What type of reaction takes place when potassium iodide reacts with chlorine gas?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - d. single replacement or displacement.

Explanation:

The displacement or replacement reaction is the reaction in which the less reactive molecule or element is replaced by the more reactive element or molecule in the reaction. If there is only one replacement occurs its termed as a replacement or single replacement reaction.

In this case, if chlorine gas passes through the water solution of KI (potassium iodide), solid iodine and KCl are produced by the displacement or replacement reaction. Here iodine is less reactive so replaced by the more reactive chlorine.

How much of a 1.00 mg sample of americium remains after 3 half-lives?
notka56 [123]
Answer: 0.125mg americium

Half-lives is a set of duration when a sample will become half of their original mass. In this case, the initial mass is 1mg and the sample is going for 3 times half-lives. Then the calculation would be: 1mg 1/2^{3} = 1/8 mg= 0.125mg.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

D) Pressure vs. temperature  

Explanation:

A phase diagram is a graph that shows the physical states of a substance under different conditions of temperature and pressure.

For example, the phase diagram below shows the different combinations of temperature and pressure under which water can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.

if the atomic number of neon is 10, how many dots would be needed to represent the outer electrons for an atom of neon in an ele
Neko [114]

Answer: 8 dots would be needed to represent the outer electrons for an atom of neon in an electron dot diagram.

Explanation:

Electron-dot diagram is also known as Lewis-dot structure. It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.  The valence electrons are represented by 'dot'.

As atomic number of neon is 10 and we know that neon has 10 electrons with electronic configuration of 2,8 and thus has '8' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons is 8 and 8 dots would be needed to represent the outer electrons for an atom of neon in an electron dot diagram.
