Decide whether the element is a metal or nonmetal, if you can.

Chemistry
1 answer:
SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The element is a nonmetal

Explanation:

Elements are broadly classified into metals and non metals. Metals conduct electricity while non metals do not conduct electricity.

If we look at this scenario described in the question, we can easily decipher that the element is a nonmetal because the LED stays dark. The LED should have been lit if electricity was passed through the element in question.

Hence, the element is a non metal.

What is the pH of 0.26 M ammonium ion? NH4+(aq) + H2O(1) NH3(aq) + H30* (aq) a. 4.33 b.9.25 c. 3.87 d. 4.92 e. 4.75
choli [55]

Answer:

b) pH = 9.25

Explanation:

  • NH4+(aq)  +  H2O(l)  ↔  NH3(aq)  +  H3O+(aq)
  • NH3 + H2O ↔ NH4+  +  OH-
  • 2 H2O ↔ H3O+  +  OH-

⇒ Kb = [ NH4+ ] * [ OH- ] / [ NH3 ] = 1.86 E-5......from literature

mass balance NH4+:

⇒ M NH4+ = [ NH4+ ] - [ OH- ]

∴ [ NH3 ] ≅ M NH4+ = 0.26 M

⇒ Kb = (( 0.26 + [ OH- ] )) * [ OH- ] / 0.26 = 1.86 E-5

⇒ 0.26 [ OH-] + [ OH- ]² = 4.836 E-6

⇒ [ OH- ]² + 0.26 [ OH- ] - 4.836 E-6 = 0

⇒ [ OH- ] = 1.859 E-5 M

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 1.859 E-5 )

⇒ pOH = 4.7305

⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 9.269

3. A gram food sample is burned completely in a calorimeter that contains 1000. of water The temperature of the water increases
lidiya [134]

The food has 23629.64 cal

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 1000 g of water

temperature increases 23.65 * C

Required

The energy of the food

Solution

Heat absorbed by water :

Q = m . c . Δt

Q = 1000 g x 4.184 J/g°C x 23.65 °C

Q = 98951.6 J

1 Joules = 0.2388 Calories

98951.6 J = 23629.64 cal

Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:Releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar

Explanation: homoestasis is the process by which the body keep it's internal environment constant, regardless of change in the external environment. The human body has a normal range in which it's system operates and it uses homoestasis to keep these at constant.

Homeostasis could be positive or negative. It usually involves a sensor which detects the changes in the body and passes the information to the control center, a control center which receive information from the sensor and sends signals to the effectors and the effector which acts on the information sent by the control center to effect normalcy.

In this case, when a person eats food,he gets glucose. Blood sugar most be kept at constant so the endocrine system release the hormone insulin. Insulin helps to convert glucose to glycogen, which is the form it can be stored in the liver

When the blood sugar levels is low, the brain which is the control center causes glucagon to be released . This hormone converts glycogen to glucose
