Answer:

Iodine have higher atomic size than tellurium because of the presence of more number of protons and lower atomic mass than tellurium because of the presence of lower number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an element is the number of the protons present in the element.

Atomic mass is the sum of a protons and the neutrons which are present in the nucleus of the atom.

Iodine has higher atomic number than tellurium because it has more number of protons than the tellurium.

On the other hand, iodine has lower atomic mass than tellurium because it has less number of neutrons in its core.

Liquid water is about 800 times denser than dry air under standard conditions. Use kinetic molecular theory to explain this diff

Savatey [412]

<em>Kinetic molecular Theory points:</em>

1. Gases molecules are always in random motion.

2. Gases molecule collide with each other and with the walls of container.

3. Gases molecules total volume is negligible as compare to container.

4. There is no attractive forces between the gases particles

5. K.E is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

<em>Why liquid are denser than gases according to K.M.T:</em>

1. As gases are in random motion, so they have weak forces/ no attractive forces (Acc. to KMT) due to this they are apart as compare to liquid which have stronger forces are closer to each other. So volume of gases will be greater. d= m/v

2. K. E of gases are greater than liquid due to this gases move randomly, apart from each another. Due to this their volume will be greater. d= m/v

3. Gases molecules total volume is negligible as compare to container which show that gases molecules have large spaces between them which causes lower in density.

Explain why an insoluble compound added to water is considered a nonelectrolyte.

DaniilM [7]

Explanation:

A non-electrolyte is defined as a solution which does not contain any ions and hence, it is unable to conduct electricity.

For example, when a non-polar substance like $CCl_{4}$ is dissolved in water then it will not dissociate into ions.

As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. So, a non-electrolyte solution is not able to conduct electricity.

Similarly, a compound that is insoluble in water will not dissociate into ions. Hence, this type of solution will not be able to conduct electricity.

Butane, C4H10, is a component of natural gas that is used as fuel for cigarette lighters. The balanced equation of the complete

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

So the volume will be 2.33 L

Explanation:

The reaction for the combustion is:

2 C₄H₁₀ (g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (l)

mass of butane to moles (mass / molar mass)

1.4 g / 58 g/mol

= 0.024 moles

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide

0.024 moles of butane must produce (0.024 × 8) /2

= 0.096 moles of CO₂

Now we apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume formed.

P . V = n . R . T

p = 1atm

n = 0.096 mol

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

T = 273 + 23 = 296K

V = ?

1atm × V = 0.096 mol × 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 296K

V = 0.096 mol × 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 296K / 1atm

= 2.33 L

So the volume will be 2.33 L
