Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form F^{-} ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms Na^{+} ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Ali will need to either taste test or test the drinks on a ph scale. A neutral drink is water, as neutral has a ph of 7. The ph scale ranges from 1 to 14, going from acidic to basic. So if the drink has a ph less than 7, it is acidic, if its more, its basic.

Answer:

Most viscous to least viscous: (c)> (b)> (a)

Explanation:

For hydrocarbons, viscosity increases with increasing molar mass. Because increasing molar mass signifies increase in number of electrons in molecules.

We know that in non-polar hydrocarbons, only van der waal intermolecular force exists. Van der waal force is proportional to number of electrons in a molecule.

Therefore with increasing molar mass, van der waal force increases. hence molecules gets more tightly bind with each other resulting increase in viscosity.

Here molar mass order : (c)> (b)> (a)

Therefore viscosity order : (c)> (b)> (a)

What are the relationships between temperature and viscosity of water?
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

Both cohesion and molecular interchange contribute to liquid viscosity. The impact of increasing the temperature of a liquid is to reduce the cohesive forces while simultaneously increasing the rate of molecular interchange. The former effect causes a decrease in the shear stress while the latter causes it to increase.

temperature?

The viscosity of liquids decreases rapidly with an increase in temperature, and the viscosity of gases increases with an increase in temperature. Thus, upon heating, liquids flow more easily, whereas gases flow more sluggishly.

a 22.44g sample of iron absorbs 180.8 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 21.1C to 39.0/ what is
NeX [460]

Answer:

The specific heat of iron is 0.45 J/g.°C

Explanation:

The amount of heat absorbed by the metal is given by:

heat = m x Sh x ΔT

From the data, we have:

heat = 180.8 J

mass = m = 22.44 g

ΔT = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 39.0°C - 21.1 °C = 17.9°C

Thus, we calculate the specific heat of iron (Sh) as follows:

Sh = heat/(m x ΔT)  = (180.8 J)/(22.44 g x 17.9°C) = 0.45 J/g.°C

Making methanol the element hydrogen is not abundant in nature, but it is a useful reagent in, for example, the potential synthe
stealth61 [152]
ΔG⁰ = ΔH⁰ - TΔS
ΔH⁰ = Hf,(CH₃OH) - Hf,(CO) = -238.7 + 110.5 = -128.2 kJ/mol
ΔS = S(CH₃OH) - S(CO) - 2S(H₂) = 126.8 - 197.7 - 2 x 130.6 = -332.1 J/mol.K
So 
ΔG⁰ = - 128200 + 332.1 T
For the reaction to be spontaneous:
ΔG⁰ < 0
So: -128200 + 332.1 T < 0
332.1 T < 128200
T < 386.028 K
