Answer:

A

Explanation:

To label an element correctly using a combination of the symbol, mass number and atomic number furnishes some important information about the element.

We can obtain these information from the element provided that correct labeling of the element is presented. Firstly, after writing the symbol of the element, the atomic number is placed as a subscript on the left while the mass number of the atomic mass is placed as a superscript on the same left.

Looking at the question asked, we have the element symbol in the correct position as Ca, with 42 also in the correct position which is the mass number. The third number which is 20 is thus the atomic number of the element.

A reaction has ∆H = −356 kJ and ∆S = −36 J/K. Calculate ∆G (kJ) at 25°C.
Cloud [144]

Answer: -345.2 KJ

Explanation: As we know that ,dG=dH-TdS

T=25+273=298 K

dG= -356 x1000-298(-36)= -356000+10728

=-345272 j

= -345.2 KJ

Cu is in FCC structure. We know that even at close to melting temperature, vacancies are still sparsely distributed, i.e., it is
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

FCC is face centered cubic lattice. In FCC structure, there are eight atoms at the eight corner of the cubic unit cell and one atom centered in each of the faces. FCC unit cells consist of four atoms, (8/8) at the corners and (6/2) in the faces.

Given that, Cu has FCC structure and it contains a vacancy at origin (0, 0, 0). And there is no other vacancy directly adjacent to the vacancy at the origin. So, all the adjacent positions contain Cu atoms. Hence, the total number of adjacent atoms of the vacancy at origin can jump into this vacancy.

the above FCC unit cell clearly indicates that there are six adjacent atoms adjacent to the vacancy at origin

So, the total number of adjacent atoms of the vacancy at origin can jump into this vacancy is 6.

What can occur in physical change ?
Alexandra [31]

Within a physical change, an element can change forms, such as going from solid to a liquid through melting. Color change can also occur during a physical change. Physical changes are very different from chemical changes. In a chemical change the element itself changes into something else within a reaction, such as combustion (burning).
