What did early chemists mean by a "caloric"??

Chemistry

During the early period of chemistry, the word caloric would refer to as a self-repellant fluid. It can be proved by the caloric theory. The caloric theory is an obsolete scientific theory that heat consists of a self-repellent fluid called caloric that flows from hotter bodies to colder bodies.

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 <u>same group.</u>

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 student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 mL of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the te
Grace [21]

Answer:

The calorimeter constant is  = 447 J/°C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed or released (Q) by water can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

The water that is initially in the calorimeter (w₁) absorbs heat while the water that is added (w₂) later releases heat. The calorimeter also absorbs heat.

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Q) can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = C × ΔT

where,

C is the calorimeter constant

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so 50.0 mL = 50.0 g. The sum of the heat absorbed and the heat released is equal to zero (conservation of energy).

Qabs + Qrel = 0

Qabs = - Qrel

Qcal + Qw₁ = - Qw₂

Qcal = - (Qw₂ + Qw₁)

Ccal . ΔTcal = - (cw . mw₁ . ΔTw₁ + cw . mw₂ . ΔTw₂)

Ccal . (30.31°C - 22.6°C) = - [(4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 22.6°C) +  (4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 54.5°C)]

Ccal  = 447 J/°C

The following equation represents the type of reaction called
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻    →    Mn⁴⁺

Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.

Examples:

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Osmotic pressure ____.a. occurs only in ionic solutions.b. is lower with 1 M NaCl than 1 M sucrose.c. is created using detergent
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

d. is the hydrostatic pressure produced on the surface of a semi-permeable membrane by osmosis.    

Explanation:

Osmosis -

It is the flow of the molecules of solvent from a region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration via a semipermeable membrane , is known as osmosis.

Osmotic pressure -

It refers to the minimum amount of pressure , which is required to be applied to the solution in order to avoid the flow of pure solvent via the semipermeable membrane , is referred to as osmotic pressure.

Or in simple terms ,

Osmotic pressure is the pressure applied to resists the process of osmosis.

Hence ,

From the given options in the question,

The correct option regarding osmotic pressure is d.
