MaRussiya [10]3 years ago

Explanation:

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides while they react with water to form alkaline solutions. Also, acidic oxides are oxides of nonmetals and they react with water to form acidic solutions.

Trends on the period table shows the variation of metallic character as you move across and down the periodic table. Metallic character of a element decreases across the period on the periodic table from left to right because atoms readily accept electrons in their outermost shell to form stable configurations. Metallic character increases as you move down the group in the periodic table and this is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases (more outer shells are added), where there is decreasing attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons.

So down the group, the acidity of oxide reaction with water decreases because the oxides are more basic down the group while across the period, the acidity of oxide increases because acidic oxides are formed as we move across the period.

Choose the compound responsible for the ir spectrum shown.
AVprozaik [17]

The right answer is the first molecule (3-methyl-butan-2-one).

There are many bands around 2900-3000 cm-1 proving the presence de C-H bound.

There an intense band in 1700 cm-1 proving the presence of C=O.

There's no band proving the presence of aromatic structure, C=C bond nor C-N bond.

Briefly explain why an unbalanced chemical equation cannot fully describe a reaction?
zubka84 [21]

From the conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed. So ponder it this way, for example I put one piece of toast in a toaster, but when it is done I had two pieces, that makes no sense right? Same thing with a chemical reaction but in molecular terms, all things must stay constant. If you put a convinced amount you have to get that quantity back, not less or not more in broad terms.

The enthalpy change for the reaction of titanium metal with gaseous iodine is given by the following thermochemical equation: 2
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer : The enthalpy change for the reaction is, 419.5 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

The given chemical reaction is,

2Ti(s)+3I_2(g)\rightarrow 2TiI_3(s)    \Delta H=-839kJ

Now we have to determine the enthalpy change for the reaction below:

TiI_3(s)\rightarrow Ti(s)+\frac{3}{2}I_2(g)    \Delta H'=?

By reversing and then dividing the reaction by 2, we get the enthalpy change for the reaction.

The expression will be:

\Delta H'=-\frac{(\Delta H)}{2}

\Delta H'=-\frac{(-839kJ)}{2}

\Delta H'=419.5kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for the reaction is, 419.5 kJ

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1) Electron

Explanation:

It carries a negative charge of 1.602176634 × 10−19 coulomb, which is considered the basic unit of electric charge. The rest mass of the electron is 9.1093837015 × 10−31 kg, which is only 1/1,836the mass of a proton.
