B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.
Answer:
Ammonia gas(an alkaline gas with characteristics of choking or irritating smell) is not liberated when 6mole of HCl is added to the solution instead of 6mole of NaOH, to test for the presence of ammonium ion in the solution
Explanation:
As expected, when testing for ammonium ion in a solution (precisely ammonium salt solution), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is required as the test reagent.
When NaOH is added to the solution, A gas with characteristics of choking or irritating smell is liberated.
This gas turn red litmus paper blue.
This liberated gas is an alkaline gas, which is confirmed as an ammonia gas(NH3).
If HCl is added instead of NaOH, the ammonia gas will not be liberated, which indicates that the test reagent used is wrong.
Answer:
Magnesium Difluoride
Explanation:
Mg = magnesium
F = fluoride
F2 = difluoride (prefix "di" indicates 2)
The molecular mass of carbon monoxide (CO) is 28 g/mol
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
The molecular mass of CO = atomic mass of C + atomic mass of O
From periodic table the atomic mass of C = 12 g/mol and for O = 16 g/mol
Therefore the molecular mass of Co = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol
