Which is larger CA or CA2+ and why?

Gamma rays are often used to kill microorganisms in food, in an attempt to make the food safer. Some people contend that this ir

kumpel [21]

While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.

Are all molecules of a particular substance alike?

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, all molecules of a particular substance are similar or alike if the substance has similar shape and structure. Molecule is made up of two or more atoms having no charge on them and the atoms present in it make bonds with each other. For example, water is made of similar molecules i. e. two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom bonded together with a covalent bond.

How many moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) are needed to react completely with 6.2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO3)? 2AgNO3 + CaC

nexus9112 [7]

Here we have to choose the right option which tells the moles of CaCl₂ will react with 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ in the reaction

2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂→ 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

6.2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) will react with B. 3.1 moles of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).

From the reaction: 2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂→ 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

Thus 2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts with 1 mole of CaCl₂

Henceforth, 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts with $\frac{6.2}{2}$ = 3.1 moles of CaCl₂.

1 mole of CaCl₂ reacts with 2 moles of AgNO₃. Thus-

A. 2.2 moles of CaCl₂ will react with 2.2×2 = 4.4 moles of AgNO₃.

C. 6.2 moles of CaCl₂ will reacts with 6.2×2 = 12.4 moles of AgNO₃.

D. 12.4 moles of CaCl₂ will reacts with 12.4 × 2 = 24.8 moles of AgNO₃

Thus the right answer is 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react with 3.1 moles of CaCl₂.

J. Explain how an atom's valence electron configuration determines its place on the periodic table.

Darya [45]

Answer:

Elements having same valence electrons are placed in same group.

Explanation:

First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:

1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers

The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .

Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.

Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)

Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.

So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.

All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell

A 0.216 g sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, has a volume of 507 mL and a pressure of 470 mmHg. What is the temperature of the gas i

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin

Explanation:

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

P= 470 mmHg
V= 570 mL= 0.570 L
n= 0.216 g= 0.0049 moles (being the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mole)

R= 62.36367 $\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}$

T=?

Replacing:

470 mmHg*0.570 L= 0.0049 moles* 62.36367 $\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}$ *T

Solving:

$T=\frac{470 mmHg*0.570 L}{0.0049 moles* 62.36367\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} }$

T= 876.69 K

The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin
