At-57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase? View Available Hint(s) Phase diagrams for water (Figure 1)and carbon dioxi
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Gas

Increase the pressure

Explanation:

Let's refer to the attached phase diagram for CO₂ (not to scale).

<em>At -57 °C and 1 atm, carbon dioxide is in which phase?</em>

If we look at the intersection between -57°C and 1 atm, we can see that CO₂ is in the gas phase.

<em>At 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. From these conditions, how could the gaseous CO₂ be converted into liquid CO₂?</em>

Since at 10°C and 2 atm carbon dioxide is below the triple point, the only way to convert it into liquid is by increasing the pressure (moving up in the vertical direction).

Why does water have a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet?
leva [86]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Shape

The formula for water is H-O-H.

The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.

Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.

(b) Chemical magnet

The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.

This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).

The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fission?
viktelen [127]

<u>Advantages of Nuclear Fission</u>

  • Nuclear fission provides cheapest energy . Almost 10% of electricity used in the world is obtained from the fission reaction
  • It offers a low-emission energy solution since there is no carbon dioxide gas emitted during the  nuclear fission reaction
  • A well controlled and maintained nuclear reactor can produce energy for 36 to 40 months so works for .
  • It is a reliable source of energy as energy is obtained from uranium which is available is plenty.
  • It provides very concentrations of energy as it can provide large amount of energy from small amount of fuel.
  • The reaction gives less annual mortality rate of any energy resource with 90 deaths per trillion kilowatt hours

<u>Disadvantages of Nuclear Fission </u>

  • It is dangerous and  also explosive.
  • It creates harmful and radioactive waste products.
  • It is not a renewable energy resource like solar and wind energy
  • It can develop long-term health issues for people exposed to then radioactive waves.
  • It involves high cost in installation of the reactors.

Flourine is more reactive than chlorine​
IRISSAK [1]
Justification for your answer

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Chlorine is less reactive than fluorine because the outer electrons in a chlorine atom are further from the nucleus than the outer electrons in a fluorine atom. It is harder for a chlorine atom to gain an electron than it is for a fluorine atom.

There are three things to consider every single time relative reactivity is unknown; atomic radius, shielding, and number of electrons. The reactivity is the halogens ability to gain an electron, so number of electrons already in the atom plays a vital role. Chlorine has more electrons so repels a reacting electron with greater force than fluorine, making it less likely to react.

Fluorine also has fewer electron shells than chlorine, so there are fewer electrons between the positive nucleus and the reacting electron to essentiallly block, or weaken, the electromagnetic attraction. This is shielding. Lastly, fluorine is much smaller molecule than chlorine, and the shorter distance, or radius, between the nucleus and the electron again makes it more likely to attract the electron and react to gain a noble gas configuration.
