Answer:

Barium (Ba)

Explanation:

Barium is a group 2 elements.

Valence shell electronic configuration = [Xe]6s^2

Its valence shell has only two electrons and by loosing these electrons, it attains inert gas configuration. therefore, it looses electron easily.

It is highly reactive and because of its high reactive nature, never present in nature in free state.

In general, reactivity increases down the group in the periodic table.

This is because down the group atomic size increases and electrons becomes far from the nucleus, so outer electrons are not tightly held by the nucleus. Therefore, valence shell electrons loose easily which in turn increases reactivity.

So, Ba is more reactive among all the given elements.

Classify each of the following as a homogeneous or heterogeneous substance.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

a). iron ore - is a heterogeneous substance.

b). quartz - is a homogeneous substance.

c). granite - is a heterogeneous substance.

d). energy drink - is a heterogeneous substance.

e). oil-and-vinegar salad dressing - is a heterogeneous substance.

f). salt - is a homogeneous substance.

g). rainwater - is a heterogeneous substance.

h). nitrogen - is a homogeneous substance.

Explanation:

a). iron ore - is a heterogeneous substance as iron core contains iron and other impurities

b). quartz - is a homogeneous substance as it is only made up of carbon

c). granite - is a heterogeneous substance as it is made up of multiple minerals.

d). energy drink - is a heterogeneous substance as it contains various substances mixed in it

e). oil-and-vinegar salad dressing - is a heterogeneous substance as oil and vinegar itself are different compounds

f). salt - is a homogeneous substance as it only contains one type of molecule

g). rainwater - is a heterogeneous substance as it contains water and other minerals

h). nitrogen - is a homogeneous substance as it is only made of one type of molecule.

What is the volume of 40.0 grams of argon gas at STP ?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

24.9 L Ar

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Moles
  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>

  • States of Matter

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 40.0 g Ar

[Solve] L Ar

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 40.0 \ g \ Ar(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ar}{39.95 \ g \ Ar})(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ar}{1 \ mol \ Ar})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 24.9235 \ L \ Ar

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar

If you have 250 mL of 0.75 M LINO2.<br> How many grams of this substance<br> would you have?
Vesna [10]

Mass of this substance = 9.928 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Molarity is a way to express the concentration of the solution

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solute or mmol in each ml of solution

\large{\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \frac {n} {V}}}

Where

M = Molarity

n = Number of moles of solute

V = Volume of solution

So to find the number of moles can be expressed as

\boxed{\bold{n=V\times M}}

mol of substance -Lithium nitrite - LiNO₂ :

V = 250 ml = 0.25 L

M = 0.75 M

\tt n=0.25\times 0.75=0.1875

So mass of this substance -  LiNO₂ (MW=52,947 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.1875\times 52,947 g/mol\\\\mass=9.928~g
