The elements mercury and bromine are both liquids at room temperature, but mercury is considered a metal, and bromine is conside

red a non-metal. How can that be? Explain using properties you know of.

Answer:

At room temperature, mercury and bromine are of fluid consistency, it is because their melting or melting temperature is very low, so low that it reaches room temperature.

Compared to mercury and other metals, the more traditional metals have much higher melting temperatures.

On the other hand, bromine is not a metal, since it does not have the ability to oxidize with the presence of oxygen and also does not give up electrons.

Explanation:

Mercury in the periodic table is Hg, and bromine is Br

My high school chemistry is learning this and I don't understand it. "Heat is measured by the following equation:
tangare [24]

Answer:

you didn't ask a question so here is your explanation.

Explanation:

Q = mc∆T. Q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass of a substance (kg) c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K) ∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in"

Hydrogen sulfide,H2S, is a very toxic gas with a smell of rotten eggs. using the following: H2S+3/2 O2=SO2+H2O H2+1/2O2=H2O S+O2
Serga [27]

Answer:

ΔH = -20kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation of a compound is defined as the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements. For H₂S(g) the reaction that describes this process is:

H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum the enthalpies of several reactions to obtain the change in enthalpy of a particular reaction thus:

<em>(1) </em>H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) → SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) ΔH = -519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

The sum of -(1) + (2) + (3) gives:

<em>-(1) </em>SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) ΔH = +519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

<em>-(1) + (2) + (3): </em><em>H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g) </em>

<em>ΔH =</em> +519kJ - 242kJ - 297kJ = <em>-20 kJ</em>

Select ALL answers that apply to the total energy of a wave:
Verdich [7]

Answer:

(A) The shorter the wavelength, the more total energy the wave contains.

(B) The longer the wavelength, the less total energy the wave contains.

Explanation:

The wavelength (λ), frequency (f) and energy (E) are interrelated. This relationship between them is represented in the following equations:

λ = v/f and E = hf

Where;

λ = wavelength (m)

f = frequency (Hz)

E = energy (Joules)

v and h represents speed of light and Planck's constants respectively.

Combining both equations, E = hc/λ

This equation shows that ENERGY (E) is directly proportional to the frequency (f) but inversely proportional to the wavelength (λ). This means that "the shorter the wavelength, the more total energy a wave contains" and vice versa.

However, the higher the frequency, the more the total energy the wave contains and vice versa.
