Answer:

a. Due to the evolved hydrogen from potassium to water reaction being able to reach the flash point of the reaction temperature

b. Non-metal

The molecular formula is N₂O₃

Explanation:

a. The heat of the reaction between calcium and water is given as follows

Ca + 2 H₂O → H₂ +  Ca(OH)₂    ΔH = -431.15 kJ which is exothermic, Entropy = -125.29 J/K

The heat of the reaction between potassium and water is given as follows

2 k + 2 H₂O → 2 KOH  + H₂ ΔH = -393.15 kJ Entropy = 44.91 J/K

Therefore, the reaction between potassium and water occurs more vigorously than the reaction between calcium and water such that the flash point for the released hydrogen gas is reached in the case of potassium

b. The acidic oxides are oxides of metals or non-metals that react with water to produce an acid

Given the valence of the oxide which is +3, the oxide can be aluminium, Al or nitrogen, N, however, Al₂O₃ behaves both as an acid and a base, therefore, the likely candidate is nitrogen, which shows that X is a non-metal

The molecular formula is therefore;

N₂O₃

How many simple distillation columns are required to purify a stream containing five components into five 'pure"products? Sketch
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: one simple distillation column is required to separate the stream into five pure products. With four different flat bottom flask, for collection of the distilled products

Explanation: simple distillation works with the difference in boiling points of the liquid to be separated. For the separation of five different constituent to be possible, we have to know the boiling points of the constituents.

For your understanding, let's define constituents in the liquid to be A, B, C, D, E. And the boiling points increases respectively. Start by heating the liquid to the boiling point of A to extract A. After a while check if the constituents A is still dropping in the flat bottom flask, if it has stopped dropping, it simply means that we have extracted all A constituents in the liquid, label the Flask A. Get another flask to extract constituent B.

Heat the mixture to the boiling point of B, after a while check if constituent B is still dropping in the flat bottom flask, if it has stopped dropping,it means that we have extracted all B constituent in the liquid, label the Flask B. Get another flask for C.

Repeat the same process for C and D.

After Extracting D we don't need to distillate E because we already have a pure form of E inside to the conical flask.

One mole of calcium ions has the same number of representative particles as which of the following? one mole of calcium nuclei o
Kruka [31]
One mole is always the same number: 6.02 * 10^ 23.

So, one mole of cars = 6.02 * 10 ^23 cars; one mole of pencils = 6.02 * 10^23 pencils; one mole of atoms = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms; one mole of molecules = 6.02 * 10^23 molecules.

So, all the options are correct: one mole of calcium ions has 6.02 * 10^23 representative particles, such as one mole of calcium nuclei and one of calcium atoms.
