Maggie is solving a chemistry riddle her clue is to take the number of valence electrons in halogens and subtract it by the numb

Novay_Z [31]

The answer to the riddle Maggie is solving is 6

To determine the answer to the riddle Maggie is solving,

We will subtract the number of valence electrons in halogens by the number of valence electrons in alkali metals.

First, let us define what is meant by valence electrons

Valence electrons are those electrons that reside in the outermost shell surrounding an atomic nucleus.

Now, we will the determine the respective number of valence electrons in halogens as well as the number of valence electrons in alkali metals.

For Halogens

Halogens are the group 17 (group 7A) elements in the periodic table. Examples are Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine etc.

Halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost shell

For Alkali metals

Alkali metals are the group 1 metals. Examples are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium etc.

Alkali metals have 1 electron in their outermost shell

Now, for the answer to the riddle,

Answer to the riddle = Number of valence electrons in halogens - Number of valence electrons in Alkali metals

\

Answer to the riddle = 7 - 1

∴ Answer to the riddle = 6

Hence, the answer to the riddle Maggie is solving is 6

Suppose new evidence is found about how Bernoulli's principle works. What is likely to happen?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

B. The theory might be modified if necessary.

B. nearly all scientists agree that it is correct

Explanation:

B. The theory might be modified if necessary.

The Bernoulli's principle relates the speed of fluid to their pressures. It simply states that when the speed of fluids increases there is a drop in pressure.

Supposing we find new evidence about how the principle works, the normal scientific thing to do is to modify the existing principle. New information and observations about a principle would only provide a modification to the existing one. An example is the Dalton's atomic theory, which was centered on the atom being the smallest indivisible particle: the theory was later modified when new ideas about the atom surface.

B. nearly all scientists agree that it is correct

Before a hypothesis is adopted to the context of scientific principle, the ideas behind it must have tested and must be repeatable. Different sources will verify the authenticity of such scientific claim to see if such can be adopted. Therefroe, nearly a large numbr of scientists must agree that it is correct.

a student used 10 mL water instead of 30 mL for extraction of salt from mixture. How may this change the percentage of NaCl extr

Anit [1.1K]

It will be extracted only 1/3 of NaCl less in 10 mL of water than in 30 mL of water.

If it is known that solubility of NaCl is 360 g/L, let's find out how many NaCl is in 30 mL of water:

360 g : 1 L = x g : 30 mL

Since 1 L = 1,000 mL, then:
360 g : 1,000 mL = x g : 30 mL

Now, crossing the products:
x · 1,000 mL = 360 g · 30 mL
x · 1,000 mL = 10,800 g mL
x = 10,800 g ÷ 1,000
x = 10.8 g

So, from 30 mL mixture, 10.8 g of NaCl could be extracted.

Let's calculate the same for 10 mL water instead of 30 mL.

360 g : 1 L = x g : 10 mL

Since 1 L = 1,000 mL, then:
360 g : 1,000 mL = x g : 10 mL

Now, crossing the products:
x · 1,000 mL = 360 g · 10 mL
x · 1,000 mL = 3,600 g mL
x = 3,600 g ÷ 1,000
x = 3.6 g

So, from 10 mL mixture, 3.6 g of NaCl could be extracted.

Now, let's compare:
If from 30 mL mixture, 10.8 g of NaCl could be extracted and from 10 mL mixture, 3.6 g of NaCl could be extracted, the ratio is:
3.6/10.8 = 1/3

Therefore, it will be extracted only 1/3 of NaCl less in 10 mL of water than in 30 mL of water.
