1) Rank the elements, aluminum, sodium and phosphorus, in order of decreasing conductivity.

1 answer:

8 0

Conductivity is the ability of a substance to allow charge or electricity to pass through it. Metals have a lot of free electrons and are considered as good conductors while non-metals do not conduct electricity

1) In the given examples:

Al is a metal, Na is an alkali metal while P is a non-metal

The decreasing order of conductivity would be:

Al > Na > P

Both Al and Ga are metals while B is metalloid.

Among Al and Ga, Al is a solid at room temperature and a better conductor of electricity. hence the decreasing order would be:

Al > Ga > B

Consider the reaction: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) 80 g of O2

b) O2, 15.13 g of CO2

c) It's not posible to know which is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Reaction CH4 + 2O2 ⇒ CO2 + 2H2O

a. Calculate the grams of O2 needed to react with 20.00 grams of CH4. _____________

MW CH4 = 16 g

MW O2 = 32 g

16 g of CH4 ---------------- 2(32) g of O2

20 g -------------- x

x = (20 x 64) / 16 = 80 g of O2

b. Given 15.00 g. of CH4 and 22.00 g. of O2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the grams of CO2 that can be produced. LR _________ grams CO2 _________ .

CH4 + 2O2 ⇒ CO2 + 2H2O

15 g 22 g

16 g of CH4 ---------------- 64 g of O2

15 g of CH4 --------------- x

x = (15 x 64) / 16 = 60 g of O2

The Limiting reactant is O2 because it is necessary 60g of O2 for 16 g of CH4 and there are only 22.

CH4 + 2O2 ⇒ CO2 + 2H2O

64 g of O2 ------------------ 44 g of CO2

22 g of O2 ------------------ x

x = (22 x 44)/ 64 = 15. 13 g of CO2

c. For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O, if you have 10.31 g. of CH4 and an unknown amount of oxygen, and form 20.00 g. of CO2, i. Identify if there is a limiting reactant ______________ ii. Calculate the number of grams of the limiting reactant present if there is one. ______________

CH4 + 2O2 ⇒ CO2 + 2H2O

10.31 g 20 g

We can identify the limiting reactant if we know the quantity of the reactants, if we only know the quantity of one it is not posible to which is the limiting reactant.

What is the iupac name of the following compound? 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.

The substance argon has the following properties: normal melting point: 83.9 K normal boiling point: 87.4 K triple point: 0.68 a

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The final state of the substance is a gas.

The sample is initially a liquid. One or more phase changes will occur.

Explanation:

Let's consider the phase diagram for Argon (not to scale).

A sample of argon is initially at a pressure of 49.6 atm and a temperature of 101.4 K. The pressure on the sample is reduced to 0.680 atm at a constant temperature of 101.4 K. Which of the following are true? Choose all that apply

The final state of the substance is a gas. TRUE. At 0.680 atm and 101.4 K, the substance is a gas.

The gas initially present will solidify. FALSE. Initially, Ar is present as a liquid.

The final state of the substance is a solid. FALSE.

The sample is initially a liquid. One or more phase changes will occur. TRUE. The sample is initially liquid and only one phase change will occur.
