Answer:

B) Ni(s)

Explanation:

The question inquires which of the substances listed in the options is composed of the metallic bond. This means that we have to carefully consider the options and identify which of them is a metal. Clearly, only Ni(s) is a metal.

Metallic bonds result from the electrostatic attraction between metal cations and delocalized electrons. The nature of metallic bonding accounts for many of the physical properties of metals, such as conductivity and malleability(Khan Academy).

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 $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

If a 0.10 M solution of a colored substance has a maximum absorbance at 500 nm and an absorbance of 0.26 M at this wavelength, w

Mashcka [7]

Absorbance is related to the concentration of a substance using the Beer-Lambert's Law. According to this law, absorbance is linearly related to concentration. However, this is only true up to a certain concentration depending on the substance. For this case, we assume that the said law is applicable.

A = kC
Using the first conditions, ewe solve for k.
0.26 = k (0.10)
k = 2.6

A = kC
A = 2.6 (0.20) = 0.52

Therefore, the absorbance at a concentration of 0.20 M and wavelength of 500nm is 0.52.

A person tries to heat up her bath water by adding 5.0 l of water at 80c to 60 l of water at 30c. what is the final temperature

Sophie [7]

We can calculate the final temperature from this formula :

when Tf = (V1* T1) +(V2* T2) / (V1+ V2)

when V1 is the first volume of water = 5 L

and V2 is the second volume of water = 60 L

and T1 is the first temperature of water in Kelvin = 80 °C +273 = 353 K

and T2 is the second temperature of water in Kelvin = 30°C + 273= 303 K

and Tf is the final temperature of water in Kelvin

so, by substitution:

Tf = (5 L * 353 K ) + ( 60 L * 303 K) / ( 5 L + 60 L)

= 1765 + 18180 / 65 L

= 306 K
= 306 -273 = 33° C
