Answer:

Diamond is pure carbon, C

Zircona is zirconium oxide, $ZrO_{2}$

Explanation:

Chemical symbols are used to distinguish one atom (or molecule) from the other.

Diamond is composed of pure carbon (C) where each C atom is bonded to four other C atoms forming a repeating network of tetrahedrally linked C atoms. Therefore, the chemical symbol of diamond is C.

If the chemical symbol of zircona were also 'C' then it would prove that both are identical. However, zircona is essentially zirconium oxide which has a chemical formula, $ZrO_{2}$ . Therefore, the different symbols suggest that the two are not identical.

One compound can be differentiate from other by its composition although both look same. The diamond has the chemical formula of carbon (c) as it is a repeating unit of carbon which has shining features. On the other hand zirconia is zirconium dioxide (Zr $O_{2}$ . When it is crystallized it becomes shiny as like diamond. However the look of the two are meanwhile similar the composition is totally different as well the molar mass.

How much work is done if an object moves 4.5 m in has 12 Newtons of force on it

Cloud [144]

The formula of work is Work (Joules)=Force (Newtons) · distance in the direction of the force (meters), therefore its just a matter of replacing factors.

Work done = 12 · 4.5= 54 joules

Take a cup of water, add sugar, and stir. if the resulting solution contains sugar crystals that do not dissolve, the solution i

Strike441 [17]

When a solvent has as much of the dilute dissolved in it as possible, then it is saturated.

If you were to heat the water, its capacity would increase and would then be super-saturated because it has more dissolved in it than possible as room temp.

Since there is no heating being done, the water is just saturated.

Hope that helps!

What is the freezing point of a solution of 498mL of water (solute) dissolved in 2.50 L of ethanol (solvent), C2H5OH? The densit

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution is -142.4°C

Explanation:

This excersise is about colligative properties, in this case freezing point depression,

ΔT = Kf . m . i

Where ΔT = Freezing T° of solvent - Freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant

m = mol/kg (molality)

i = Number of ions dissolved.

Water is not ionic, so i = 1

Let's find out m.

We determine mass of water, by density

498ml . 1 g/mL = 498 g

We convert the mass of water to moles → 498 g . 1mol/18g = 27.6 moles

We determine mass of solvent by density

2500 mL . 0.789 g/mL = 1972.5 g

Notice, we had to convert L to mL to cancel units.

1 cm³ = 1 mL

We convert the mass from g to kg → 1972.5 g . 1kg /1000g = 1.97kg

We determine m = mol/kg → 27.6mol / 1.97kg = 13.9 m

Kf for ethanol is: 1.99 °C/m

Freezing T° for ethanol is: -114.6°C

We replace at formula: - 114.6°C - Freezing T° solution = 1.99 °C/m . 13.9 m . 1

- 114.6°C - Freezing T° solution = 27.8 °C

- Freezing T° solution = 27.8°C + 114.6°C

Freezing T° Solution = - 142.4 °C

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

andreev551 [17]

Common based on their location in Periodic Table;

Potassium has an atomic number 19. Its electronic configuration is as follow;

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s¹

And Krypton has an atomic number of 36. Its electronic configuration is as follow;

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶

It is concluded that both Potassium and Krypton has their valence electrons in 4rth shell or they have same Principle Quantum Number.

Difference based on their location in Periodic Table;

As observed in electronic configuration Potassium has one valence electron in its valence shell (i.e. 4s¹) while, Krypton has eight valence electrons in its valence shell (i.e. 4s², 4p⁶). Therefore, they are different in the number of valence electrons.
