Answer: a. decrease from left to right in a period and increase down a group.

Explanation:

Atomic radius of an atom is defined as the total distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell of the atom.

As moving from left to right in a period, more and more electrons get added up in the same shell and the attraction between the last electron and nucleus increases, which results in the shrinkage of size of an atom. Thus, decreasing the atomic radii of the atom on moving towards right of the periodic table.

As moving from top to bottom in a group, there is an addition of shell around the nucleus and the outermost shell gets far away from the nucleus and hence, the distance between the nucleus and outermost shell increases. Thus, increasing the atomic radii of the atom.

Franklin was performing an experiment by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. He measured the mass of his reactant
maxonik [38]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u><em>B) an error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

  • <em>A) no error occurred, some of the products are always lost as heat.</em>

<em />

  • <em>B) an error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. </em>

<em />

  • <em>C) an error occurred, the products should weigh more than the reactants. </em>

<em />

  • <em>D) no error occurred, water is not weighed when determining the weight of the products.</em>

<h2>Solution</h2>

The basis to answer this question is the law of conservation of mass.

Any chemical reaction satisfies the law of conservation of mass: mass cannot be either created nor destroyed, so, always, <em>the mass of the reactants equal the mass of the products.</em>

Thus, since he measured the mass of his reactant materials to be 35g and he reported that his products weighed 32g, his data are in clear contradiction of the law of conservation of mass. So, there is an error in his results: <em>the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. </em>

How much H2O is produced when 20000 g of C2H2 burns completely? Answer in units of g.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

H  = 1

C = 12

O = 16

Acetylene, HC≡CH = 2+24 = 26

H2O = 2 + 16 = 18

In XS oxygen, one HC≡CH yields one H2O

26 g HC≡CH  ==> 18 g H2O

2000 g HC≡CH ==> 2000*18/26 g H2O =  1384.6154 g H2O

Variable changed by the scientists what is being tested
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Hope this is helpful to you!

The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist. To insure a fair test, a good experiment has only ONE independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she records the data that they collect.

What do electric forces do​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

An electric force is exerted between any two charged objects. Objects with the same charge, both positive and both negative, will repel each other, and objects with opposite charges, one positive and one negative, will attract each other.
