Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species which have deficiency of electrons. Therefore, in order to gain stability non-metals tend to gain electrons so that their octet gets completely filled.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electrons are distributed as 2, 8, 7. Thus, in order to completely filled the shell chlorine will gain one electron from an electron rich atom or metal.

Hence, we can conclude that in order for a nonmetal to obey the octet rule, it gains electrons.

What is the % by volume of 50mL of ethylene glycol dissolved in 950mL of H2O?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

5.0 %

Explanation:

Given data

  • Volume of ethylene glycol (solute): 50 mL
  • Volume of water (solvent): 950 mL

Step 1: Calculate the volume of solution

If we assume that <em>the volumes are additive</em>, the volume of the solution is equal to the sum of the volume of the solute and the solvent.

V = 50 mL + 950 mL = 1000 mL

Step 2: Calculate the percent by volume

We will use the following expression.

\% v/v = \frac{volume\ of\ solute}{volume\ of\ solution} \times 100 \%  = \frac{50mL}{1000mL} \times 100 \% = 5.0\%

Question 1
Tema [17]

Answer:

Synthesis Reaction

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Reactions</u>

  • Synthesis Reactions: A + B → AB
  • Decomposition Reactions: AB → A + B
  • Single-Replacement Reactions: A + BC → AB + C
  • Double-Replacement Reactions: AB + CD → AD + BC

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

RxN:   2Na + I₂ → 2NaI

<u>Step 2: Identify</u>

2Na + I₂ → 2NaI

A + B → AB

  • A = Na
  • B = I₂
  • C = NaI
