Answer:

a. Selenium

Explanation:

Selenium is a non metal but though rarely, it is considered to be a metalloid.

(Metalloids are elements intermediate between metals and nonmetals and are known to have partly metallic and partly non metallic properties.)

Selenium is in group 16 of the periodic table below sulphur and has average properties of the group elements above and below it in the periodic table..

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is a. Selenium (Se).

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the given answer options, Selenium (Se) is the only element which is a non metal.

It has the atomic number 34 with atomic weight 78.96. It is a member of the sulfur group of the non metallic elements and falls in period 4 of the Periodic table.

Selenium has non metallic properties which are intermediate between the elements that lie above and below it in the Periodic table.

Enter a balanced equation for the complete combustion of liquid C3H7OH. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all
Vlad1618 [11]

2 C₃H₇OH (l) +  9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Bellow we have the balanced chemical equation of the complete combustion of C₃H₇OH:

C₃H₇OH (l) +  (9/2) O₂ (g) → 3 CO₂ (g) + 4 H₂O (g)

to have integer coefficients  we multiply the reaction with 2:

2 C₃H₇OH (l) +  9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

where:

(l) - liquid

(g) - gaseous

The effective nuclear charge is the amount of charge experienced by an electron taking into account any shielding effects from o
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).

Explanation:

First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.

Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1

Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2

Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.

From

Zeff= Z- S

The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.

Explain what Happens at the saturation point when adding salt to water at room temperature.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

You won't see much happening. The solution is saturated, so the salt will fall to the bottom of the container and sit there. It will not dissolve.

However, at the atomic level, Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions are being pulled from the surface of the crystals and going into solution as hydrated ions. At other places, Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions are returning to the surface of the crystals.

The process is

NaCl(s) ⇌ Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

The rates of the forward and reverse processes are equal, so you see no net change.

A 19-g piece of metal absorbs 186.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 35°C to 175°C. Calculate the specif
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:m

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{2}-T_{1})

where,

Q = heat absorbed by metal = 186.75 J

m_1 = Mass of metal= 19 g

T_1 = Initial  temperature of metal = 35^oC

T_2 =Final  temperature of metal = 175^oC

c = specific heat of metal= ?

186.75 J=19 g\times c\times (175^oC-35^oC)

c=\frac{186.75 J}{19 g\times (175^oC-35^oC)}

c=0.0702J/g^oC

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.
