8 0

Answer:

One type of evidence that strongly supported the Theory of Continental Drift is the fossil record. Fossils of similar types of plants and animals in rocks of a similar age have been found on the shores of different continents, suggesting that the continents were once joined.

Which two reactants make Calcium carbonate?

Norma-Jean [14]

Impossible to form from given reactants

Explanation:

Only sodium has carbonate ion here .so only possible way to displace carbonate is to use potassium

When sodium carbonate and Potassium iodide react with each other double displacement reaction occurs

As potassium is powerful than sodium it displaces sodium to form potassium carbonate .

Then you have to use water and then you can use calcium suppliment .

What is meant by term valency? Explain it in terms of electrons donations and acceptance.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Valency can be defined as a measure of the combining power of a chemical element with other atoms to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Valency can be defined as a measure of the combining power of a chemical element with other atoms to form a molecule or chemical compound.

Typically, valency is measured by the amount of hydrogen atoms that a chemical element can combine with or displace to form a molecule or chemical compound.

For example, Oxygen has a total number of eight (8) electrons while neon has total number of ten (10) electrons. Therefore, an atom of oxygen is able to gain (accept or receive) two (2) more electrons in order to have the same electron arrangements as the noble gas i.e an atom of neon with an atomic number of 10.

The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide yields oxygen gas and water, according to the reaction given below. In an exper

elixir [45]

Answer:

The molar concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 0.01164 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of gas yielded = 75.3 mL = 0.0753 L

Temperature = 25.0 °C

Atmosphere = 0.976 atm

(Water = 0.032 atm at 25°C)

The original volume of H2O2 is 500 mL

Molar mass of O2 =32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2H2O2(aq) → 2 H2O(l) + O2(g)

Step 3: Calculate pressure of O2

P = P(02) + P(water)

P(O2) = P - P(water)

P(O2) = 0.976 atm - 0.032 atm

P(O2) = 0.944 atm

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

p*V=n*R*T

⇒ with p = the pressure of O2 gas = 0.944 atm

⇒ with V= the volume of O2 = 0.0753 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles of O2

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 25°C = 298 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (0.944 * 0.0753)/(0.08206*298K)

n = 0.00291 moles O2

Step 5: Calculate moles of H2O2

For 1 mole of O2 produced, we need 2 moles of H2O2

For 0.00291 moles O2 we need 2*0.00291 = 0.00582 moles H2O2

Step 6: Calculate molar concentration of H2O2

Molar concentration = moles / volume

Molar concentration = 0.00582 moles / 0.500L

Molar concentration = 0.01164 M

The molar concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 0.01164 M
