n atom “likes” to obtain a full outer shell. The fourth shell (in the atoms that we are studying today) can hold a maximum of 8

electrons. Think: Energetically, would the atom above “prefer” to give away its valence electrons or borrow some from another atom in order to fill its outer shell? Explain your reasoning

It depends on how many electrons are already in the outer shell.

If it is a large amount (if it is almost to the maximum), then it will want to borrow from another atom.

But if it is close to empty then it will want to give away so it will go back to the inner ring with will be full.

Hope this helps, good luck!

What is one of the BEST practices officers should use when securing a crime scene?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The best practices officers should use when securing a crime scene is option D

D. They should secure a larger area than the actual crime scene

Explanation:

Officers should secure the scene by limiting access to the scene and movement within the scene

Three layers of secure perimeter should be used by officers to secure a crime scene, with the smallest inside perimeter being the actual crime scene

Next to the crime scene, is an inner perimeter which is the designated meeting point/command post

The outer perimeter, which is the third outer layer is to keep onlookers, passerby, and nonessential personnel at safety and out of the actual crime scene.

A 2.1−mL volume of seawater contains about 4.0 × 10−10 g of gold. The total volume of ocean water is about 1.5 × 1021 L. Calcula
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.

Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,

(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021

= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.

So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be

(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)

= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.

1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is

20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)

= $5,840,000,000,000,000

What is the change in boiling point for a 0.615m solution of Mgl2 in water?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer :  The change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta T_b=i\times K_f\times m

where,

\Delta T_b = change in boiling point = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 3 (for MgI₂ electrolyte)

K_f = boiling point constant for water = 0.51^oC/m

m = molality  = 0.615 m

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\Delta T_b=3\times (0.51^oC/m)\times 0.615m

\Delta T_b=0.94^oC

Therefore, the change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

A sample of propane (C3H8) has a mass of 0. 47 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1. 350 kg and a
Nady [450]

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.

The specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The specific heat has been expressed as:

q=mc\Delta T

<h3 /><h3>Computation for the heat absorbed</h3>

The iron and calorimeter are in side the closed system. Thus, the energy released by the sample, has been equivalent to the energy absorbed by the calorimeter.

q_{released}=q_{absorbed}\\&#10;q_{released}=m_{calorimeter}\;c_{calorimeter}\;\Delta T

The given mass of calorimeter has been, m_{calorimeter}=1350\;\rm g

The specific heat of the calorimeter has been, c_{calorimeter}=5.82\;\rm J/g^\circ C

The change in temperature of the calorimeter has been, \Delta T=2.87^\circ \rm C

Substituting the values for heat released:

q_{released}= 1350\;\text g\;\times\;5.82\;\text J/\text g^\circ \text C\;\times\;2.87^\circ \text C\\&#10;q_{released}=22,549.5\;\text J\\&#10;q_{released}}=22.54\;\rm kJ

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.
