Answer: A persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.
Explanation:
Non-volatile substance is defined as the one which does not readily evaporate into its surrounding. Generally, a non-volatile substance has strong intermolecular forces between its molecules.
A non-volatile substance will take more than 24 hours to remain on the surface.
On the other hand, a substance with weak intermolecular forces present in its molecules will readily evaporate into the atmosphere.
For example, acetic acid is a volatile substance and quickly evaporates into the atmosphere.
Thus, we can conclude that a persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.
Answer:
By placing the steel wool in a jar with plenty of oxygen and water, you start a chemical reaction. The iron and the oxygen react to form a new reddish-brown substance, called iron oxide or rust. In this experiment, the water level in the glass should rise as the oxygen inside combines with the iron in the steel wool.
Explanation:
Answer:We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.
mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g
mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g
Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound.
moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe
moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F
The empirical formula is therefore,
Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)
Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.
XeF₆
Explanation:
It is the 3rd option because hydrogen is NOT a metal.
