6 At STP, which element is a good conductor of electricity?(1) chlorine (3) silver

2 answers:

3 0

For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.

Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity

answer is 3) silver

It would be Silver because it is metal.

Air trapped in a cylinder fitted with a piston occupies 145 mL at 1.08 atm

pav-90 [236]

Answer: 0.0014 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Original pressure of air (P1) = 1.08 atm

Original volume of air (T1) = 145mL

[Convert 145mL to liters

If 1000mL = 1l

145mL = 145/1000 = 0.145L]

New volume of air (V2) = 111L

New pressure of air (P2) = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is held constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

1.08 atm x 0.145L = P2 x 111L

0.1566 atm•L = 111L•P2

Divide both sides by 111L

0.1566 atm•L/111L = 111L•P2/111L

0.0014 atm = P2

Thus, the new pressure of air when the volume is decreased to 111 L is 0.0014 atm

A strontium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 10.60 gg of Sr(OH)2Sr(OH)2 in water to make 47.00 mLmL of solution.What

NeTakaya

Answer:

Approximately $1.854\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Note that both figures in the question come with four significant figures. Therefore, the answer should also be rounded to four significant figures. Intermediate results should have more significant figures than that.

<h3>Formula mass of strontium hydroxide</h3>

Look up the relative atomic mass of $\rm Sr$ , $\rm O$ , and $\rm H$ on a modern periodic table. Keep at least four significant figures in each of these atomic mass data.

$\rm Sr$ : $87.62$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Calculate the formula mass of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ :

$M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) = 87.62 + 2\times (15.999 + 1.008) = 121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

<h3>Number of moles of strontium hydroxide in the solution</h3>

$M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) =121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ means that each mole of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units have a mass of $121.634\; \rm g$ .

The question states that there are $10.60\; \rm g$ of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ in this solution.

How many moles of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units would that be?

$\begin{aligned}n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{m\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}\\ &= \frac{10.60\; \rm g}{121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Molarity of this strontium hydroxide solution</h3>

There are $8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units in this $47\; \rm mL$ solution. Convert the unit of volume to liter:

$V = 47\; \rm mL = 0.047\; \rm L$ .

The molarity of a solution measures its molar concentration. For this solution:

$\begin{aligned}c\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{V}\\ &= \frac{8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol}{0.047\; \rm L} \approx 1.854\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to four significant figures.)

Which particles have a similar relative mass

olganol [36]

Answer:

c ) protons and neutrons

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but they are both much more massive than electrons (approximately 2,000 times as massive as an electron). The positive charge on a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge on an electron.
