What are metalloids?

Chemistry

Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Metalloid, in chemistry, an imprecise term used to describe a chemical element that forms a simple substance having properties intermediate between those of a typical metal and a typical nonmetal. There is no single property which can be used to unambiguously identify an element as a metalloid.

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.

How long will it take for a 750 mg sample of radium with a half life of 15 days to decay to exactly 68mg?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

52 da  

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a question asks you, "How long to reach a certain concentration?" or something similar, you must use the appropriate integrated rate law expression.

The i<em>ntegrated rate law for a first-order reaction </em>is  

ln([A₀]/[A] ) = kt

Data:

[A]₀ = 750 mg

 [A] =    68 mg

t_ ½ =   15 da

Step 1. Calculate the value of the rate constant.

 t_½ = ln2/k     Multiply each side by k

kt_½ = ln2         Divide each side by t_½

      k = ln2/t_½

         = ln2/15

         = 0.0462 da⁻¹

Step 2. Calculate the time

ln(750/68) = 0.0462t

         ln11.0 = 0.0462t

            2.40 = 0.0462t     Divide each side by 0.0462

                   t = 52 da

Identify whether each reaction represents a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by filling in the blank with the word ‘chemi
valkas [14]
A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction between two or more substances that produces new substances/compounds.

On the other hand, a nuclear reaction is a reaction that alters the nucleus of a certain atom. This can be done either by splitting the nucleus or by joining this nucleus with another one.

Reaction 1:
Cl₂ + H₂ ............> 2 HCl
This is the combination of two elements to produce a new compound.
Therefore, this reaction is a chemical reaction

Reaction 2:
²₁H + ³₁H .........> ⁴₂H + ¹₀n
This is an alteration in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom by bonding it with another nucleus.
Therefore, this reaction is a nuclear reaction

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following would release the most heat? Assume the same mass of in each case. Specific heats of ice, liquid water, a
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The process which releases most heat is E)

Explanation:

As we know that water freezes at 0ºC and vaporizes at 100ºC, we calculate the heat as follows:

  • Processes with temperatures < 0ºC : by using specific heat of ice (Sh ice) multiplied by the change in temperature (ΔT= Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)⇒ Sh ice x ΔT
  • Processes of ice melting (at 0ºC): by using heat of fusion of ice (ΔH fus) multiplied by a conversor factor (1 mol H20= 18 g)⇒ ΔHfus x 1mol/18g
  • Processes between 0ºC and 100ºC: by using specific heat of liquid water (Sh liq) multiplied by change in temperature ⇒ Sh liq x ΔT
  • Processes of water evaporation (at 100ºC): by using heat of vaporization (ΔH vap) multiplied by the conversor factor ⇒ ΔH vap x 1mol/18 g
  • Processes at a temperature >100ºC: by using specific heat of water vapor (Sh vap) multiplied by the change in temperature ⇒ Sh vap x ΔT

A) Water at -25ºC is ice. Ice is heated from -25ºC to 0ºC, then it melts at 0ºC (ice became liquid water) and then liquid water is heated from 0ºC to 70ºC. T

This is the only process in with the heat is absorbed (not releases), so it cannot be the right answer, but we calculate the heat involved to practice:

Heat= (Sh ice x ΔT) + (ΔH fus x 1/18 g) + Sh liq x ΔT

Heat= (2.05 J/g ºC x (0ºC -(-25ºC) ) + (6.01 x 10³ J/mol x 1 mol/18 g) + (4.18 J/g ºC x (70ºC-0ºC)

Heat= 51.25 J + 333,8 J +292.6 J

Heat= 677.65 J (heat is absorbed)

B) Water is cooled from 13ºC to 0ºC, then it is freezed at 0ºC and then the ice is cooled from 0ºC to -2.6 ºC

Heat= (Sh liq x ΔT) + (-ΔH melt x 1/18 g) + (Sh ice x ΔT)

Heat= 4.18 J/ºC x (0ºC- 13ºC) + (-6.01 x 10³ J/mol x 1mol/18 g) + (2.05 J/ºC x (-2.5ºc - 0ºC)

Heat= -54.34 J - 333.8 J + 5.33 J

Heat= -393.47 J (heat is released)

C) Liquid water is cooled from 74ºC to 95ºC

Heat= Sh liq x ΔT

Heat= 4.18 J/ºC x (74ºC - 95ºC)

Heat = -87.78 J (heat is released)

D) Water at 140ºC is in vapor state. Vapor at 140ºC is cooled to 110ºC (still vapor).

Heat = Sh vap x ΔT

Heat= 2.01 J/ºC x (110ºC - 140ºC)

Heat= -60.3 J (heat is released)

E) Vapor at 106ºC is cooled to 100ºC, then it condenses at 100ºC (convertion from gas to liquid), and liquid water is cooled from 100ºC to 88ºC.

Heat= (Sh vap x ΔT) + (-ΔHvap x 1mol/18g) + (Sh liq x ΔT)

Heat= (2.01 J/ºC x (100ºC-106ºC)) - (40.7 x 10³ J/mol x 1mol/18 g) + (4.18 J/ºC x (88ºC -100ºC)

Heat= -2323.32 J (heat is released) <u>THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER</u> (the more negative= the more released)

A filament of a light bulb is made from a pure sample of tungsten.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The correct options are:

1) Pure chemical substance

2) Element.

Explanation:

each of the term is explained below:

1) <u>Mixture: </u> Since tungsten is an element in periodic table thus it is not a mixture.

2) False by definition of mixture.

3) false by definition of mixture.

4) <u>Solution:</u> Tungsten in a filament is in solid form hence solution is incorrect.

5) Since it is given in the question itself that the sample is pure hence option 'E' is correct as chemical substance is a pure substance that has a homogeneous composition and the sample in the question is given as pure.

6) <u>Compound:</u> By definition of compound it is formed by mixing 2 or more elements but since tungsten is an element that occurs independently in nature hence it is not a compound.

7) Tungsten is a element in the periodic table with atomic number 74.
