If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.
Answer:
(1). The vapor pressure is 91 mmHg at 20°C.
(2). No, benzene will not boil at sea level.
Explanation:
Benzene, C6H6 is an aromatic, liquid compound with with molar mass of 78.11 g/mol and Melting point of 5.5 °C. One of the importance or the uses of benzene is in the making of fibres and plastics.
The vapour pressure of benzene can be gotten from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids.
Boiling point can simply be defined as the point or the temperature in which the vapor pressure is the same with the atmospheric pressure.
The atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, while the vapor pressure at sea level is at the temperature of 15°C which is equal to 71 mmHg( from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids).
71 mmHg is not equal to 760 mmHg, thus, at sea level Benzene will not boil.
Answer:
Point of neutralization.
Explanation:
Indicators are used in titration experiments to show when the solution's pH is changing. For instance, a common indicator, phenolphthalein, turns pink in basic solutions, while it remains colorless in acidic solutions. The solution would turn a very light shade of pink when the pH reached above 7.
Answer:
B. PROTONS EXHIBIT STRONGER PULL ON OUTER f ORBITALS
Explanation:
Lanthanide contraction is the greater than normal decrease in the ionic radius of the lanthanide series from atomic number 57 to atomic number 71. This decrease is rather not expected of the ionic radii of these elements and they result in the greater decrease in the subsequent series of the lanthanides from the atomic number 72. The cause of which is as a result of the poor shielding effects of the nuclear charge around the electrons of the f orbitals. So therefore, protons are strongly pulled out of the 4f orbital and as a result of the poor shielding effect which causes the electrons of the 6s orbitals to be drawn more closer to the nucleus and hence resulting in a smaller atomic radii. It is worthy to note that the shielding effects of the inner electrons decreasing from s orbital to the f orbital; that is s > p > d > f. So from the decrease in the shielding effects from s to the f orbitals, lanthanide contraction results from the inability of the orbitals far away from s like the 4f orbiatls to shield the outermost shells of the lanthanide elements. So the cause of lanthanide contraction is the action of the protons which strongly pull the electrons of the f orbitals because of the poor shielding effects due to the distance of this orbital from the nucleus.
