What is the significance of metalloids in the periodic table?

1 answer:

8 0

Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are useful in semi-conductors. This property makes metalloids useful in electronic components. Some allotropes of elements show more pronounced metal, metalloid or non-metal behavior than others.

Hope this helps! ;)

A gas that was heated to 150 Celsius has a new volume of 1587.4 L. What was its volume when its temperature was 100 Celsius?

sdas [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1058.3 \ L}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the new volume of a gas after a change in temperature. We will use Charles's Law, which states the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature. The formula for this law is:

$\frac {V_1}{T_1}= \frac{V_2}{T_2}$

The gas was heated to 150 degrees Celsius and had a volume of 1587.4 liters.

$\frac {1587.4 \ L }{150 \textdegree C} = \frac {V_2}{T_2}$

The temperature was 100 degrees Celsius, but the volume is unknown.

$\frac {1587.4 \ L }{150 \textdegree C} = \frac {V_2}{100 \textdegree C}$

We are solving for the volume at 100 degrees Celsius, so we must isolate the variable V₂. It is being divided by 100°C and the inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 100°C.

$100 \textdegree C *\frac {1587.4 \ L }{150 \textdegree C} = \frac {V_2}{100 \textdegree C} * 100 \textdegree C$

$100 \textdegree C *\frac {1587.4 \ L }{150 \textdegree C} = V_2$

The units of degrees Celsius cancel.

$100 *\frac {1587.4 \ L }{150 } = V_2$

$100 *10.58266667 \ L = V_2$

$1058.266667 \ L = V_2$

The original measurement of volume has 5 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the tenth place. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round to 2 up to a 3.

$1058.3 \ L = V_2$

The volume of the gas at 100 degrees Celsius is approximately 1058.3 liters.
