Answer:

Graphite.

Explanation:

Hello,

Graphite, plumbago or black lead, is a mineral making up of carbon as its main atom. It has an aromatic-like structure that consists of rings of six carbon atoms assembled in widely spaced horizontal planes. It is extremely soft, and slippery, cleaves at low pressure. Moreover has a very low specific gravity making it a decent electricity conductor. In addition, it successfully withstands heat.

Best regards.

What is the osmolarity of a solution made by dissolving 0.50 mole of the strong electrolyte cacl2 in 1.0 l of solution?

valina [46]

Osmolarity=osmole of the solute/litres of the solution
ionic equation for dissociation of CaCl2 is
CaCl2--->Ca2+ +2Cl-
total osmoles for reaction are 1(Ca2+) + 2(Cl-)= 3 osmoles
therefore

0.50 moles of CaCl2 x 3 osmoles/ 1mole of CaCl2 = 1.5osmoles
osmolarity=1.5 /1.0 L=1.5 osmol/l

How does beta decay affect the atomic number?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The atomic mass number does not change because a beta particle has a much smaller mass than the atom. The atomic number goes up because a neutron has turned into an extra proton. Beta decay is fundamentally different from alpha decay. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons.

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is cooled to its freezing point.

IRINA_888 [86]

Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$
