Carpet is mostly air and air is a poor conductor of heat. Wood is solid, so it is a better conductor. Tile and metal are even better conductors than wood. When you touch the carpet, it is not able to remove heat from your feet as easily as wood, and as a result, it feels warmer.

What is the percent composition of N H S O in (NH4)2SO4
Lena [83]

Answer:

The percent composition is 21% N, 6% H, 24% S and 49% O.

Explanation:

1st) The molar mass of (NH4)2SO4 is 132g/mol, and it represents the 100% of the mass composition.

In 1 mole of (NH4)2SO4, there are:

- 2 moles of N.

- 8 moles of H.

- 1 mole of S.

- 4 moles of O.

2nd) It is necessary to calculate the mass of each element, multiplying its molar mass by the number of moles:

- 2 moles of N (14g/mol) = 28g

- 8 moles of H (1g/mol) = 8g

- 1 mole of S (32g/mol) = 32g

- 4 moles of O (16g/mol) = 64g

3rd) With a mathematical rule of three we can calculate the percent composition of each element in the molecule of (NH4)2SO4:

\begin{gathered} \text{ Nitrogen:} \\ 132g-100\% \\ 28g-x=\frac{28g*100\%}{132g} \\ x=21\% \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{ Hydrogen:} \\ 132g-100\operatorname{\%} \\ 8g-x=\frac{8g*100\operatorname{\%}}{132g} \\ x=6\% \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{ Sulfur:} \\ 132g-100\operatorname{\%} \\ 32g-x=\frac{32g*100\operatorname{\%}}{132g} \\ x=24\% \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{ Oxygen:} \\ 100\%-21\%-6\%-24\%=49\% \\  \\  \end{gathered}

In this case, we can calculate the percent composition of Oxygen by subtracting the other percentages, since the total must be 100%.

So, the percent composition is 21% N, 6% H, 24% S and 49% O.

Which of the following is a characteristic property of the alkaline earth
34kurt

"They are harder than alkali metals" is a characteristic property of the alkaline earth  metals.

<u>Option:</u> C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The strength of metallic bond is stronger in alkaline earth metals than alkali metals because of the existence of 2 electrons in its outermost or valence shell relative to alkali metal which has only 1 electron in valence shell. Thus alkaline earth metals are therefore harder than the alkali metals.

They are considered alkaline since they formulate solutions that have a pH higher than 7, rendering them alkaline or bases. Radium is produced by uranium decay, not all alkaline elements are radioactive. It's very toxic, and the handling is risky. Calcium and magnesium are essential for animals and plants.
