What is special about the kelvin temperature scale

1 answer:

5 0

Kelvin is a temperature scale designed so that zero degrees K is defined as absolute zero (at absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature, all molecular movement stops - all actual temperatures are above absolute zero) and the size of one unit is the same as the size of one degree Celsius.

When dissolving a solid or liquid, as the temperature of the solvent increases, the rate of dissolution?

Alinara [238K]

Answer:A. Increases

Explanation:

Heating or an increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of particles thereby increasing their motion and how they relate and react with one another.

Increase in the temperature of the solvent is directly proportional to the rate of dissolution. The rate of dissolution increases due to the increase in kinetic energy. This makes the solvent particles interact faster with the solute particles thereby increasing the dissolution rate.

Allushta [10]

Low pH = high acidity.
HF has a very low pH, so when added to a solution, it will lower the pH of the solution and therefore make it more acidic. So the answer should be B.

NikAS [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

Answer:

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

Explanation:

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $ns^{1-2}$

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $np^{1-6}$

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]$

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]$ . They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

Option 1: Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 2: Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

Option 3: In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^25p^1$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 4: Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 5: As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^3$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.

Option 6: Se

Selenium is the 34th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^4$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 7: Rn

Radon is the 86th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.
