Clay is used in pottery for its ability to be manipulated by the bare hands of humans, and it dries very quickly. Since you dont need a lot of equipment, it was a high paying job back in the old times. An advantage of clay that it can keep the water cool for a long time  as long as you cover the container.

Another advantage is that clay doesnt react with the liquids or food inside when heat is applied ( Unlike plastic)

Rank the effective nuclear charge Z* experienced by a valence electron in each of these atoms:
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The atoms are ranked in decreasing order as follows:

Fluorine ---4

Carbon ----3

Boron ------2

Beryllium --1

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is defined as the difference between the actual nuclear charge (the atomic number, Z) and the shielding constant (S).

It is calculated by finding the atomic number and electronic configuration, attributing a shielding value to each electron, adding all the shielding values and using the formula:

                 Z eff = Z - S

Effective nuclear charges:

An atom of carbon: 3.25

An atom of fluorine: 5.20

An atom of beryllium: 1.95

An atom of boron: 2.60

How many moles of H2O are produced from 6.23g of C2H6 in the following reaction? 2C2H6+7O2 -> 4CO2+6H2O
sweet-ann [11.9K]

C2H6 (g) + O2 (g). --> CO2(g)+H2O (g)

2C2H6 (g) + 7O2 (g). --> 4CO2(g)+6H2O (g)

(8.45 x 10^23)/(6.022x10^23) = 1.403 moles H2O

1.403 moles H2O x (4molCO2/6molH2O)= .935 moles CO2

.935 moles CO2 x (6.022 x10^23)= 5.63 x 10^23 molecules CO2

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation In chemistry is the gain in oxygen, loss of hydrogen and loss of electrons. Oxidation occur when an element with gain oxygen, loss hydrogen or loss electrons, which means the element is oxidized. Compared to reduction which is loss ofoxygen, gain of hydrogen and gain of electrons.

From the the question , Ag( silver) is undergoing oxidation.
