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.

What does it mean for a chemical to have a low potential energy?
katrin [286]
Low potential energy means there are fewer chemical bonds so H2O has Less than C6H12O6 because their are less valence electrons making bonds with others. in an endothermic reaction heat goes into the product so the reactants would have less potential energy.

An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (). Combustion of 7.50 of this compound produced 11.0 of carbon d
Sergeu [11.5K]
<span>Firstly, we know that M= m/n,  the main formula which shows the relationship between m, n, and M. The nknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, so we can get n(C)=m/M,  from M(C)= m(C)/n (C),  besides the stoechiometric equality, we have </span>

n( C)= m(C)/M(C ) = m(CO2)/ M(CO2)=11/44, because m(CO2)=11.0,  M(CO2)=44.01

so n(C )= 0.24moles,

Which is a nonpolar molecule?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A nonpolar molecule has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed. In other words, the electrical charges of nonpolar molecules are evenly distributed across the molecule. Nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve well in nonpolar solvents, which are frequently organic solvents. The answer is hydrogen cyanide.
