Answer:

Tin

Explanation:

Tin is an element which belongs to the carbon family in the periodic table. It lies in group 14 of the periodic table i.e. IV a.

The symbol of Tin is Sn. Tin has 50 electron in total. Its atomic number is 50. The 50 electrons of tin are divided in its five energy shells. The outer most or the valence shell contains 4 electrons in the ground state.

The number of electrons present per shell in tin is : 2, 8, 18, 18, 4.

The electronic configuration of tin is : [Kr] 4d¹⁰5s²5p²

How many grams of the excess reactant are left over according to the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 g of Al and 1

valentinak56 [21]

<span>4 Al + 3 O2 → 2 Al2O3

(10.0 g Al) / (26.98154 g Al/mol) = 0.37062 mol Al
(19.0 g O2) / (31.99886 g O2/mol) = 0.59377 mol O2

0.37062 mole of Al would react completely with 0.37062 x (3/4) = 0.277965 mole of O2, but there is more O2 present than that, so O2 is in excess.

((0.59377 mol O2 initially) - (0.277965 mol O2 reacted)) x (31.99886 g O2/mol) =
10.1 g O2 left over</span><span>

What is the volume in liters of 321 g of liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL

Rasek [7]

Density is weight by volume.

First. If you divide the weight by density you can find the volume

Second you must convert the ML in to Liters.

$\frac{321 \frac{g}{1}}{0.84 \frac{g}{mL}} = \frac{321(g)(mL)}{0.84g}=\frac{321mL}{0.84}=382.14mL$

1L=1000ml

$\frac{1L}{1000mL}$

$(382.14mL)( \frac{1L}{1000mL})= \frac{(382.14mL)(L)}{1000mL} =\frac{382.14L}{1000}=0.38214L$

0.38214 Liters.

B to C:-

The temperature remains constant from B to C in any time interval .
Looking at the graph there is BC || x axis.
Hence temperature remains unchanged.

E to D:-

Here also the temperature remains constant.
As we can see ED|| x axis
