MakcuM [25]3 years ago

Oxygen had been produced by several chemists prior to its discovery in 1774, but they failed to recognize it as a distinct element. Joseph Priestley and Carl Wilhelm Scheele both independently discovered oxygen, but Priestly is usually given credit for the discovery. They were both able to produce oxygen by heating mercuric oxide (HgO). Priestley called the gas produced in his experiments 'dephlogisticated air' and Scheele called his 'fire air'. The name oxygen was created by Antoine Lavoisier who incorrectly believed that oxygen was necessary to form all acids.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Sparking can be caused by defective cooktop elements, loose connectors, a wire with frayed insulation or a broken wire arcing over to the appliance metal frame, says Appliance Repair. If the cause of the sparking is a broken wire or a wire with frayed insulation, do not attempt to splice the wire; you must replace it. Repair Clinic suggests checking the spark ignition switches, as they might be defective and in need of replacing.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) has a higher boiling point than bromine (Br2) partly because iodine monochloride is a(n)
tekilochka [14]

Answer: polar molecule.

Explanation:

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. The boiling point is dependent on the type of forces present.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativities of iodine and chlorine. Thus the molecules are bonded by strong dipole dipole forces. Thus a higher temperature is needed to generate enough vapor pressure.

Bromine (Br_2) is a non polar molecule as there is no electronegativity difference between two bromine atoms. The molecules are bonded by weak vanderwaal forces and thus has low boiling point.

Before we can use this equation for
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

2C₂H₆ +  [7]O₂     →      [4]CO₂ + [6]H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₂H₆ +  O₂     →      CO₂ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

2C₂H₆ +  7O₂     →      4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Step 1:

2C₂H₆ +  O₂     →      CO₂ + H₂O

Left hand side                      Right hand side

C = 4                                     C = 1

H = 12                                    H = 2

O = 2                                     O = 3

Step 2:

2C₂H₆ +  O₂     →      4CO₂ + H₂O

Left hand side                      Right hand side

C = 4                                     C =  4

H = 12                                    H = 2

O = 2                                     O = 9

Step 3:

2C₂H₆ +  O₂     →      4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Left hand side                      Right hand side

C = 4                                     C =  4

H = 12                                    H = 12

O = 2                                     O = 14

Step 4:

2C₂H₆ +  7O₂     →      4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Left hand side                      Right hand side

C = 4                                     C =  4

H = 12                                    H = 12

O = 14                                     O = 14
