Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

Left

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

Right

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Left

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

Right

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.

What quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of 460g of aluminum from 15C to 85C?

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Q = 28.9 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Aluminium, m = 460 g

Initial temperature, $T_i=15^{\circ} C$

Final temperature, $T_f=85^{\circ}$

We know that the specific heat of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\Q=460\ g\times 0.9\ J/g^{\circ} C\times (85-15)^{\circ} C\\\\Q=28980\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\Q=28.9\ kJ$

So, 28.9 kJ of heat is required to raise the temperature.

How is gas different from a liquid

satela [25.4K]

The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids orliquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid

2. What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} \text { and } \mathrm{Cl} \text { - ions are present in } 1: 2 \text { ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride. }$

Explanation:

Here in Calcium Chloride ionic bond is present in between calcium and chlorine atoms. As we know according to Octet rule calcium have two excess atoms and for matching nearest noble gas electronic configuration. It donate two electrons to gain more stability and form $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ , while chlorine is deficient from one electron to meet nearest noble gas electronic configuration therefore two chlorine atoms accept excess electron from calcium individually and form two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions.

$\text { Equation is as follows: } \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$

Hence aqueous solution of calcium chloride breaks the ionic bond pairing in one $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions: $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(\mathrm{ag})+2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{ag})$

HELP PLS !!!! :))Formula unit of Sr and CI Formula unit of AI and S

xenn [34]

Answer : The formula unit of Sr & Cl is $SrCl_2$ and the formula unit of Al & S is $Al_2S_3$

Explanation :

Formula unit : it is defined as the lowest number ratio of ions of an elements in an ionic compound or covalent compound.

For the formula unit of Sr & Cl, two chloride ions $(Cl^-)$ are needed to neutralize the one strontium ion $(Sr^{2+})$ .

For the formula unit of Al & S, three sulfide ions $(S^{2-})$ are needed to neutralize the two aluminium ion $(Al^{3+})$ .

The formula unit of $SrCl_2$ and $Al_2S_3$ are shown below.

If an object is not moving its kinetic energy is zero. True False

Svetach [21]

Answer: This is true because kinetic energy depends on speed. If there's no speed, then there is no kinetic energy.
