Answer:

In a metal, individual atoms lose electrons to become positive "ions."

Explanation:

The electrically charged particles are called as the ions. When the atoms lose or can gain electrons these charged particles are formed. When the atoms start losing electron so as to become positive ion are the metals, and the negative ions are formed by the non-metals. A force called electrostatic force acts between the oppositely charged ions which is known as the ionic bond. The metals not exactly lose electrons quickly to become stable, in case of the ionic bond formation they lose electrons.

A rigid vessel contains water at 0.15 MPa (at 25 °C). The vessel is heated to the critical point of water. Calculate the fractio

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.8078 Kg

Explanation:

Pressure of water = 0.15 MPa = 1.5 bar

At critical point of water ,temperature = 647 K=374°C

From the ideal gas equation

P×V= m×R×T

Let us assume volume = 1 m^3

1.5 x 105 x 1 = m x 287 x 647

m= 0.8078 kg

the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.

What term describes a carbon atom that has four different groups bonded to it?

oee [108]

A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.

Non-<span>superimposable:
</span> The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.

Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Examples:
Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.

which factor is most responsible for the fact that water is a liquid rather than a gas at room temperature

frosja888 [35]

The answer is Hydrogyn bonding. It keeps the water molocules bonded together and in a liquid state, without it it'd be in a gashious state.

A standard solution contained 0.8 mg/mL. A student took 2 mL of the standard solution and added 10 mL of water. What is the new/

galben [10]

To get the concentration of the second solution let us use the following formulae

C1V1=C2V2 where C1 is concentration of first solution and V1 is the volume of solution first solution. on the other hand C2 is the concentration of second solution and V2 is the volume of second solution.

therefore

0.8×2=(2+10)×C2
1.6 =12×C2
1.6/12=C2
C2 = 0.1333mg/mL
