Answer:

a-The dinitrogeno is a mononuclear diatomic formed by two nitrogen atoms united by a covalent union instead the white phosphorus is a common allotrope of the chemical element phosphorus, nowadays it exists as molecules integrated by four muscles in a tetrahedral structure

b-In addition to its offensive capabilities, white phosphorus is also a highly efficient smoke agent, capable of rapid burning and producing instant smoke screens. For this reason, white phosphorous ammunition is common in infantry smoke grenades and grenade launchers, as well as tank, armored vehicle, cannon, and mortar ammunition.

The incandescent particles of white phosphorus produced in the initial explosion can produce deep, extensive and painful second and third degree burns. Phosphorus burns carry a higher mortality than other types of burns due to the absorption of phosphorus in the body through the areas reached, damaging internal organs such as the heart, liver or kidney.

These weapons are particularly dangerous to personnel because white phosphorus burns unless it is deprived of oxygen or until it is completely consumed, in some cases reaching the burn to the bone. In other cases, burns may be limited to areas where the skin is exposed because phosphorous particles do not completely burn through clothing. According to GlobalSecurity.org, quoted by The Guardian, "White phosphorus causes painful chemical burn damage."

Explanation:

Each chemical component presents different presentations in their orbits, and different amounts of electrons, this makes them act in different ways, some when reacting can be lethal and others not, on the other hand it is important to consider the simplicity of these molecules and the consequences they generate , and this only happens by the forces of their unions.

How many grams are in 0.02 moles of beryllium iodide, BeI2
just olya [345]

Answer:Beryllium iodide has a molar mass of 262.821 g mol−1 , which means that 1 mole of beryllium iodide has a mass of 262.821 g . To find the mass of 0.02 moles of beryllium iodide, simply multiply the number of moles by the molar mass in conversion factor form.

A certain solid has a density of 8.0 g/cm3. if 4.0 g of this solid are poured into 4.00 ml of water, which drawing below most cl
Alexandra [31]
Answer is: <span>the volume of water after the solid is added</span> is 4.5 ml.
d(gold) = 8.0 g/cm³; density of gold.
m(gold) = 4 g; mass of gold.
V(gold) = m(gold) ÷ d(gold); volume of gold.
V(gold) = 4 g ÷ 8 g/cm³.
V(gold) = 0.5 cm³ = 0.5 ml.
V(water) = 4.00 ml = 4.00 cm³.
V(flask) = V(gold) + V(water).
V(flask) = 0.5 cm³ + 4 cm³.V = 4.5 cm³.

If the volume and moles of a container are held constant, the temperature of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
noname [10]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Assuming that the gas is ideal

Therefore the gas obeys the ideal gas equation

<h3>Ideal gas equation is </h3><h3>P × V = n × R × T</h3>

where

P is the pressure exerted by the gas

V is the volume occupied by the gas

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas

Here volume of the gas will be the volume of the container

Given the volume of the container and number of moles of the gas are constant

As R will also be constant, the pressure of the gas will be directly proportional to the temperature of the gas

P ∝ T

∴ Pressure will be directly proportional to the temperature

A gas sealed in a drum container occupies 7.70 L at a sizzling 325C degrees. What will the volume be if the drum is quickly chi
grigory [225]

The volume of the drum after chilled quickly is 3.6 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per the Charles Law, for any gas at constant pressure, volume of the gas is in direct proportion with the temperature measured in Kelvin. As the temperature increases, the gas expands and vice versa.

$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2} \\

After chilling the drum, the volume will get reduced and it can be found as,

V2 = $\frac{V1T2}{T1}

     = $\frac{7.7 L \times 282 K}{598 K}

      = 3.6 L

Here the drum is chilled quickly, that is temperature is reduced and so the volume also decreases.
