Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Ba is element 56. Its electron configuration is

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶ 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶ 6s²

That's a lot of writing.

To lessen the work, chemists have developed the noble gas notation.

The core electrons of Ba (listed in boldface) have the same electron configuration as Xe, the noble gas found two atoms earlier in the Periodic Table.

Chemists replace the core electron configuration with the symbol of the corresponding noble gas.

The noble gas notation for Ba becomes

Ba: [Xe]6s².

Explain why heating a liquid causes it to evaporate more quickly.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. The most energetic particles at the surface escape from the surface of the liquid as a vapour as it gets warmer. Liquids evaporate faster as they heat up and more particles have enough energy to break away.

The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called

Flauer [41]

Answer:

The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called Oxidation.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are defined as,

In terms of Inorganic chemistry:

(i) Removal of Electrons:

Example: Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2 e⁻

(ii) Addition of Oxygen:

Example: 2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

In terms of Organic chemistry:

(i) Addition of Electrons:

Example: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

(ii) Addition of Hydrogen:

Example: H₂CCH₂ + H₂ → H₃CCH₃

How does a scientific theory differ from a guess or an opinion?

natima [27]

Answer:

Scientific theory differs from a guess or opinion because a scientific theory is a system of ideas that explains many related observation and is supported by a large body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation while guesses and opinions may not reliably predict an outcome, have evidence to back up the theory

To a 0.0001 m solution of mg(no3)2, naoh was added to a final concentration of 0.001m did a precipitate form?

Natalija [7]

I looked on a solubility chart to answer this question, and hydroxides are generally insoluble (with some exceptions of course). However, it says to consider $Mg(OH)_{2}$ as an insoluble substance, though it may be moderately soluble.

The answer that you are most likely looking for is: Yes, a precipitate does form - this is due to the double placement reaction:

$Mg(NO_{3})_{2}_{(aq)}$ + $2NaOH_{(aq)}$ → $Mg(OH)_{2} {(s)}$ + $2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}$
