D -a substance made of more than one type of atom
Llana [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b. a substance made of only one type of atom

Explanation:

Elements are what you find on the periodic table of elements.

Take oxygen, for example. You can have one or multiple atoms, but if they are all oxygen atoms it's an element.

"a" is incorrect because water is not an element, it is a compound.

"c" is incorrect because such a thing (as far as we know) does not exist, unless we are talking about subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up an atom.

"d" is incorrect because it describes a compound.

What heat is liberated in the formation of 10.0 grams of sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, from the elements sulfur and fluorine?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Q=-76.7kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for such formation of sulfur hexafluoride, the standard enthalpy of formation is -1220.47 kJ/mol (data extracted from NIST database). Next, we compute the moles in 10.0 grams of sulfur hexafluoride as shown below:

n_{SF_6}=10.0gSF_6*\frac{1molSF_6}{146.06 gSF_6}=0.0685mol

Next, for the given energy, we compute the total heat that is liberated:

Q=-1220.47\frac{kJ}{mol}*0.0685 mol\\\\Q=-76.7kJ

Finally, we conclude such symbol has sense since negative heat is related with liberated heat.

Best regards.

The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its _____.
svlad2 [7]
The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its accuracy. This term is the degree of which a certain measurement conforms to the correct value or the standard value. It is not the same with the term precision. Precision, on the other hand, is a measure used to characterize the closeness of the data measured.

What is the difference between water and alcohol
Rudik [331]

Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

Explanation:

In water one oxygen atom  is covalently bound with  two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound  having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.
