A piece of lithium metal is added to a beaker that contains water and phenolphthalein. Using what you know about the properties

of bases, choose the best explanation for what you observe.
1) The phenolphthalein is turning pink because an acid is forming

2) The phenolphthalein is turning pink because a base is forming.

3) The phenolphthalein is turning pink because the reaction is at equilibrium.

Answer:

2) The phenolphthalein is turning pink because a base is forming.

Explanation:

Lithium metal reacts with water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.  

Li + H₂O → LiOH + H₂

LiOH is base. LiOH dissociates in water to release the hydroxyl ion OH⁻ which makes the pH greater than 7.0.

Phenolphthalein is an acid base indicator. It is colorless in acidic solution and turns pink in basic solution.

Why is it harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon, or, to put it another way, why are the valence electrons
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

5. The valence electrons of both fluorine and carbon are found at about the same distance from their respective nuclei but the greater positive charge of the fluorine nucleus attracts its valence electrons more strongly.

Explanation:

Both fluorine and carbon are located in the second period of the periodic table, it means that they have 2 shells, so the valence electrons are found at about the same distance from their respective nuclei.

But fluorine has a higher atomic number, 9, than the carbon, 6. The atomic number represents how many protons there are in the nucleus, then there are more protons (positive charge) at the fluorine nucleus, and because of that, the attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron is stronger in fluorine.

If the force is stronger, it will be necessary more energy to break the bond, so it will be harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.

the overall take away of an experiment’s results is the______. A. hypothesis B. introduction C. conclusion
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

conclusion

Explanation:

it can't be a hypothesis since tests are carried out to verify so it is not a theory

an introduction to an experiment only gives the basis of what we are investigating therefore nothing has been proven and the question is still unanswered

The sulfur content of an ore is determined gravimetrically by reacting the ore with concentrated nitric acid and potassium chlor
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

13.92 %

Explanation:

Mass of BaSO_4 = 12.5221 g

Molar mass of BaSO_4 = 233.43 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{12.5221\ g}{233.43\ g/mol}

Moles of BaSO_4 = 0.0536 moles

According to the given reaction,

Ba^{2+}_{(aq)}+SO_4^{2-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow BaSO_4_{(s)}

1 mole of BaSO_4 is formed from 1 mole of SO_4^{2-}

Thus,

0.0536 moles of BaSO_4 is formed from 0.0536 moles of SO_4^{2-}

Moles of SO_4^{2-} = 0.0536 moles

Moles of sulfur in 1 mole SO_4^{2-} = 1 mole

Moles of sulfur in 0.0536 mole SO_4^{2-} = 0.0536 mole

Molar mass of sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.0536 * 32.065 g = 1.7187 g

Mass of ore = 12.3430 g

Mass % = \frac{Mass\ of\ Sulfur}{Mass_{ore}}\times 100 = \frac{1.7187}{12.3430}\times 100 = 13.92 %
