A student tested a sample of carbon (C) by combining it with water. There was no reaction between the carbon and water. The stud

ent concluded that carbon must be a group 18 element, since it was unreactive. State whether you agree with the student's reasoning, and explain why or why not?

I disagree. Carbon is not a group 18 element. This is incorrect because elements closer to the top of the group are less reactive than those at the bottom of the group. Group 18 elements are noble gases and carbon, a group 14 element, is a non metal.

Which gas has approximately the same density as c2h6 at stp no nh3 h20 so2?
zmey [24]
1 mole of any gas occupy 22.4 L at STP (standard temperature and pressure, 0°C and 1 atm).

Let given gases be 1 mole. So their volumes will be the same, 22.4 liters.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

By formula; density= mass/volume; d=m/V

To find out masses of gases, do the mole calculation.

By formula; mole= mass/molar mass; n= m/M; m= n*M

Molar masses are calculated as
1. C₂H₆ (ethane)                 = 2*12 g/mol + 6*1 g/mol= 30 g/mol
2. NO (nitrogen monoxide) = 1*14 g/mol + 1*16 g/mol= 30 g/mol
3. NH₃ (ammonia)              = 1*14 g/mol + 3*1 g/mol= 17 g/mol
4. H₂O (water)                    = 2*1 g/mol + 1*16 g/mol= 18 g/mol
5. SO₂ (sulfur dioxide)        = 1*32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol= 64 g/mol
Use Periodic Table to get atomic mass of elements.

Since their volumes are equal, compounds having the same molar mass will have the same density. 
Recall the formula d= m/V.

Ethane and nitrogen monoxide have the same density.

The answer is C₂H₆ and NO.

A solution is made by dissolving 23.5 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) in 0.245 kilograms of water. If the molal freezing point consta
aalyn [17]

Answer:

- 0.99 °C ≅ - 1.0 °C.

Explanation:

  • We can solve this problem using the relation:

<em>ΔTf = (Kf)(m),</em>

where, ΔTf is the depression in the freezing point.

Kf is the molal freezing point depression constant of water = -1.86 °C/m,

m is the molality of the solution (m = moles of solute / kg of solvent = (23.5 g / 180.156 g/mol)/(0.245 kg) = 0.53 m.

<em>∴ ΔTf = (Kf)(m)</em> = (-1.86 °C/m)(0.53 m) =<em> - 0.99 °C ≅ - 1.0 °C.</em>

when hydrogen atom absorbs a photon, and an electron moves level 1 to level 2, what happens to the energy of the atom?
pychu [463]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon).

What is the relationship between the ridge<br> and the age of sediment?<br> Plzzz helppp:(
leva [86]

Answer:

The sediments accumulating on and around mid-ocean ridges are mostly formed from the calcareous and siliceous tests of pelagic organisms. This research is concerned with understanding how the rate of sediment supply varies from place to place due to varied productivity of pelagic organisms, how the sediments accumulate on the complex topography of a mid-ocean ridge, and with using the sediments to study mid-ocean ridge processes such as faulting and volcanism.

Sediment transport and accumulation

When pelagic materials reach the seafloor, they are redistributed by bottom currents and by sedimentary flows. This work studied the form of the accumulation using sediment profiler records collected with a Deep Tow system from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography deployed over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the early 1970s. The records showed that both sets of transport processes are important. The shapes of deposits were studied to see to what extent they conform to the diffusion transport model - many deposits have parabolic surfaces, which are the steady state forms expected from the diffusion transport model under boundary conditions of constant input or output flux to basins.
