An element cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical or physical means. But you can still split a sample of an ele

ment into smaller pieces. For example, a piece of aluminum foil can be cut in half and then in half again, and all of the pieces will still be aluminum.What do you think will eventually happen if you could continue dividing that piece of aluminum foil
You will reach the smallest possible piece of the aluminum.
You will divide the aluminum into two smaller elements.
You will continue dividing the aluminum forever into smaller and smaller pieces.
You will reach a point at which there is no matter left.

Answer:

You will reach the smallest possible piece of the aluminum.

Explanation:

You will not be able to physically separate the aluminum into two smaller elements; aluminum is already a pure elemental substance. It will not divide forever, at some point it will be as small as you can possibly make it. However, you won't be able to erase the matter completely -- it will just become very very small!

What causes astronauts to appear to float in the space station?
sergij07 [2.7K]
They are in free fall. In a vacuum, gravity causes all objects to fall at the same rate, and since they all are falling together. The astronauts and other objects appear to float when compared with the spacecraft.

The planets in the solar system revolve around the Sun because the Sun is
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: Anyway, the basic reason why the planets revolve around, or orbit, the Sun, is that the gravity of the Sun keeps them in their orbits. ... If the Sun weren't there, the Earth would travel in a straight line. But the gravity of the Sun alters its course, causing it to travel around the Sun, in a shape very near to a circle

Iron is obtained by reaction of hematite (Fe2O3) with carbon monoxide. From the balanced reaction below, how many grams of iron
laila [671]

Answer: 2755.2 g of Fe will be produced from 24.6 mol of haematite.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Fe_2O_3 produce = 2 moles of Fe

Thus 24.6 moles of Fe_2O_3 will produce=\frac{2}{1}\times 24.6=49.2moles  of Fe  

Mass of Fe=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=49.2moles\times 56g/mol=2755.2g

Thus 2755.2 g of Fe will be produced from 24.6 mol of haematite.

What is the pH of a 900 mL solution containing 3.40 grams of hydrocyanic acid
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pH = 5.05

Explanation:

pH is derived from the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. Hydrocyanic acid is HCN.

First, we shall figure out the moles of HCN:

\frac{3.4g}{27.03g/mol}  = 0.125786

If HCN was a strong acid:

HCN has a 1:1 ratio of H+ ions, the moles of H+ is also the same.

To find the molarity, we now divide by Liters. This gets us:

\frac{0.125786 moles}{0.9L} = 0.139762 M

Finally, we plug it into the definition of pH:

pH = -log[H^{+} ]

pH = -log(0.139762)

pH = 0.855

However, since HCN is a weak acid, it only partially dissociates. The K_a of HCN is 6.2 * 10^{-10}.

K_a = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

We can use an ice table to determine that when x = H+,

K_a = \frac{x^2}{0.125786-x}

[H^+] = 8.83*10^{-6}

pH = -log[H^{+} ]

pH = -log(8.83 * 10^{-6} )

pH = 5.05

Calculate the concentration (M) of sodium ions in a solution made by diluting 25.0 mL of a 0.765 M solution of sodium sulfide to
Yuri [45]

<u>Given:</u>

Concentration of Na₂S = 0.765 M

Volume of Na₂S solution = 25.0 ml = 0.025 L

Final total volume = 225 ml = 0.225 L

<u>To determine:</u>

The concentration of Na+ ions

<u>Explanation:</u>

# moles of Na₂S = 0.765 * 0.025 = 0.0191 moles

Based on the atomic stoichiometry of Na₂S-

# moles of Na⁺ ions = 2*0.0191 = 0.0382 moles

conc of Na⁺ ions = 0.0382 moles/ 0.225 L = 0.169 M

Ans: [Na⁺] = 0.169 M
