H_5OH(l)\rightleftharpoons C_2H_5OH(g)$

Using Gibbs Helmholtz equation:

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

For a phase change, the reaction remains in equilibrium, thus $\Delta G=0$

$\Delta H=T\Delta S$

Given: Temperature = 285.0 K

$\Delta H=78.3J/mol$

Putting the values in the equation:

$78.3J=285.0K\times \Delta S$

$\Delta S=0.275J/K$

Thus the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol is 0.275 J/K

A solution containing aluminium ions forms a white precipitate when a few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution are added to

Otrada [13]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A word equation tries to depict a chemical reaction in words. Letters rather than only chemical formulas are used to show the reaction equation.

Now we want to write a word equation that shows the reaction of sodium hydroxide solution and aluminium sulphate solution:

Alumunium sulphate + sodium hydroxide ------>Aluminium hydroxide + sodium sulphate

How can you simulate the radioactive half-life of an element?

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

TRIAL 1:

For “Event 0”, put 100 pennies in a large plastic or cardboard container.

For “Event 1”, shake the container 10 times. This represents a radioactive decay event.

Open the lid. Remove all the pennies that have turned up tails. Record the number removed.

Record the number of radioactive pennies remaining.

For “Event 2”, replace the lid and repeat steps 2 to 4.

Repeat for Events 3, 4, 5 … until no pennies remain in the container.

TRIAL 2:

Repeat Trial 1, starting anew with 100 pennies.

Calculate for each event the average number of radioactive pennies that remain after shaking.

Plot the average number of radioactive pennies after shaking vs. the Event Number. Start with Event 0, when all the pennies are radioactive. Estimate the half-life — the number of events required for half of the pennies to decay.
