Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sodium bromide (NaBr) is an ionic salt as it is formed by transfer of an electron from sodium to bromine atom.

Whereas CO_{2}, HCN, N_{2} and NH_{3} are all covalent compounds. And, all of them exists as a gas at room temperature.

Also according to rate of diffusion law, rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to square root of molecular weight of gas.

Mathematically,  Rate of diffusion = \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}

Out of the given options NaBr has the highest molecular weight which is 102.894 g/mol.

Thus, we can conclude that NaBr is most likely not a gas at room temperature.

why do you think the experimenter conducted this experiment in a lab rather than in the natural world, where this phenomenon was
taurus [48]

Answer:

The experimenter observed this experiment in a lab rather than natural world because it might be dangerous to the atmosphere if he does the experiment in the natural world and it was still an hypothesis so that's why he did it in the lab.

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m
Setler [38]

Answer:2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from MgI_2.

2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

What makes up the human body? (A)many different gases (B)carbon dioxide (D)many cells (C) minerals
never [62]

Answer:

<em></em>(B) Carbon Dioxide<em></em>

Explanation:

Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements

Hope this helps :)
