Answer:

when they have eight valence electrons.

Explanation:

When atoms do not have a full valence shell, the atoms are more likely to react with other and vice versa.

Ne, Ar, and Kr have which properties in common? Group of answer choices

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Ne, Ar, and Kr are gases at STP, unreactive, and are generally monatomic.

Explanation:

they are unreactive and monoatomic and thats why have a very low boiling point.

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

Answer:

Scientists believe that comets are the debris left from the solar nebula which condensed to form the Sun and planets in our solar system. Most comets are thought to originate in a huge cloud called the Oort Cloud. ... Comets follow a regular orbit around the Sun.

A chemist wants to make 6.5 L of a .350M CaCl2 solution. What mass of CaCl2(in g) should the chemist use?

kotykmax [81]

First M stands for Molarity which is (moles of solute) / (Liters of solution). we also know that moles = (mass) / (molar mass). so we can form some equations here. We know:
Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / Liters (L)
moles (mol) = (mass) / (molar mass)

we can substitute the (mass) / (molar mass) for (moles) and get:
M = [(mass) / (molar mass)] / Liters

we can now isolate mass and get
M * Liters * molar mass = mass

now we need to find the molar mass of CaCl2 which is 110.98 g/mol

plug the values in and get
.350M * 6.5L * 110.98 g/mol = mass

mass = 252.4795g however the 6.5L has only 2 sig figs so i would say

mass CaCl2 = 2.5 * 10 ^2 g
