Answer:

The different ways to represent compounds are chemical formulas and molecular models. There are so many ways to represent compounds so that a particular formula can be used depending upon how much information is provided and how much is needed to be share.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.6 grams of gaseous neon from

Alona [7]

Answer:

Approximately $1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

Look up the specific heat of gaseous neon:

$c = 1.03 \; \rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$ .

Calculate the required temperature change:

$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of a sample of specific heat $C$ . Energy required to raise the temperature of this sample by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ .

For the neon gas in this question:

$c = 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}$ .
$m = 10.6\; \rm g$ .
$\Delta T = (37.9 - 20.0)\; \rm K = 17.9\; \rm K$ .

Calculate the energy associated with this temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T \\ &= 1.03\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 10.6\; \rm g \times 17.9\; \rm K \\ &\approx 1.95 \times 10^{2}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

What are you suppose to do for number 8?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

See the images below

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,

a. Silicon.

Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.

b. Xenon

Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.

c. Calcium

Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.

d. Water

Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.

Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.

Calculate the mols for 4.2g of a Mg

hjlf

Answer:

0.175mol

Explanation:

Mole of a substance can be calculated using the formula as follows:

number of moles (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

According to this question, there are 4.2g of Magnesium (Mg).

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24g/mol, hence, the number of moles of 4.2g of Mg is as follows:

n = 4.2g ÷ 24g/mol

n = 0.175mol

Burning gas on a stovetop transforms chemical energy into what other types of energy?

svp [43]

Answer:

Burning gas on a stove top transforms chemical energy into thermal energy.

Explanation:

Cooking food involves in two types of energies. They are chemical energy and thermal energy. 

We use gas for a gas stove.Here gas is chemical energy.when we light the stove the fire lits up and here the chemical energy energy is converted into thermal energy.

Breaking and combining of bonds during combustion gives heat and light.This thermal energy heats the vessels and cooks the food through the process of conduction, convection and radiation.
