6 0

Answer:

a Sodium

Explanation:

The solid in this reaction is the sodium metal. A solid is a substance held together by attractive forces that are very strong.

Solids have a fixed shape and volume.

  • Metals are solids
  • Sodium is an alkali metal belonging to the first group on the periodic table.
  • This solid combines with the liquid water.
  • The product is an aqueous sodium hydroxide.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2s2sp63s23p64s2 How many valance electrons does this atom have?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)

1s2 -> He....

2s2 -> Be....

2p6 -> Ne...

3s2 -> Mg...

3p6 -> Ar...

4s2 -> Ca.

Describe the three main types of plate boundary interactions:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

In the explanation

Explanation:

Divergent: When two plates are diverging from each other, meaning that the two plates are moving away from each other. Events that may occur include ridges or rifts.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other.

If a continental plate and an oceanic plate are converging, the oceanic plate would slide underneath the continental plate since it is thinner. This would result in subduction, which means that part of the oceanic plate would hang underneath the continental plate, where magma can melt the hanging part.

If two continental plates are converging, the crash would result in mountains or volcanic activity. Magma could rise and rush from the crack. There would be a bump in these tectonic plates.

Transform: When two plates are sliding past each other. Earthquakes can occur when the plates are sliding. When an oceanic plate is involved, the movement of the plates could cause a tsunami as well. The water above the transform fault could rise, and grow bigger and bigger. The 2011 Japan Tsunami is a good example of this.

Hope this helps!

A 20.0 g piece of a metal is heated and place into a calorimeter containing 250.0 g of water initially at 25.0 oC. The final tem
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Q_{metal} = -6799\,J

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics, the piece of metal and water reaches thermal equilibrium when water receives heat from the piece of metal. Then:

Q_{metal} = - Q_{w}

Q_{metal} = m_{w} \cdot c_{p,w}\cdot (T_{1}-T_{2})

Q_{metal} = (250\,g)\cdot \left(4.184\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (25\,^{\textdegree}C - 31.5\,^{\textdegree}C)

Q_{metal} = -6799\,J
