Answer:

The ability to conduct electricity in the solid state is a characteristic of metallic bonding. This characteristic is best explained by the presence of cations

Explanation:

First of all we should know what are the valence electrons. These are the ones that are  involved in the formation of chemical bonds  (for representative elements, blocks s and p)

A cation is an atom which has lost an electron (+ charge).

The metalic atoms lose all the valence electrons, as these atoms remain charged, that is why they are capable of conducting electricity.

For example:

K (s) →  K⁺  +  1e⁻

In the opposite side, the anions are formed when the non metallic elements win electrons to complete the octet rule.

Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.

Find the percent composition for SF6<br> S =? %<br> F =? %
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

S = 21.92 %

F = 78.08 %

Explanation:

To find the percent composition of each element in SF6, we must find the molar mass of SF6 first.

Molar mass of SF6 = 32 + 19(6)

= 32 + 114

= 146g/mol

mass of Sulphur (S) in SF6 = 32g

mass of Fluorine (F) in SF6 = 114g

Percent composition = mass of element/molar mass of compound × 100

- % composition of S = 32/146 × 100 = 21.92%.

- % composition of F = 114/146 × 100 = 78.08%.

How much heat energy is needed to heat 300g of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius
elixir [45]

Answer:

There is 50.2 kJ heat need to heat 300 gram of water from 10° to 50°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

mass of water = 300 grams

initial temperature = 10°C

final temperature = 50°C

Temperature rise = 50 °C - 10 °C = 40 °C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g °C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the heat

Q = m*c*ΔT

Q = 300 grams * 4.184 J/g °C * (50°C - 10 °C)

Q = 50208 Joule = 50.2 kJ

There is 50.2 kJ heat need to heat 300 gram of water from 10° to 50°C

16.0 grams of molecular oxygen gas is equal to
IceJOKER [234]

One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.

As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.

To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:

         No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)-----  eq 1)

As we know:

                        The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule

Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.

Putting the values in above formula:

                                                    = 16/32  

                                                     = 0.5 moles

Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1

                                No. of molecules = 0.5  x 6.02 * 10^23

                                   =3.01 x 10^23 molecules

or                 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules

This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.

Hope it helps!

Ammonium perchlorate NH4ClO4 is a powerful solid rocket fuel, used in the Space Shuttle boosters. It decomposes into nitrogen N2
patriot [66]

Answer: 0.055 moles of O_2 are produced by the reaction of 0.055 mol of ammonium perchlorate.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction for decomposition of ammonium perchlorate is:

2NH_4ClO_4\rightarrow N_2+Cl_2+2O_2+4H_2O  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of NH_4ClO_4 produce = 2 moles of O_2

Thus 0.055 moles of NH_4ClO_4 will produce =\frac{2}{2}\times 0.055=0.055moles of O_2

Thus 0.055 moles of O_2 are produced by the reaction of 0.055mol of ammonium perchlorate.
