Answer:

can only be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

In the early days of inorganic chemistry, the structure of complex ions remained a mystery hence the name ''complex''.

These ions appear to have structures that defied accurate elucidation. However, by diligent laboratory investigation, Alfred Werner was able to accurately determine the structure of cobalt complexes. As a result of this, he is regarded as a pathfinder in coordination chemistry.

Hence, the structure of complex ions can only be determined experimentally.

What is capillary action? Describe how capillary action shown by water is useful for plants and animals on Earth.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Look Below

Explanation:

Capillary action is adhesion of water. In plants, capillary action allows water to move from the roots to leaves. In animals, capillary action plays a role in respiration where oxygen-poor blood oxygenates in the capillaries.

Hiii pls help me to write out the ionic equation

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

STEP I

This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-

$2KOH_{(aq)} + H_2SO_4{}_{(aq)} \rightarrow K_2SO_4{}_{(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$

STEP II

The compounds marked with (aq) are soluble ionic compounds. They must be

broken into their respective ions.

see, in the equation KOH, H2SO4, and K2SO4 are marked with (aq).

On breaking them into their respective ions :-

2KOH -> 2K+ + 2OH-
H2SO4 -> 2H+ + (SO4)2-
K2SO4 -> 2K+ + (SO4)2-

STEP III

Rewriting these in the form of equation

$\underline{\pmb{2K^+} }+ 2OH^- + 2H^+ + \pmb{\underline{{SO_4{}^{2-}}} \: \rightarrow \: \underline{\pmb{2K^+}}} + \underline{\pmb{SO_4{}^{2-}}} + 2H_2O$

STEP IV

Canceling spectator ions, the ions that appear the same on either side of the equation

(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)

$\boxed{ \mathfrak{ \red{ 2OH^-{}_{(aq)} + 2H^+{(aq.)} \rightarrow H_2O{}_{(l)}}}}$

This is the net ionic equation.

$\mathfrak{\underline{\green{ Why\: KOH \:has\: been\: taken\: as\: aqueous ?}}}$

KOH has been taken as aqueous because the question informs us that we have a solution of KOH. by solution it means that KOH has been dissolved in water before use.

3. Students measured the mass of the reactants and products for a combustion reaction they observed.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

A. Students made a measurement error, because ending with more products is impossible.

Explanation:

The law of conversation of matter tells us that in a chemical reaction, matter is never created or destroyed, it's simply converted from one form to another. So the mass of reactants should always equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction. If there is excess mass in the product, the students have made an error of some kind.

Electrons move in what is called an atoms electron _______. Plz help me

kupik [55]

Electrons move in what is called an electron cloud. Each atom has its own electron cloud associated with it. This region simply represents an area or likelihood within that an electron of corresponding energy can be found within.
