Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances which have more number of electrons. It is due to the presence of valence electrons that metals are able to conduct electricity.

Iodine ans silicon being non-metals do not conduct electricity.

Whereas neon being a noble gas have completely filled shells. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity unless and until it is ionized.

On the other hand, lead being a metals is able to conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options lead is most likely to be the best conductor of electricity.

A tank holds 6.90 m3 of water. What is the volume in ft3? (3.28 ft = 1 m, Remember significant figures, but this answer does not

AleksAgata [21]

Volume of tank = $6.9 m^{3}$ (given)

Since, $1 m = 3.28 ft$

So,

$1 m^{3} = 35.287 ft^{3}$

For $6.9 m^{3}$ :

$6.9\times 35.287 ft^{3} = 243.4803 ft^{3}$

The significant rule for multiplication, states that the number of significant figures in the answer obtained by multiplication is determined by the value with the lowest number of significant digits.

Since, the minimum number of decimal places in the above multiplication operation is 1 so, the final result must be upto 1 decimal place only.

$243.4803 ft^{3} \simeq 243.5 ft^{3}$

Hence, volume in $ft^{3}$ is 243.5.

What is the volume occupied by 4.20 miles of oxygen gas (O2) at STP

Drupady [299]

Answer: 94.13 L

Explanation: In STP in an ideal gas there is a standard value for both temperature and pressure. At STP,pressure is equal to 1atm and the temperature at 0°C is equal to 273.15K. This problem is an ideal gas so we use PV=nRT where R is a constant R= 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K.

To find volume, derive the equation, it becomes V=nRT/P. Substitute the values. V= 4.20 mol( 0.08205L.atm/mol.K)(273.15K) / 1 atm = 94.13 L. The mole units, atm and K will be cancelled out and L will be the remaining unit which is for volume.
