Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Silicon (Obtained from Sand (SiO2)) is the element that is primarily used in appliances to make electronic chips.
Answer:
½O 2 + 2e - + H 2O → 2OH.
Explanation:
Redox reactions - Higher
In terms of electrons:
oxidation is loss of electrons
reduction is gain of electrons
Rusting is a complex process. The example below show why both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. They are interesting examples of oxidation, reduction and the use of half equations:
iron loses electrons and is oxidised to iron(II) ions: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-
oxygen gains electrons in the presence of water and is reduced: ½O2 + 2e- + H2O → 2OH-
iron(II) ions lose electrons and are oxidised to iron(III) ions by oxygen: 2Fe2+ + ½O2 → 2Fe3+ + O2-
Answer:
B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.
Explanation:
The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :
1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.
2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.
3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.
4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.
The correct option is B.
2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters
Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm
final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm
final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?
From the data given above, the law used is :
Boyles Law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31
= 2.24 Liters
If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
