Answer:

The vertical columns are called groups.

Explanation:

Periodic table consist of vertical columns and horizontal rows.

Vertical columns are called groups while horizontal rows are called periods.

There are seven periods and 18 groups in periodic table.

The elements in same group have similar properties and can react in a similar way.

The elements in same group have same number of valance electrons that's why their reactivity is same.

Consider the example of alkaline earth metals. They are present in group two and have same number of valance electrons (two valance electrons).

They react with oxygen and form oxide.

2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,

BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂

MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

With sulfur,

Mg + S → MgS

Ca + S → CaS

Ba + S → BaS

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give

tankabanditka [31]

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Given:

The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.

To find:

The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.

Solution:

The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}K_bT\\\\K.E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 330 K\\\\K.E=6.381\times 10^{-21} J$

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy

The potential energy at height h = $P.E = 6.381\times 10^{-21} J$
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

$m= \frac{ 28.0134 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=4.652\times 10^{-23} g\\\\1g=0.001kg\\\\m=4.652\times 10^{-23}\times 0.001 kg\\\\=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg$

The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The potential energy is given by:

$P.E=mgh$

$6.381\times 10^{-21} J=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times h\\\\h=\frac{6.381\times 10^{-21} J}{4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2}\\\\h=13,996.6 m\\\\1 m = 0.001 km\\\\h=13,996.6 m=h=13,996.6\times 0.001 k m\\\\=13.9966 km \approx 14 km$

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Sulfur and oxygen form both sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. When samples of these were decomposed the sulfur dioxide produce

Zinaida [17]

Answer : The mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide is, 0.997 g and 1.5 g respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of oxygen in sulfur dioxide = 3.49 g

Mass of sulfur in sulfur dioxide = 3.50 g

Mass of oxygen in sulfur trioxide = 9.00 g

Mass of sulfur in sulfur trioxide = 6.00 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide = $\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of sulfur}}$

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide = $\frac{3.49}{3.50}=0.997g$

and,

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur trioxide = $\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of sulfur}}$

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur trioxide = $\frac{9.00}{6.00}=1.5g$

Thus, the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide is, 0.997 g and 1.5 g respectively.

Uranium-235 has a half-life of 713 million years. Would uranium-235 or carbon-14 be more useful for dating a fossil from Precamb

9966 [12]

Answer: Uranium-235.

Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of antique objects, including fossils.

The half-life time of the radioactive elements is what permits the process of dating.

The half-life of C-14 is too short to be useful to date too old objects.

Precambrian time is the most antique era. C-14 hal-life is about 5730 years and Precambrian time is millions or billions of years ago. Given that the hal-life of U-235 is 704 million years it is appropiate to date the fossils from the Precambrian era.

How is molarity measured

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Molarity (m) is defined as the number of moles to solute (n) the volume (v) of the solution in liters is important to note that the molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution not moles of solute per liter of solute.
