Explanation:

Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.

  • These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
  • They prefer to alloy with themselves.
  • Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
  • The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.

The volume of an ideal gas is held constant. Determine the ratio P2/P1 of the final pressure to the initial pressure when the te
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

A. P₂ / P₁ = 2

B. P₂ / P₁ = 1.1

Explanation:

A. Determination of the ratio P₂/P₁

Volume = constant

Initial temperature (T₁) = 46 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 92 K

Final pressure /Initial pressure (P₂/P₁) =?

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₁/46 = P₂/92

Cross multiply

46 × P₂ = P₁ × 92

Divide both side by P₁

46 × P₂ / P₁ = 92

Divide both side by 46

P₂ / P₁ = 92 / 46

P₂ / P₁ = 2

B. Determination of the ratio P₂/P₁

Volume = constant

Initial temperature (T₁) = 35.4 °C = 35.4 + 273 = 308.4 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 69.0 °C = 69 + 273 = 342 K

Final pressure /Initial pressure (P₂/P₁) =?

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₁/308.4 = P₂/342

Cross multiply

308.4 × P₂ = P₁ × 342

Divide both side by P₁

308.4 × P₂ / P₁ = 342

Divide both side by 308.4

P₂ / P₁ = 342 / 308.4

P₂ / P₁ = 1.1

Which of the following statements is not true for an exothermic reaction? Question options: The products have a higher heat cont
dsp73

Answer:

The products have a higher heat content than the reactants.

Explanation:

The statement above is not true for an exothermic reaction because in an exothermic reaction heat is released to the surroundings. This simply means that the total energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.

For the following formula, C4H9Cl, calculate the IHD and select all the types of unsaturation that might be present in the molec
Airida [17]

Answer:

The IHD = 0

There is no unsaturation in the compound C4H9Cl

Explanation:

IHD = Index for Hydrogen Deficiency .It determines total number of unsaturation or Pi- bond present in the molecule.It is calculated using the formula:

For Molecule:

C_{c}H_{h}O_{o}N_{n}X_{x}

Here . C = carbon

H = Hydrogen

O = Oxygen

N = Nitrogen

X = Halogen

The IHD is calculated as :

\frac{2c-h-x+n+2}{2}...............(1)

For example :

C4H8O2

Here c = 4 , h = 8 , o = 2 .

n = x=0

Put the value in equation (1) and find IHD

\frac{2(4)-8-0+0+2}{2}

\frac{8-8+2}{2}

\frac{2}{2}

IHD = 1

For C4H9Cl

c = 4 , h = 9 and  x = 1

IHD for this molecule can be calculated as :

\frac{2c-h-x+n+2}{2}

\frac{2(4)-9-1+2}{2}

\frac{8-9-1+2}{2}

= 0

This means there is no unsaturation in the molecule.

Each bond is sigma bond and properly saturated.

How many moles are there in 990 grams of sugar, C12H22011? (Sig Figs, do not
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sugar  = ?

Mass of sugar = 990 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁:

12× 12 + 22×1.008 + 16×11 = 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 990 g / 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.89 mol
