A kernel of popcorn contains a small amount of water and when heated the popcorn pops. How can you explain this to someone

Chemistry

When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.

Represent the formation of cations for the following metal atoms using electron dot structures. (a) Al (b) Sr (c) Ba​
vagabundo [1.1K]

the formation of cations by using electron dot structures are :

a) Al

.

Al .    losing the three valence electrons makes the Al³⁺

.

b) Sr :  

  Sr :  losing the two valence electrons makes Sr²⁺

c) Ba

: Ba , losing the two valence electrons makes it Ba²⁺

A Lewis electron dot diagram is a representation of the valence electrons of an atom that employments specks around the image of the element. The number of dots equals the number of valence electrons within the molecule. These dots are arranged to the right and left and over and underneath the symbol, with no more than two dots on a side. Cations are the positive ions shaped by the loss of one or more electrons. The foremost commonly shaped cations of the representative elements are those that include the loss of all of the valence electrons.

Calculate the % composition of the unknown liquid using your most precise result. It is a mixture of ethanol (D[ETOH] = 0.7890 g
Rufina [12.5K]

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water  = 65.49%

<h3>What is density?</h3>

A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

Given data:

The density of ethanol = 0.7890 g/mL

The density of water = 0.9982 g/mL

The density of mixture = 0.926 g/mL

Let the % composition of ethanol = x

Let the % composition of water = 100-x

Now density of the mixture

\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = \frac{percent  \;of  \;ethanol  \;X  \;density  \;of  \;ethanol  \;+  \\ \;percent  \;of  \;water X  \;density  \;of  \;water}{100}

0.926 = \frac{x X  0.7890 g/mL  \;+  (100-x) X  0.9982 g/mL}{100}

x= 34.51 %

Hence,

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water = 65.49%
