Answer:

They all belong to the p block in the periodic table

Explanation:

Let us examine the electronic configuration of each element;

Oxygen - [He] 2s2 2p4

Silicon - [Ne] 3s2 3p2

Selenium - [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4

A common thread that joins all the elements listed above is that they all belong to the p-block in the periodic table. They could be collectively referred to as p-block elements.

Be sure to answer all parts. In the electrolysis of molten BaI2, (a) What product forms at the negative electrode? (b) What prod

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

(a) Barium is produced at the negative electrode

(b) Iodine is produced at the positive electrode

Explanation:

When an electric current is passed through a solution containing electrolyte, a non spontaneous reaction is stimulated. This results in the flow of positively charged ions to negatively charged electrodes(cathode) and negatively charged ions to positively charged electrodes(anode)

When an electric current is passed through molten $BaI_{2}$ in the electrolytic cell, the following reactions takes place:

$BaI_{2}$ → $Ba^{2+}$ + 2 $I^{-}$

At the anode;

Iodine ions will lose an electron and will be oxidized to iodine

$2I^{-}$ → $I_{2}$ + $e^{-}$

At the cathode;

Barium ions gains electrons and its reduced to barium metal

$Ba^{2+}$ + $2e^{-}$ → Ba

Answer:

His mistake was that he also gave the plants in the music room some fertilizer

Explanation:

When carrying out a reliable experiment, the only variable should be the question being tested. The question here is whether playing music for plants helps them grow faster. Therefore, all the plants should be grown in exactly the same conditions apart from the presence or absence of music.

However, Jo also added fertilizer to the plants in the room where music was playing. Therefore, we don't know whether the fertilizer or the music caused the plants to grow faster.

Instead, Jo should have not given fertilizer to any of the plants, or given fertilizer to all the plants.

Jim wants to react hydrogen and oxygen to get 36 grams of water. If he starts with 4 grams of Hydrogen (H), then how many grams

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Mass of Oxygen = 32 grams

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of water = 36 grams

Mass of Hydrogen = 4 grams

Find:

Mass of Oxygen

Computation:

Using Law of Conservation of mass

Mass of water = Mass of Hydrogen + Mass of Oxygen

36 grams = 4 grams + Mass of Oxygen

Mass of Oxygen = 32 grams

You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.182 M aluminum sulfate for an experiment in lab, using a 250 mL volumetric flask. How

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Hence, 15.99 g of solid Aluminum Sulfate should be added in 250 mL of Volumetric flask.

Explanation:

To make 0.187 M of Aluminum Sulfate solution in a 250 mL (0.250 L) Volumetric flask

The molar mass of Aluminum Sulfate = 342.15 g/mol

Using the molarity formula:-

Molarity = Number of moles/Volume of solution in a liter

Number of moles = Given weight/ molar mass

Molarity = (Given weight/ molar mass)/Volume of solution in liter

0.187 M = (Given weight/342.15 g/mol)/0.250 L

Given weight = 15.99 g
