Answer:

Water has high heat capacity to act as a thermal buffer against freezing.

The specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 joules per gram per degree Celsius or 1 calorie per gram per degree Celsius.

So, the vats of water will help in preventing the freezing of the materilas inside.

Metals (M) in group 2 of the periodic table form ionic bonds
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

16

Explanation:

Group two elements are alkaline earth metal.

All these have two valance electrons. In order to achieve noble gas configuration it loses its two valance and get complete octet.

Reaction with group 16.

Reaction with oxygen,

They react with oxygen and form oxide.

2Ba   +   O₂   →    2BaO

2Mg  +   O₂   →    2MgO

2Ca +   O₂   →    2CaO

this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,

BaO  + H₂O   →  Ba(OH)₂

MgO  + H₂O   →  Mg(OH)₂

CaO  + H₂O   →  Ca(OH)₂

With sulfur,

Mg + S   →  MgS

Ca + S   →  CaS

Ba + S   →  BaS

What is the concentration of a sodium hydroxide solution if 14.5 mL of it are exactly neutralized by 30.0 mL of a 0.500 M hydroc
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1.03 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of HCl

30.0 mL (0.0300 L) of 0.500 M HCl react.

0.0300 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0150 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of NaOH that react with 0.0150 moles of HCl

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The moles of NaOH that react are 1/1 × 0.0150 mol = 0.0150 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar concentration of NaOH

0.0150 moles of NaOH are in 14.5 mL (0.0145 L).

M = 0.0150 mol/0.0145 L = 1.03 M

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for iodine (i). express your answer in condensed form.
Dovator [93]
Iodine electron configuration is:

1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 5S^2 4d^10  5P^5
when Krypton is the noble gas in the row above iodine in the periodic table,
we can change 1S^2  2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 by the symbol
[Kr] of Krypton.

So we can write the electron configuration of Iodine:
[Kr] 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
