Answer:

Explanation:

Boyle believed that chemistry – the behavior of substances – could be explained through the motion of atoms, which in turn could be understood through mechanics – Galileo's mathematics of motion. Boyle was ultimately proved correct, because today we can understand chemistry mathematically, through quantum mechanics.

What are some chemical properties of Gallium?

Natali [406]

Answer:

Gallium is silvery white and soft enough to be cut with a knife. It takes on a bluish tinge because of superficial oxidation. Unusual for its low melting point (about 30 °C [86 °F]), gallium also expands upon solidification and supercools readily, remaining a liquid at temperatures as low as 0 °C (32 °F).

A topographical map would be useful for which activity? A. planning a hiking trip B. studying plant growth over time C. studying

amm1812

The answer is A. planning a hiking trip

A topographical map would not help studying plant growth over time unless you are looking for a better altitude to plant said plants.

A topographical map would not help studying rainfall for one year unless your location was really so high or low that it affected your weather

And most of all, a topographical map would not be useful for planning a cuise across the Atlantic Ocean because the elevation of the sea is zero!

A topographical map would be useful for planning a hiking trip because there are many factors and details that a hike should have. Which includes height, distance, paths, and elevation.

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 5.10×10-6 at 548 K. NH4Cl(s) NH3(g) + HCl(g) Calculate the equilibri

levacccp [35]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of HCl is $2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of $NH_4Cl(s)$ = 0.564 moles

Volume of vessel = 1.00 L

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of $NH_4Cl=\frac{0.564}{1}=0.564M$

The given chemical equation follows:

$NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)+HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.564

At eqllm: 0.564-x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=[NH_3][HCl]$

The concentration of pure solid and pure liquid is taken as 1.

We are given:

$K_c=5.10\times 10^{-6}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.10\times 10^{-6}=x\times x\\\\x=2.26\times 10^{-3}M,-2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Negative sign is neglected because concentration cannot be negative.

So, $[HCl]=2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of HCl is $2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

With the levels closest to the nucleus of

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.
