A student has a balloon that looks shiny like a metal and wants to perform an experiment to determine if it contains any metal.

Which of the following procedures could possibly determine if the balloon contains metal? Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move. Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.
A. Charge the balloon, hold it near small pieces of paper, and see if it picks up any of the paper. Charge the balloon, hold it near small pieces of paper, and see if it picks up any of the paper.
B. Hold a positively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, then hold a negatively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, and observe whether the balloon acquires a net charge. Hold a positively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, then hold a negatively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, and observe whether the balloon acquires a net charge.
C. Hold a positively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, then hold a negatively charged rod near the uncharged balloon, and observe whether the balloon is attracted or repelled by the rods.

Answer:

Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.

Explanation:

The gold leaf electroscope is an instrument used to detect if a body is charged. It has two gold leafs suspended from a brass stem in a vacuumed glass jar and connected to a metal cap(Toppr).

When the test body is allowed to touch the metal cap, a change in the size of the leaves shows whether the body is charged or not.

Since we are suspecting the balloon to be made up of a metal; metals can be charged. We can test if there is really a charge on the balloon by bringing it near an electroscope to see if the electroscope moves.

Butane gas reacts with oxygen gas to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor (gas). If you mix butane and oxygen in the correct
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

118.776 mmHg

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

C4H10(g) + 13/2 O2(g) ------> 4CO2(g) + 5H20(g)

Now the mole ratio  according to the balanced reaction equation is;

1 : 6.5 : 4 : 5

Hence, the total number of moles present = 1 + 6.5 + 4 + 5 = 16.5 moles

Mole fraction of water vapour = 5/16.5 = 0.303

We also know that;

Partial pressure= mole fraction * total pressure

Partial pressure of H20(g) = 0.303 *  392 mmHg = 118.776 mmHg

The planet Mercury takes 176 days to do one spin around its pole. Compared to the Earth,
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The sun would appear to move more slowly across Mercury's sky.

Explanation:

This is because, the time it takes to do one spin or revolution on Mercury is 176 days (which is its period), whereas, the time it takes to do one spin or revolution on the Earth is 1 day.

Since the angular speed ω = 2π/T where T = period

So on  Mercury, T' = 176days = 176 days × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = ‭15,206,400‬ s

So, ω' = 2π/T'

= 2π/15,206,400‬ s

= 4.132 × 10⁻⁷ rad/s

So on  Earth, T" = 1 day = 1 day × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = ‭‭86,400‬ s

So, ω" = 2π/T"

= 2π/86,400‬ s

= 7.272 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Since ω' = 4.132 × 10⁻⁷ rad/s << ω" = 7.272 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s, <u>the sun would appear to move more slowly across Mercury's sky.</u>

The lattice structure in a metal is _____ than the lattice structure of an ionic compound.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
<span>The lattice structure in a metal is weaker than the lattice structure of an ionic compound. This is because the metals have free electrons which can freely move around while ionic compounds are strongly bonded. Hope this answers the question.</span>

What is the mass of a wooden block with a density 2.0 and a volume of 7.0? (Need answer ASAP!!)
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

mass= 14kg

Explanation:

density= mass/volume

so that means mass= volume x density

m= 2kg/m³ x 7m³

m= 14 kg

Hope this helps
