<h2>Hello!</h2>

The correct answer is A: Water molecules evaporate and condense at the same rate.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Evaporation is defined as the physical change from liquid to gas, and Condensation is the physical change from gas to liquid.

At any given temperature, these two processes occur at once, in a dynamic equilibrium.

When the lid is closed, evaporation occurs faster than condensation, and pressure increases. Then, when pressure reaches a critical value, condensation starts to occur faster than evaporation, until an equilibrium is reached, and the pressure of the water molecules in the gas phase is maximum for that temperature. The pressure at that point is called Vapor Pressure.

Have a nice day!

The solubility of acetanilide in hot water (5.5 g/100 ml at 100∘C) is not very great, and its solubility in cold water (0.53 g/
Olin [163]

Answer:

89.4%

Explanation:

Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.

So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g

The percent recovery is:

(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%

Metals give up electrons to become cation or anion
galina1969 [7]
Metals usually become cations since electrons are negatively charged and when they are lost there are more protons than electrons making a positive net charge in the atom.  (cations are positively charged ions while anions are negatively charged ions)

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Calculate number of moles in 86.4 g of Ni
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Number of moles = mass of Ni /molecular mass of Ni

mass of nickel = 86.4 g
molecular mass of nickel = 58.69
number of moles of Ni in 86.4 g
=86.4/58.69
=1.472 mol  
(rounded to four significant figures instead of three because the first digit of the answer starts with a 1).
