An ion of sulfur has a smaller atomic radius than a neutral atom of sulfur because it loses an electron when becoming an ion.

Answer is FALSE. Because sulfur has no tendency to loss an electron, since its electronic configuration is 16, it always want to gain 2 electron to form S^2-, following octet rule.

The answer would be yes if it can lose an electron(because when an atom loses an electron it form cation whose nuclear charge remain as same as neutral atom but number of electron decreases. As a result the nuclear charge has to act on a fewer number of electron and hence there will be more attraction between the nuclear charge and outermost electrons resulting in decrease in size) but it is not possible in case of sulfur.

How many pounds of manganese are in 1.261 tons of Mn2O3?
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000pound

Explanation:

Manganese metal is produced from the manganese(III) oxide, Mn2O3, which is found in manganite, a manganese ore. The manganese is reduced from its +3 oxidation state in Mn2O3 to the zero oxidation state of the uncharged metal by reacting the Mn2O3 with a reducing agent such as aluminum or carbon. How many pounds of manganese are in 1.261 tons of Mn2O3? (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

About 40 different substances called organophosphorus compounds are registered in the United States as insecticides. They are considered less damaging to the environment than some other insecticides because they breakdown relatively rapidly in the environment. The first of these organophosphorus insecticides to be produced was tetraethyl pyrophosphate, TEPP, which is 33.11% carbon, 6.95% hydrogen, 38.59% oxygen, and 21.35% phosphorus. It has a molecular mass of 290.190.

As a forensic expert, Jane needs to handle many biological evidence samples simultaneously. What is the basic precaution that sh
madreJ [45]

Answer:

B.  use a new pair of gloves for each piece of evidence

Explanation:

When it comes to the basic precautions of handling biological evidence samples, one has to prevent cross contamination. This refers to the<em> transfer of DNA from one evidence to another evidence</em>; thus, it is important for Jane to use a new pair of gloves for each piece of evidence in order to prevent such occurrence.

Wearing of gloves will also <em>prevent Jane's DNA from being implanted into the sample</em>, and it will keep her safe from contracting blood-borne pathogens like those in the saliva, blood or semen.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

(a). 4°C, (b). 2.4M, (c). 11.1 g, (d). 89.01 g, (e). 139.2 g and (f). 58 g/mol.

Explanation:

Without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question.

(a). The freezing point depression can be Determine by subtracting the value of the initial temperature from the final temperature. Therefore;

The freezing point depression = [ 1 - (-3)]° C = 4°C.

(b). The molality can be Determine by using the formula below;

Molality = the number of moles found in the solute/ solvent's weight(kg).

Molality = ( 11.1 / 58) × (1000)/ ( 90.4 - 11.1) = 2.4 M.

(c). The mass of acetone that was in the decanted solution = 11.1 g.

(d). The mass of water that was in the decanted solution = 89.01 g.

(e). 2.4 = x/ 58 × (1000/1000).

x = 2.4 × 58 = 139.2 g.

(f). The molar mass of acetone = (12) + (1 × 3) + 12 + 16 + 12 + (1 x 3) = 58 g/mol.

Which of the following best describes the changes involved in a fission reaction?
never [62]
The correct answer is this: THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM SPLITS INTO FRAGMENTS, RELEASING A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
Nuclear fission is the process in which the nucleus of a radioactive element split into two different nucleic of smaller sizes of different elements with a large release of energy. Nuclear fission process is usually used to provide energy for electricity generation.
