None of the given statements are completely true.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Family or groups in "periodic table" are 18 in number which represents column in table. As we go down in a family or group in the "periodic table"-the atom size become bigger and bigger. Non-Metals are less reactive which mostly lie in p-block. "Metals" are ""ore reactive" in "s-block". The atom’s valence electrons remain same for example when we go down in alkali metals in s-block the valence electron is one only and in alkaline earth metals its two only.

From a scientific viewpoint, why do many desert dwellers elect to wear white or light-colored garments

alexandr1967 [171]

Darker colors absorb sunlight more, so it will become hotter. Lighter colored clothes will better reflect sun so they will be less hot.

Hope that helped

Which gas law states that the pressure of a gas decreases when volume is increased and the temperature is unchanged

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Boyle's law

Explanation: It states that pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas at constant temperature.

$P$ ∝ $\frac{1}{V}$ at constant temperature

or If the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases if the temperature is unchanged and If the pressure of gas is increased, the volume decreases if the temperature is unchanged.

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br

12345 [234]

Answer: a) $HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) $HCN$ : acid $CN^-$ :conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ : base $H_3O^+$ : conjugate acid.

c) $HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) $NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) $NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of $HCN$ acid is given by:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$HCN$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $CN^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

$HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of $NaCN$ in water.

$NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of $NaCN$ and $HCI$

$NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Which statement is true of the particles that make up a substance?

victus00 [196]

Particles in a gas have more energy than particles in a liquid. Because in gaseous state particles are free to move around due to which kinetic energy of molecule or gas increases and hence overall energy increases
