Answer:

Explanation:

One of the properties of a liquid is that, it's particles move freely (not tightly packed) hence the reason for it's free flowing (no definite shape) when shaken in a container, unlike a solid whose particles are tightly packed with restricted/no movement and hence the reason for it's compactness and it's definite shape.

When a plastic solid (whose particle is tightly packed and have a restricted movement/no movement) is placed near a heat source, it's particles gains energy in the process and starts to move (though slightly free) and become less tightly packed hence the reason it is observed that plastic solids near a heat source melts.

From the above, it can be deduced that a liquid and a plastic solid near a heat source have there particles move freely (and not tightly packed) hence making the two substances flow freely with no definite shape.

Draw the lewis structure for so42-. How many equivalent resonance structures can be drawn?

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ .

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $SO_4^{2-}$

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $SO_4^{2-}$ = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ is shown below.

When an aluminum cube of edge 0.100 m and temperature T0= 5.00°C is submerged in a bucket of water, the level of the water rises

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

5.52cm³ of water will rise and might spill over the edge

Explanation:

Use the change in volume of a liquid with changing temperature equation which is written as

ΔV = β x V₀ x ΔT, where β is the coefficient of expansion, V₀ is the volume being submerged and ΔT is the difference in temperature

ΔV = (69 x 10⁻⁶) x (0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1) x (85 - 5)

ΔV = 5.52 x 10⁻⁶ m³

ΔV = 5.52cm³

Zinc metal and aqueous silver nitrate react to give Zn(NO3)2(aq) plus silver metal. When 5.00 g of Zn(s) and solution containing

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The percent yield is, 83.51 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Zn = 5.00 g

Mass of $AgNO_3$ = 25.00 g

Molar mass of Zn = 65.38 g/mole

Molar mass of $AgNO_3$ = 168.97 g/mole

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Zn and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }Zn=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Zn}{\text{ Molar mass of }Zn}=\frac{5.00g}{65.38g/mole}=0.0765moles$

$\text{ Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }AgNO_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }AgNO_3}=\frac{25.00g}{168.97g/mole}=0.1479moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $AgNO_3$ react with 1 mole of $Zn$

So, 0.1479 moles of $AgNO_3$ react with $\frac{0.1479}{2}=0.07395$ moles of $Zn$

From this we conclude that, $Zn$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $AgNO_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Ag$
