Answer:

Option D = No, when elements combine to form a new material, they have properties unique to the new materials.

Explanation:

When sodium contact with water it loses its one electron and thus gain positive charge. When there are more sodium atoms present and many atoms do this thus more positive ions are produced and these positive ions repeal each other at high speed and explosion occur.

But when it form compound with other material, it will not showed this behavior.

Example:

Consider the sodium chloride, when it dissolve in water sodium not showed explosion. In sodium chloride sodium already gives its electron to the chlorine and have stable electronic configuration. The sodium present in cationic form. When it dissolve, partial positive charge of water surrounds the Cl⁻ and partial negative charge of water surrounds the Na⁺ ion, ans sodium chloride gets dissolve into water without explosion.

Answer:

D.No, when elements combine to form a new material, they have properties unique to the new material

Explanation:

Sodium(Na) and all other group one element are usually very reactive when it get combine with an elements or compounds . The reactive nature is due to their ability to easily give out it single outer electron to an available negative ion.

compounds for example sodium chloride(Nacl), sodium tetraoxosulphate(vi)(Na2So4), having a sodium content have properties unique to the new compound . Sodium chloride as a compound which has a different texture, color and shape from sodium is due to it combined element(sodium and chlorine) which makes up it constituents.

Is it possible to change the strength of an acid? Explain how you would do this.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Reducing or increasing the amount of H+ ions / hydronium (H3O+) ions

Explanation:

To reduce the pH (reducing the strength of the acid) can be done by adding a base (including a conjugate base such as bicarbonate ion) which will absorb the H+ ions either through adsorption or reaction.

Adding more H+ decreases the pH of the acid making it stronger. This can be done by adding HCL that will dissociate and increase the H+ ions.

Which body system provides protection of the brain and the spinal cord?

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The bones of the skull and spinal column

Explanation:

The central nervous system is better protected than any other system or organ in the body. Its main line of defense is the bones of the skull and spinal column, which create a hard physical barrier to injury.

What volumes of 0.200 M HCOOH and 2.00 M NaOH would make 500. mL of a buffer with the same pH as a buffer made from 475 mL of 0.

Hitman42 [59]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

[HCOOH] = 0.2 M, [NaOH] = 2.0 M,

V = 500 ml, [Benzoic acid] = 0.2 M

First, we will calculate the number of moles of benzoic acid as follows.

No. of moles of benzoic acid = Molarity × Volume

= $2 \times 0.475$

= 0.095 mol

And, moles of NaOH present in the solution will be as follows.

No. of moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume

= $2 \times 0.025$

= 0.05 mol

Hence, the ICE table for the chemical equation will be as follows.

$C_{6}H_{5}COOH + NaOH \rightarrow C_{6}H_{5}COONa + H_{2}O$

Initial: 0.095 0.05 0 0

Equlbm: (0.095 - 0.05) 0 0.05

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

= $4.2 + log \frac{0.05}{0.045}$

= 4.245

For,

$HCOOH + NaOH \rightarrow HCOONa + H_{2}O$

Initial: 0.2x 2(0.5 - x) 0

Equlbm: 0.2x - 2(0.5 - x) 0 2(0.5 - x)

As,

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

4.245 = 3.75 + $log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

$log \frac{Base}{Acid}$ = 0.5

$\frac{Base}{Acid}$ = 3.162

Now,

$\frac{2(0.5 - x)}{0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)}$ = 3.162

x = 0.464 L

Volume of NaOH = (0.5 - 0.464) L

= 0.036 L

= 36 ml (as 1 L = 1000 mL)

And, volume of formic acid is 464 mL.

Consider a neutrally charged atom that has an atomic mass number of 80, which includes 35 neutrons. how many electrons does this

ivanzaharov [21]

Atomic mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. Subtract 80-35=45 is the number of protons. Because the atom is neutrally charged, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons, so there are 45 electrons.

If you collect 1.75 L of hydrogen gas during a lab experiment when the room temperature is 23oC and the barometric pressure is 1

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$n=0.0747mol$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since we can consider hydrogen gas as an ideal gas, we check the volume-pressure-temperature-mole relationship by using the ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

Whereas we are asked to compute the moles given the temperature in Kelvins, thr pressure in atm and volume in L as shown below:

$n=\frac{105kPa*\frac{0.009869atm}{1kPa}*1.75L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(23+273.15)K} \\\\n=0.0747mol$

Best regards.
