Compounds

Explanation:

Compounds are substances that can be broken down by chemical means. They are categorized as pure substances due to their definite composition.

Compounds are substances composed of two or more kinds of atoms or elements joined together in a definite grouping.
Properties of compounds differs from those of the constituent atoms.
Compounds are broken down by chemical means because they are products of chemical changes.
Several kinds of compounds exists through combinations of atoms.
Compounds have definite compositions

Calculate the theoretical yield of iron(III) oxide expected for this reaction if 0.50 mol of iron is reacted with excess oxygen

a_sh-v [17]

When you are dealing with mole calculations, whatever you do to one side of the equation you must also do to the other. .5Fe is 1/8th of 4Fe, so in order to determine what it will yield you must divide the given amount of Fe2O3 and divide THAT by 1/8th, leaving you with .25 mol of Fe2O3.

Based on its position in the periodic table, the element sulfur would be expected to have how many valence electrons? A: 4 B: 6

ExtremeBDS [4]

C. 6 Valence electrons. Remember that the family that they are in will determine the number of valence electrons that element will have. Sulfur is in family 16 so it will have 6 Valence electrons.

On many common appliances, there is an “O” or “I” on the power switch. What does each symbol mean?

Art [367]

"I" symbol means the current goes through the system (imagine the 'I' being a line, like a circuit connecting [power to the device]) "O" symbol means the current does not go through the system. ( the circle is an open circuit, having no power flowing through it

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).

How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?

Sav [38]

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.
