Answer:

B. P (Phosphorus)

Explanation:

The element is be phosphorus.

This is true because phosphorus has a larger atomic radius than carbon. If you move than the group, elements gain additional electron shell. That additional electron shell keeps electrons far from the nucleus of the atom. This actually increases the atomic radius. Also, phosphorus is more electronegative than aluminum because phosphorus itself is a non-metal and non-metals are generally electronegative while aluminum is a metal and electropositive.

Phosphorus has a lower ionization energy than argon because the ionization energy across the period (i.e from left to right) increases and across period 3, you will find phosphorus first before argon in the periodic table.

Determine which of the following pairs of reactants will result in a spontaneous reaction at 25°C. None of the above pairs will

Alla [95]

Answer:

Only $Fe^{3+}+Mg$ gives spontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction will be spontaneous if standard reduction potential ( $E^{0}$ ) of the reaction is positive. Because it leads to negative standard gibbs free energy change ( $\Delta G^{0}$ ), which is a thermodynamic condition for spontaneity of a reaction.

$E^{0}=E^{0}(reduction)-E^{0}(oxidation)$

Where $E^{0}(reduction)$ and $E^{0}(oxidation)$ represents standard reduction potential of reduction half cell and standard reduction potential of oxidation half cell.

(1) Oxidation: $Mg-2e^{-}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}$ ; $E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=-2.38V$

Reduction: $Fe^{3+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow Fe$ ; $E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}=-0.04V$

So, $E^{0}=E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}-E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=(-0.04+2.38)V=2.34V$

Hence this pair will give spontaneous reaction.

(2) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Pb^{2+}\mid Pb}^{0}-E_{Au^{+}\mid Au}^{0}=(-0.13-1.69)V=-1.82 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(3) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Ag^{+}\mid Ag}^{0}-E_{Br_{2}\mid Br^{-}}^{0}=(0.80-1.07)V=-0.27 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(4) Similarly as above, $E^{0}=E_{Li^{+}\mid Li}^{0}-E_{Cr^{3+}\mid Cr}^{0}=(-3.04+0.74)V=-2.30 V$

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

If a mixture looks smooth and the same throughout it is probably what

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:
If a mixture looks smooth and the same throughout it is probably Homogeneous.

Explanation:
Mixture is the combination of different compounds which are unreactive to each other.

Mixture are classified as ...

Solutions; in which the mixed compounds are thoroughly mixed and cannot be distinguished from each other and are said to be homogeneous. In solutions the size of solute is very small (i.e. Less than 1 nm).

Colloids; in which the solute is homogeneous visually but heterogeneous microscopically. The size of particles in this case is between 1 nm to 1 μm.

Suspensions; in which the mixture is heterogeneous, the particle size is greater than 1 μm and settles down (precipitation) under the influence of gravity.

Which statement best describes the formula equation cl1(g) + 2kbr(aq) —> 2kcl(aq)+br2(i)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + KBr (aq) → KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

Balanced chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + 2KBr (aq) → 2KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

This equation showed that the chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine it displace the bromine from potassium and form potassium chloride solution.

The given equation is balanced and completely hold the law of conservation of mass.

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

A student observes that water in a pot on a burner becomes hotter explain how energy is conserved in the situation

Daniel [21]

The water in the pot becomes hotter as a result of heat transfer.

Energy can be transferred from a region to another , but there will still the same overall amount of energy ( energy conservation)

When a pot containing water is placed on the stove and heat is applied with the burner, there is a flow of heat from the burner to the water.

Heat will be transferred from the burner to the pot, then there will be transferred of heat from the pot to the water, the molecules there in the water will be energized as a result of the heat transfer until the boiling point is reached.

Energy transfer can take place in three form, this could be conduction, radiation or convention.

Convention which is a cyclical process is the one that occurs in fluids only so as a result of convection , the water at the bottom will be heated and the molecules start moving and it will rise till it get to the water at the top of the pot.

Therefore, the water is heated as a result of heat transfer.
