Which element does not have similar chemical characteristics as phosphorus (P)?

1 answer:

3 0

Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.

That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).

A LA TEMPERATURA DE 35°C, UNA MUESTRA DE DIOXIDO DE CARBONO OCUPA UN VOLUMEN DE 350 ML. ¿Qué CAMBIO DE VOLUMEN SE PRODUCIRA SI L

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

New volume = 150 mL

Explanation:

Initial temperature, T₁ = 35°C

Initial volume, V₁ = 350 mL

We need to find the change in volume when the temperature drops to 15°C.

The relation between the temperature and the volume is given by Charle's law. Let new volume is V₂. It can be given by :

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{350\times 15}{35}\\\\V_2=150\ mL$

So, the new volume is 150 mL.

The hydrogen ion concentration is 1 × 10-7. What is the ph of this solution?

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 7

Explanation:

The pH is a measure of the acidity of the solutions. It is defined as the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).

pH = - log [H⁺]

The hydrogen ion concentration of this solution is 1 × 10⁻⁷ M.

Hence:

pH = - log (1 × 10⁻⁷) = - (-7) = 7

This pH corresponds to a neutral solution (neither acid nor alkaline).

You should remember this relation bwtween pH and acidity/alkaliinity:

Low pH (0.0 or close) corresponds to strong acids
HIgh pH (14.0 or close) corresponds to strong bases
Acids have pH between 0.0 and 7.0
Bases have pH between 7.0 and 14.0

Which statement accurately describes the illustration?

jasenka [17]

I'm not sure but I think it is A. image one has the most spread out particles like a gas, and b has closer together particles like a liquid or solid. since there are no choices that say A=gass and B=solid, so I am guessing it is answer A.
