Answer:

  • <u><em>Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions, whereas mercury atoms move around while staying close together. </em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>solid </em>state of matter is characterized by rigid crystalline structures, in which <em>atoms </em>can vibrate around a fixed position. That is why <em>solids</em> have definite shape and volume, and cannot flow. This is described in the last statement when it states <em>"Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions"</em>

The <em>liquid </em>state of matter is characterized by the <em>atoms </em>being more separated than in<em> solids.</em> While the <em>atoms </em>in the liquid are not completely free to move, they can slide past the neighboring atoms, which gives them the property to flow. Therefore, the liquids, although they have a defined volume, take the form of the container. This is what the last statement describes as "mercury atoms move while remaining together"

What is the connection between physical properties and physical changes
irakobra [83]

Answer: Physical changes are related to physical properties since some measurements require that changes be made. Melting Point: As solid matter is heated it eventually melts or changes into a liquid state at the melting point. Ice (a solid form of water) melts at 0 oC and changes to the liquid state.

For the reaction: CH3NH2(aq) + H2O(aq) ⇌ CH3NH3 +(aq) + OH- Determine the change in the pH (ΔpH) for the addition of 6.7 M CH3NH
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The change in the pH (ΔpH) is 2,17

Explanation:

The reaction:

CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) ⇌ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻

kb = \frac{[OH^{-}][CH_{3}NH_{3}^+]}{[CH_{3}NH_{2}]} <em>(1)</em>

In equilibrium, a solution of CH₃NH₂ 4,7M produces:

[CH₃NH₂] = 4,7 - x

[CH₃NH₃⁺] = x

[OH⁻] = x

Replacing in (1):

4,38x10^{-4} = \frac{x^2}{4,7-x}

x² + 4,38x10⁻⁴x - 2,0586x10⁻³ = 0

The solutions are:

x = -0,0456 No physical sense. There are not negative concentrations.

x = 0,04515 Real answer.

The concentration of [OH⁻] is 0,04515 M.

As pOH = -log [OH⁻] And pH+pOH = 14. The pH of this solution is:

<em>pH = 12,65</em>

The addition of 6,7M produce this changes in concentrations:

[CH₃NH₂] = 4,656 + x

[CH₃NH₃⁺] = 6,74515 - x

[OH⁻] = 0,04515 - x

Replacing in (1) you will obtain:

x² - 6,7907x + 0,3025 = 0

Solving for x:

x = 6,74586 No physical sense

x = 0,04484 Real answer.

Thus, [OH⁻] = 0,04515 - 0,044842 = 3,08x10⁻⁴M

pOH = 3,51.

<em>pH = 10,49</em>

Thus ΔpH is 12,65 - 10,49 = <em>2,16 ≈ 2,17</em>

I hope it helps!

Choose the answer that best completes the following statement: When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron
boyakko [2]

The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.
