A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the
omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$

Thus the correct option is (a).

There are 34 questions on a test. John answers 22 correctly. What is Johns percent error?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

35 . 29%

Explanation:

no. of questions in test =34

no. of questions answered correctly =22

therefore, no. of questions answered incorrectly =34 - 22

=12

error percentage = 12/34 * 100

=35 .29 %

calculate the heat required in joules to convert 18.0 grams of water ice at a temperature of -20 c to liquid water at the normal
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat required to convert ice to ice at 0⁰C

= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

= 18 x 2.09 x 20

= 752.4 J .

heat required to convert ice at 0⁰C to water at 0⁰C

mass x latent heat of fusion

= 18 x 336

= 6048 J

Heat required to increase the temperature of water to 100⁰C

= 18 x 4.2 x 100

= 7560 J

Total heat required

7560 + 6048 + 752.4

= 14360.4 J

What kind of bond will form between the atoms?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

ionic bond:

Bond formed when an atom donates its electron and other atom receives those electrons.

polar covalent:

Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Nonpolar covalent:

Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Metallic:

Formed between two metals.

So the bond between :

Phosphorus and chlorine-polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Potassium and oxygen -ionic bond as here potassium donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons

Fluorine and fluorine -Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Copper and aluminum-metallic bond as Formed between two metals.

Carbon and fluorine -polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Carbon and hydrogen --Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Aluminum and oxygen--ionic bond as here aluminum donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons

Silver and copper --metallic bond as Formed between two metals.
