Answer:
Alkaline
Explanation:
In an alkaline solution, red litmus paper turns blue. When an alkaline compound dissolves in water, it produces hydroxide ions, which cause the solution to become alkaline.
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Alkanes are chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. TRUE.
Alkanes are hydrocarbons, that is, they are organic compounds formed only by carbon and hydrogen. In alkanes, carbon atoms are bonded to each other through single covalent bonds and they are also bonded to hydrogen atoms through the same type of bonds. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2.
Answer: fourth option, 10.8 kJ
Explanation:
The <em>heat of fusion</em>, also named latent heat of fusion, is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid (at constant pressure).
The data of the <em>heat of fusions</em> of the substances are reported in tables and they can be shown either per mole or per gram of substance.
In this case we have that the<em> heat of fusion for water </em>is reported per mole: <em>6.02 kJ/mole</em>.
The formula to calculate <em>how many kJ of heat (total heat) are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water, given that the water is at its melting point</em> is:
- Heat = number of moles × heat of fusion
The calculations are:
- number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 32.3 g / 18.015 g/mol = 1.79 mol
- Heat = 1.79 mol × 6.02 kJ / mol = 10.8 kJ ← answer
<u>Answer 2 :</u> The given electronic configuration for a neutral atom of phosphorous in its ground state is incorrect.
Explanation :
A neutral atom of phosphorous has 15 electrons.
The given electronic configuration is incorrect.
The reason is, According to Aufbau principle, the electrons will be first filled in the sub-shell having lower orbital energy. As from the given configuration, 3p sub-shell has lower orbital energy than 4s sub-shell. So, the electrons will be filled in 3p sub-shell first. Hence, the ground state electronic configuration of neutral atom of phosphorous is,
<u>Answer 3 :</u>
Element Rubidium Magnesium Aluminium
Symbol Rb Mg Al
Group number 1 2 13
Number of valence 1 2 3
electrons
The order of general reactivity on the basis of number of valence electrons.
Rb > Mg > Al
Reason : The reactivity is determined by the number of electrons present in the outermost shell that means the element which have 1 valence electron will be more reactive because they can easily lose electrons.
