PREDICT How do you think the atoms in metal elements are different from those in

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The atoms of metals have fewer valence electrons than the atoms of metals and metalloids.

Atoms of metals have only very few valence electrons in their outermost shells hence they donate electrons during bonding. However, atoms of nonmetals have more electrons in their outermost shells and rather accept electrons during bonding. The atoms of metalloids just have a number of valence electrons that are intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals and mostly share electrons in covalent bonds.

Similarly, atoms of metallic elements differ from each other in the number of valence electrons present in the valence shell of the atom of each element. For instance, sodium has one electron in the valence shell of its atom while aluminium has three electrons in the valence shell of its atom.

What is the pH of a 900 mL solution containing 3.40 grams of hydrocyanic acid

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$pH = 5.05$

Explanation:

pH is derived from the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. Hydrocyanic acid is HCN.

First, we shall figure out the moles of HCN:

$\frac{3.4g}{27.03g/mol} = 0.125786$

If HCN was a strong acid:

HCN has a 1:1 ratio of H+ ions, the moles of H+ is also the same.

To find the molarity, we now divide by Liters. This gets us:

$\frac{0.125786 moles}{0.9L} = 0.139762 M$

Finally, we plug it into the definition of pH:

$pH = -log[H^{+} ]$

$pH = -log(0.139762)$

$pH = 0.855$

However, since HCN is a weak acid, it only partially dissociates. The $K_a$ of HCN is $6.2 * 10^{-10}$ .

$K_a = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}$

We can use an ice table to determine that when x = H+,

$K_a = \frac{x^2}{0.125786-x}$

$[H^+] = 8.83*10^{-6}$

$pH = -log[H^{+} ]$

$pH = -log(8.83 * 10^{-6} )$

$pH = 5.05$

What is the correct and technical definition of an element?

xz_007 [3.2K]

1) In chemistry and physics, an element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler components by any non-nuclear chemical reaction. An element is uniquely determined by the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.- from google

hope this helps :) sorry if it doesn't

What is the equilibrium constant of pure water at 25C?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

In pure water, at 25C, the [H3O+] and [OH-] ion concentrations are 1.0 x 10-7 M. The value of Kw at 25C is therefore 1.0 x 10-14. Although Kw is defined in terms of the dissociation of water, this equilibrium constant expression is equally valid for solutions of acids and bases dissolved in water.

The gene for tallness (T) in a pea plant is dominant over the gene for shortness (t).

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

C. 75%

Explanation:

From a heterozygous cross (Tt x Tt) the produced offspring would consist of:

25% TT -it would be tall-.

50% Tt -it would be tall as the gene T is dominant-.

25% tt -it would not be tall-.

Thus the produced offspring that would be tall is (50% + 25%) 75%. The answer is option C.
