Answer:

sulfide ion

Explanation:

however, when non-metalic elements gain electrons to form anions the end of their name is change to "-ide".foe example, a flourin atom gains one electronto become a flouride ion(F`) and sulfur gains two electrons to become a sulfide ion(s^2)

How much (mL) of a 2.0 M sodium hydroxide solution would it take to neutralize 50 mL of a 6.0 M solution of hydrochloric acid?

Tom [10]

Answer:

150ml

Explanation:

For this question,

NaOH completely dissociates. It is a strong base

HCl also completely dissociates. It is a strong acid

So we have this equation

m1v1 = m2v2 ----> equation 1

M2 = 2m

V1= ??

M2 = 6m

V2 = 50m

When we input these into equation 1, we have:

2m x v1 = 6m x 50ml

V1 = 6m x 50ml/2

V1 = 300/2

V1 = 150ml

Therefore NaOH that is required to neutralize the solution of hydrochloric acid is 150ml.

Thank you

fish give off the compound ammonia which has a pH above 7 to which class of compounds does ammonia belong

jasenka [17]

Answer:
The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline

Explanation:
We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:
acids: these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
neutral: these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
alkalies: these are compounds having pH values higher than 7

This is shown in the attached image

We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.

Hope this helps :)

What are two reasons why scientists use the metric system

omeli [17]

The metric system is used because it is based on the number 10. Ten is easy to use for mathematical operations and conversions.

It is also easy to use for scientific notation when you are referring to powers of ten. There are extremely large and extremely small numbers in science. Thus, scientific notation allows for accurate abbreviated ways to symbolize these numbers. For instance, if I were to say 1,000, in scientific notation it would be 1 x 10 ^3. If I was to say 1,000,000, I would scientifically write 1 x 10 ^6.

What is packing fraction ? state the formula used to calculate it. thankyou ~

slava [35]

Answer:

<h2>please mark me brainliest</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Packing fraction is defined as a way of expressing the variation of isotopic mass from whole mass number (atomic mass). This fraction can have positive or can have negative sign. A positive packing fraction describes a tendency towards instability.</h2><h2>The equation for packing fraction is: Packing fraction = (N atoms) x (V atom) / V unit cell. N atoms is the number of atoms in a unit cell. V atom is the volume of the atom, and V unit cell is the volume of a unit cell. Substitute the number of atoms per unit cell into the equation.</h2>
