Chemistry

Answer:

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.

What is the mass of a sample of metal that is heated from 58.8°C to 88.9°C with a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 333 \ grams}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a sample of metal. We are given temperatures, specific heat, and joules of heat, so we will use the following formula.

Q= mc \Delta T

The heat added is 4500.0 Joules. The mass of the sample is unknown. The specific heat is 0.4494 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The difference in temperature is found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.

  • ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature

The sample was heated <em>from </em> 58.8 degrees Celsius to 88.9 degrees Celsius.

  • ΔT= 88.9 °C - 58.8 °C = 30.1 °C

Now we know three variables:

  • Q= 4500.0 J
  • c= 0.4494 J/g°C
  • ΔT = 30.1 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

4500.0 \ J = m (0.4494 \ J/g \textdegree C)(30.1 \textdegree C)

Multiply on the right side of the equation. The units of degrees Celsius cancel.

4500.0 \ J = m (13.52694 J/g)

We are solving for the mass, so we must isolate the variable m. It is being multiplied by 13.52694 Joules per gram. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 13.52694 J/g

\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= \frac{m (13.52694 J/g)}{13.52694 J/g}

The units of Joules cancel.

\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= m

332.6694729 \ g =m

The original measurements have 5,4, and 3 significant figures. Our answer must have the least number or 3. For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 6 in the tenth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.

333 \ g \approx m

The mass of the sample of metal is approximately <u>333 grams.</u>

What is the difference between a contractor and a starter
Lunna [17]
"A contactor is a electrically controlled switch which uses an electromagnetic coil to pull in the contacts.”

"A motor starter is a contactor, plus an overload relay that will drop out the coil voltage if the motor overloads. If there is not overload relay, it is not a starter any longer, it's back to being just a contactor."
