Diffusion is a general term referring to the net movement of atoms and molecules along a concentration gradient, from an area of

________ concentration to an area of _______ concentration.
Chemistry

Answer:

Higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

Explanation:

When you open a perfume bottle at a corner of a room, after a while, its fragrance can be perceived across a distance at the other end of the room. This is because, molecules of the compound in the fragrance have moved from the area of higher concentration in the perfume bottle, across a concentration gradient to a region of lower concentration at the other end of the room. This is diffusion.

Janel’s class studied properties of matter and how matter can change. Janel decided she would do an experiment mixing baking sod
mafiozo [28]

1. First, identify the physical state of matter of baking soda. Describe another property of baking soda.  

<u>Baking soda is composed of sodium bicarbonate</u> which is also named sodium hydrogen carbonate, and it is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder. It is also a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na⁺) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO₃⁻).  

<u>Baking soda is alkaline with a pKa of 10.329.</u> This reagent is used in baking as a leavening agent because when it reacts with acid, carbon dioxide is released causing expansion of the batter.  

2. Next, identify the physical state of matter of vinegar. Describe another property of vinegar.  

<u>Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid which is a colourless acid liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH and a pKa of 4.756.</u> <u>Vinegar typically contains 5–20% by volume of acetic acid. </u>Usually the acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol or sugars by acetic acid bacteria. Vinegar also contains numerous flavonoids, phenolic acids, and aldehydes.  

<u>Vinegar has a sour taste and a pungent smell because of the acetic acid.</u> This acid determines vinegar’s chemical properties. The pH of vinegar is typically in the range of 2 to 3.5, depending on the concentration of acetic acid, and it has of approximately 0.96 grams per milliliter, depending on its acidity.

3. Then, explain what Janel should see when she mixes the baking soda and vinegar.

<u>When Janel mixes the baking soda with vinegar she will observe the formation of many bubbles in the mixture due to the evolution of carbon dioxide.</u> When these ingredients are mixed, the sodium bicarbonate reacts with the acetic acid to produce carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate according to the following reaction.

NaHCO₃(s) + CH₃COOH(l) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) + CH₃COONa (aq)

The carbon dioxide escapes the solution as bubbles. The bubbles are heavier than air, so the carbon dioxide collects at the surface of the container or overflows it.

4. Describe the states of matter of the new materials that are formed.  

After the reaction between baking soda and vinegar, <u>a transparent liquid formed by water and aqueous sodium acetate will be obtained</u>, in addition to the evolution of <u>carbon dioxide, which is a colorless gas at room temperature.</u> However, if an excess of baking soda is added initially, a solid corresponding to the sodium bicarbonate will be observed, which did not react with the acetic acid present in the vinegar.

5. Explain how Janel can be certain a change has occurred.

Janel could make the reaction in a closed container. To make sure that the reaction occurred, Janel could unclog this container and immediately place a phosphor in the hole in it. If carbon dioxide was produced, this gas will extinguish the phosphor flame. Because CO₂ is heavier than air, it displaces it. This starves a fire of the oxygen needed for combustion.

Being that a dilute sodium acetate solution remains after the reaction, Janel could also boiled off this solution to obtained a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate. This will form a "hot ice" that will spontaneously crystallize, releasing heat and forming a solid that resembles water ice.

Three sections of the periodic table are labeled A, B, and C in the image below.
OLga [1]

Answer:

Choice number two: this element is malleable and ductile.

Explanation:

A modern periodic table can be split into three sections:

(from left to right)

  • Metals,
  • Metalloids, and
  • Nonmetals.

Based on the descriptions, section A likely refers to the metals. Section B likely refers to metalloids. Section C likely refers to nonmetals.

Metals are malleable and ductile. They are good conductors of electricity.

The reason is that in a metal, the valence electrons do not belong to some specific atom. Rather, the metal cations share these electrons. The electrons are free to move around the metal and conduct electricity.

Ionic compounds like table salt are brittle. The reason is that when an ionic compound is deshaped, ions of the same charge come directly into contact with each other. That creates repulsion and cracks the crystal. In contrast, the metal cations in a metal won't come into contact with each other. Electrons would rapidly fill the gap between these cations, so the metal won't crack. That's why unlike ionic compounds, metals are malleable and ductile.

The melting points of metals can vary significantly. Indeed, the mercury (\rm Hg, a metal) is a liquid at room temperature. In contrast, tungsten (\rm W, also a metal) won't melt until it is heated to over \rm 3000\, ^\circ C.

Why is there an attraction between the two ions in this chemical bond?
ladessa [460]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>A metallic bond is a force of attraction between charged metal ions and the electrons that are in the delocalized bond, which covers the assembly of ions. A covalent bond is the force of attraction between the nuclei of atoms, and the electrons shared between them. </u>

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u> A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond can be generated by electrostatic attraction between charged ions (for example, ionic bonds) or by electron sharing (for example, covalent bonds). </u>

I hope this helps you :)
