Answer:

Tetrahedron

Explanation:

Each carbon atom in a diamond is covalently bonded to four other carbons in a tetrahedron. These tetrahedrons together form a three-dimensional network of six-membered carbon rings in the chair conformation, allowing for zero bond-angle strain.

If 43.1 g of O2 and 6.8 g of CO2 are placed in a 13.7 L container at 34 degrees C, what is the mixture of gasses?

jonny [76]

Answer:

The total pressure of the gas mixture = 2.76 atm

Note: The question is not complete. The complete question is as follow:

If 43.1 g of O2 and 6.8 g of CO2 are placed in a 13.7 L container at 34 degree Celsius , what is the pressure of the mixture of gases?

Explanation:

Mass of O₂ gas = 43.1 g, molar mass of O₂ gas = 32.0 g/mol

Number of moles of O₂ gas = 43.1/32.0 = 1.347 moles

Mass of CO₂ gas = 6.8 g, molar mass of CO₂ gas = 44.0 g

Number of moles of CO₂ gas = 6.8/44 = 0.155 moles

Total number of moles of gas mixture, n = (1.347 + 0.155) = 1.502 moles

Volume of gas mixture, V = 13.7 L

Temperature of gas mixture, T = 34 °C = (273.15 + 34) K = 307.15 K

Pressure of gas mixture = ?

Molar gas constant, R = 0.0821 liter·atm/mol·K.

Using the ideal gas equation: PV =nRT

P = nRT/V

P = (1.502 × 0.0821 × 307.15) / 13.7

P = 2.76 atm

Therefore, the total pressure of the gas mixture = 2.76 atm

When a piece of zinc metal is carefully placed in a beaker of strong acid, bubbles form on the surface of the metal and begin to

kati45 [8]

Answer:

A. a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:

The bubbles most likely indicates that a new substance is being produced by this reaction. In essence, we describe this sort of change as chemical change.

In a chemical change, new substances are usually produced. They are accompanied by the evolution or absorption of energy.

The reaction of Zinc with a strong acid to produce bubbles on the surface of the metal indicates a chemical change and the formation of a new kind of substance.

Take for example, let zinc reacts with hydrocholoric acid, HCl;

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

Since Zn is higher than Hydrogen in the activity series, it will displace it from HCl and liberate hydrogen gas as a product. This will cause the bubbles observed in the reaction.

This is a chemical change and new products have been formed.

B and D are wrong because they are both physical changes.

C is wrong because no information about such is provided by the problem statement.

So, when a piece of zinc metal combines with a strong acid, a new kind of substance is produced.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.

Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.

As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.

Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.

Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.
