Why is chlorine a nonmetal

Chemistry
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
3 0
Well on the periodic table Cl is in the section saying it is a non metal. In addition, it is nonmetls because it is usually a gas while metals are not. Finally, it is a non metal because it usually gains electrons instead of losing them during a reaction unlike metals.

What is mass write a five sentence paragraph
zepelin [54]
Mass is a coherent, typical large body of matter with no definite shape. Another way to describe matter is a very heavy or large object.Matter can also be described with length. This is how i know matter is a very large length or weight. (Hope this helped) :)

What is the mass number of an alpha particle?<br> (1) 1 (3) 0<br> (2) 2 (4) 4
Lesechka [4]
Your answer is (4) 4, because the alpha particle is a helium nucleus (either an ion or an ejected particle from alpha decay), and it has a mass number of 4, being consisted of four nucleons, (2 protons and 2 neutrons).

A compound is composed of only C, H, and O. The combustion of a .519-g sample of the compound yields 1.24 g of CO_2 and .255 g o
Kay [80]

Answer:

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of compound = 0.519 g

Mass of CO₂ = 1.24 g

Mass of H₂O = 0.255 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

%age of C,H,O

C = 1.24 g/0.519 × 12/44 ×100 = 65.5%

H = 0.255 g/0.519 × 2.016/18 ×100 =  5.6%

O = 100 - (65.5+5.6)

O = 28.9%

Number of gram atoms of H = 5.6 / 1.01 = 5.5

Number of gram atoms of O =  28.9 / 16 = 1.81

Number of gram atoms of C = 65.5 / 12 = 5.5

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H              :         O

          5.5/1.81              :       5.5/1.81     :       1.81/1.81

            3                      :        3              :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is valuable to many industries. Low percent yields can result in the loss of large amou
aev [14]

Using accurate measurements, using pure chemicals and performing the reaction under the most ideal conditions is important to get a valuable percent yield.

<h3>How we calculate the percent yield?</h3>

Percent yield of any chemical reaction is define as the ratios of the actual yield to the theoretical yield of the product and multiply by the 100.

To get the high percent yield or actual yield of any reaction, we have to perform the reaction under ideal condition because if we not use the standard condition then we get the low rate of reaction. Reactants should be present in the pure form as impurity make unwanted products and reduce the productivity of main product and accurate amount of reactants also important for the spontaneous reaction.

Hence, options (a), (b) & (c) are correct.
