<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

(C) KBr

<h3>EXPLANATION:</h3>

An ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal. K is a metal while bromine is a nonmetal. Thus K transfers its one electron to bromine in order to form an ionic compound.

An ionic compound is composed of ions, a positive ion i.e. a cation and a negative ion i.e. an anion. The bond formed between the two elements is an ionic bond which is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from an electropositive element to the electronegative element. The electropositive element loses its electron and gains a positive charge whereas the electronegative atom accepts that electron and gains a negative charge.

In the given examples:

KBr is made up of ions

Potassium being electropositive becomes positively charged K+

Bromine is electronegative and becomes negatively charged Br-

KBr = K⁺Br⁻

Describe the concept of using radioactive elements to establish an age for a fossil. Be sure to include how the parent and daugh
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The nuclear decay of radioactive elements is a process that is a useful tool for determining the absolute age of fossils and rocks. It is used as a clock, in which daughter elements or isotopes converted from parent isotopes by decaying at a particular time.

Radioactive decay rates are constant and do not change over time. It is measured in half-life. A half-life is a time it takes half of a parent isotope to decay and converted into a stable daughter isotope. How many parent isotopes and daughter isotopes present in the fossil or their abundance can help in determining the age of fossil or rock.

Suppose you used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate your vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M. What effect does the concentration of base added ha
laiz [17]

Answer: the reliability will be worse

Explanation:

Suppose we used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate our vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M.

Now by using 0.5M instead of 0.1M we are increasing the concentration of NaOH,

We know that  the moles used = Volume x concnetration.

so for the same no of moles, if the concentration increases, the volume decreases.

Hence it will consume less NaOH.

now Since the volume decreases, the titration volume of less number will increase the % error.

Therefore the reliability will be worse.

A 45-g aluminium spoon(specific heat 0.80 / J/gdegree Celsius) at 24 degree celsius is placed in 180 ml(180 grams) of coffee at
Vlad [161]

Explanation:

a) The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

Also,

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]    ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of aluminium = 45 g

m_2 = mass of coffee = 180 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = temperature of aluminium = 24^oC

T_2 = temperature of coffee = 85^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.80J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of coffee= 4.186 J/g^oC

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

45 g\times 0.80J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-24^oC)=-[180 g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-83^oC)]

T_{final}=80.30^oC

80.30 °C is the final temperature.

b) Energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.Whenever two bodies with different energies and temperature come in contact. And the resulting temperature of both bodies will less then the body with high temperature and will be more then the body with lower temperature.

So, is our final temperature of both aluminium and coffee that is 80°C less than initial temperature of coffee and more than the initial temperature of the aluminum.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.
