The element found in nature only in compounds is Sodium

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

7 0

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance which contains two or more different atoms combined together.

Sodium is found as sodium chloride in nature. Sodium chloride is also known as common salt.

As it contains a sodium atom combined to a chlorine atom, therefore, it is a compound.

Thus, we can conclude that sodium is the element that is found in nature only in compounds.

What is the overall energy transformation in a coal-fired power plant?.

polet [3.4K]

Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.

Hope this helps.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

b)Elemental boron (as a gas) is produced in one industrial process by heating diboron trioxide with magnesium metal, also produc

dlinn [17]

Answer: The unbalanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.

In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and magnesium metal follows:

$B_2O_3(s)+Mg(s)\rightarrow B(g)+MgO(s)$

Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.

Calculate the new volume of 1.23 mL of a gas at 32 C is subjected to drop in temperature of 20 degrees Celsius

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1,15mL = V₂

Explanation:

Based on Charle's law the volume is directely proportional to the absolute temperature in a gas under constant pressure. The equation is:

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

Where V is volume and T absolute temperature of a gas where 1 is initial state and 2, final state.

The V₁ is 1.23mL

T₁ = 32°C + 273.15 = 305.15K

T₂ = T₁ - 20°C = 285.15K

Replacing:

1.23mL*285.15K = V₂*305.15K

katrin [286]

Answer:
A reaction progress curve has three peaks and two valleys between the peaks. This curve describes a reaction mechanism that involves three elementary reactions.

Explanation:
I have drawn the progress curve with three peaks and two valleys. In fact the peaks shows higher energy and valleys show lower energies. So, Let suppose we react A and B. This reaction between A and B results in the formation of C. In this reaction the energies of A and B are less, and during the progress of reaction they cross a transition state of higher energy and forms product C with lower energy which is present at lower valley. This was first reaction. Other two reactions will be followed by conversion of C to D and conversion of D into E.
