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.

The reaction a(g)⇌2b(g) has an equilibrium constant of k = 0.030. what is the equilibrium constant for the reaction b(g)⇌12a(g)?
aalyn [17]
First, we have to correct the equation in the question to b(g)⇆ 1/2 A(g)
at the first equation A(g)⇆ 2 B(g) so,
 Kc = [B]^2 [ A] = 0.03 

by reverse the equation 2B⇆ A 
∴ Kc(original) = [A] / [B]^2

        = 1/0.03 = 33 M^-1

and the new equation B⇆ (1/2) A 
So, the new Kc = √Kc(original = √33 
                ∴    KC  = 5.7

Question 4 (2 points)
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

B. He should heat the water to a higher temperature.

Explanation:

Tiny particles that make up water and salt vibrate at higher speeds in hotter temperatures, which mixes the salt and water faster. This causes salt to dissolve much faster.

Choose all the answers that apply.
IrinaVladis [17]

The answer is:

Sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock, and igneous rock.

<u>If you'd like to know why:</u>

Any type of rock can be a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when a rock (any kind of rock) undergoes immense heat and pressure. If melting does not occur, it will become a metamorphic rock. If it melts, it becomes magma and from there, the magma, could eventually become an igneous rock and the rock cycle will start again.
