Does observing a physical property of a substance change the identity of the substance? Explain.

1 answer:

No because observing a physical property of a substance is just observing like color or texture. They don't change. Physical properties do not change the composition of a substance and neither do physical changes.

P is the pressure in atmospheres (atm), V is the volume in liters (L), n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (0.0821 L

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The mass of the neon gas m = 1.214 kg

Explanation:

Pressure = 3 atm = 304 k pa

Volume = 0.57 L = 0.00057 $m^{3}$

Temperature = 75 °c = 348 K

Universal gas constant = 0.0821 $\frac{L . atm}{mol K}$

We have to change the unit of this constant. it may be written as

Universal gas constant = 8.314 $\frac{KJ}{mol K}$

Gas constant for neon = $\frac{8.314}{20}$ = 0.41 $\frac{KJ}{kg K}$

From ideal gas equation,

P V = m R T ------- (1)

We have all the variables except m. so we have to solve this equation for mass (m).

⇒ 304 × $10^{3}$ × 0.00057 = m × 0.41 × 348

⇒ 173.28 = 142.68 × m

⇒ m = 1.214 kg

This is the mass of the neon gas.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract electrons to themselves.

Process

Look for the electronegativity of each element and compare.

a) Cl = 3.16 F = 3.98 Fluorine has a higher electronegativity

b) Se = 2.55 O = 3.44 Oxygen has a higher electronegativity

c) N = 3.04 As = 2.18 Nitrogen has a higher electronegativity

d) Na = 0.93 Mg = 1.31 Magnesium has a higher electronegativity

Choose the correct option for the redox reaction below : 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) 4H2O(l) H+ (oxid

hodyreva [135]

Explanation:

8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

To determine if a substance was reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number at the reactant and product side is compared.

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive). When reduction occurs, an element gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases or is reduced (becomes more negative).

H+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 1 Choose...

There is an increase in oxidation number from 0 to 1. This means H+ was oxidized.

MnO4- (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 2 Choose...

In chemistry, an oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons

MnO4- is a strong oxidizing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 3 Choose...

A reducing agent means it will itself get oxidized. In this reaction, Fe2+ is the reducing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 4 Choose...

Oxidized

O in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 5 Choose...

There is no change in oxidation number of , so it was neither reduced nor was it oxidized.

Mn in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 6 Choose...

There is a decreaase in oxidation number from +7 to +2. This means reduction.
