Answer:

$x=-5$

Explanation:

we have

$4+2(x-4)=-7(x+7)$

Solve for x

That means----> Isolate the variable x

Applying the distributive property both sides

$4+2(x)+2(-4)=-7(x)-7(7)$

Remember that

$(+1)(-1)=-1$

$4+2x-8=-7x-49$

Combine like terms left side

$2x-4=-7x-49$

Adds 7x both sides

$2x-4+7x=-7x-49+7x$

$9x-4=-49$

Adds 4 both sides

$9x-4+4=-49+4$

$9x=-45$

Divide by 9 both sides

$x=-5$

Explanation:

Relation between pressure, latent heat of fusion, and change in volume is as follows.

$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T \times \Delta V}$

Also, $\frac{L}{T} = \Delta S^{fusion}_{m}$

where, $\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}$ is the difference in specific volumes.

Hence, $\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{\Delta S^{fusion}_{m}}{\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}}$

As, $\Delta S^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{L}{T} = \frac{6010}{273.15}$ = 22.0 J/mol K

And, $\Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}$ ...... (1)

where, $d_{H_{2}O}$ = density of water

$d_{ice}$ = density of ice

M = molar mass of water = $18.02 \times 10^{-3} kg$

Therefore, using formula in equation (1) we will calculate the volume of fusion as follows.

$\Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}$

= $\frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{997} - \frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{920}$

= $-1.51 \times 10^{-6}$

Therefore, calculate the required pressure as follows.

$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{22}{-1.51 \times 10^{-6}}$

= $1.45 \times 10^{7} Pa/K$

or, = 145 bar/K

Hence, for change of 1 degree pressure the decrease is 145 bar and for 4.7 degree change dP = $145 \times 4.7 bar$

= 681.5 bar

Thus, we can conclude that pressure should be increased by 681.5 bar to cause 4.7 degree change in melting point.

What happens to the number of valence electrons as you move up a group

Advocard [28]

Ionization Energy: DOWN a Group: Ionization energy DECREASES as you go DOWN a Group because the farther the valence electrons are from the nucleus (pulling power of the protons) the less energy it costs another atom to steal them

Choose all that apply. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7. Its atomic mass is 14. Nitrogen has

Goshia [24]

The atomic number of calculated as number of protons + number of neutrons. The number of protons are the same as atomic number. This implies that Nitrogen has seven protons. To get the the number of neutron we minus atomic mass from number of protons
that is 14-7=7 neutrons
