Answer:

The increase in mass is not due to the heating but due to the reaction of the metal with oxygen in air to form an oxide

Explanation:

When a metal is heated in the presence of air, oxygen present in air reacts with the metal to form the oxide of the metal. The mass of this oxide is greater than the original metal by the amount of oxygen added to the metal during the reaction.

The above reaction is known as an oxidation reaction. Generally,

metal M + O2 ---> MO2

The infrared spectrum above represents the absorption of certain wavelengths of radiation by molecules of CO2. Which of the foll
valkas [14]

Answer:

Carbon Dioxide is an Infrared Radiation Absorber. The (CO2) molecules also emits the absorbed infrared (IR) radiation energy. The photon energy from the infrared radiation causes the CO2 molecule to vibrate. Only some of its vibrational modes absorb infrared radiation

Explanation:

Its linear structure is considered when working with the formula to calculate the number of molecular vibrational modes. It has 3n - 4 vibrational modes, where n is the number of atoms in a compound of CO2

With 3 atoms, CO2 has

3n−5=4 types or patterns of vibration

1. The symmetric stretch

2. The asymmetric stretch

3. The bend

The symmetric stretch vibrational mode is ir-inactive.

The asymmetric stretch is ir-active as it results in changes in dipole moment

The bend is ir-active as well as it results in a change in dipole moment too.

an aqueous solution has a mass of 490 grams containing 8.5×5103 gram of calcium ions. the concentration of calcium ions is in th
Alex777 [14]
There are several various of expressing concentration. For instance, mass percent, volume percent, Molarity, Normality, Molality, etc.

In present case, weight of solute and solvent are given, so it will be convenient to express concentration in terms of mass percent.

Given: weight of solute (Ca2+) = 8500 g
weight of solvent (water) = 490 g.
Therefore, mass of solution = 8500 + 490 = 8990 g

Now, mass percent = \frac{\tect{Weight of solute}}{\text{Weight of solution}} X 100
                               = \frac{\tect{8500}}{\text{8990}} X 100
                               = 94.55 %

Answer: Concentration of calcium ions is in this solution is 94.55 % (w/W)

Colligative properties depend upon the ____. Select one: a. nature of the solute b. nature of the solvent c. number of solute pa
Flauer [41]
The correct answer is C. Colligative properties only depend upon the number of solute particles in a solution but not on the identity or nature of the solute and solvent particles. I hope this anwers your question.
