Consider the elements in Group 14. Which element has the highest electron affinity? A) Carbon B) Germanium C) Lead D) Silicon

Electron affinity is a measure of the tendency of a neutral atom  to gain electrons and form a negative ion. It can be represented by a general equation:

X + e- → X-

The value of electron affinity decreases on moving down a group. This is because on moving down a group the atomic size increases as a result the added electron feels less pull or attraction towards the nucleus.

In group 14, Carbon 'C' is the first member and therefore will have the highest electron affinity.

Ans : A) Carbon

Given 7.45 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100
KengaRu [80]

The equation for the reaction is:

C₄H₈O₂ + C₂H₅OH = C₆H₁₂O₂ + H₂O

Now you see that the number of the moles of butanoic acid and etyl butyrate is equal in

the reaction. That means;

number of moles of C₄H₈O₂ = number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂ = mass of C₆H₁₂O₂/ molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ = molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ x mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂

Now, assuming <span>100% yield, the mass of ethyl butyrate produced is: </span>

<span>= 7.45/88.11 x 116.16</span>

<span>=9.82g</span>

<span>Thus, the theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate is 9.82g.</span>

At what temperature will a solid melt?
jolli1 [7]

<u>Answer</u>:

A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to  liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.

It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

The force of 75 N must overcome in order to get the truck to start moving. What type of friction must be overcome?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Static Friction.

Explanation:

Friction is the force that resists the relative motion between the surfaces sliding against each other.

Static friction is friction between objects that are not in relative motion with each other.

The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as  μs,

Static friction arises due to surface roughness( relative term)

The static friction force can be overcome by an applied  maximum force

F max =  μs x N

N= normal force

Any force smaller than F max attempting to slide one surface over the other is opposed by a frictional force of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Any force larger than F max overcomes the force of static friction and causes sliding to occur.

This maximum force is sometimes called the limiting value also. Here that value is 75 N.

What 2 pieces of equipment will you use to separate the salt from the water?
uysha [10]

Separate Salt and Water Using Distillation

If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water. One way to separate salt and water at home is to boil the salt water in a pot with a lid.

hope this helps!!
