Generally speaking, gold is not very reactive, whereas sodium is highly reactive. They are most definitely not in the same group since sodium is in group 1 and Gold is in group 11. Gold is indeed a transition metal so my best guess would be D.

Hi There! :)

Which elements in the periodic table are metalloids or have semimetallic properties?

Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, and Polonium are all metalloids. Some people consider Astatine a metalloid

If acetic acid is the only acid that vinegar contains (ka=1.8×10−5), calculate the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

kicyunya [14]

Ethanoic (Acetic) acid is a weak acid and do not dissociate fully. Therefore its equilibrium state has to be considered here.

$CH_{3}COOH \ \textless \ ---\ \textgreater \ H^{+} + CH_{3}COO^{-}$

In this case pH value of the solution is necessary to calculate the concentration but it's not given here so pH = 2.88 (looked it up)

pH = 2.88 ==> $[H^{+}]$ = $10^{-2.88}$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

The change in Concentration Δ $[CH_{3}COOH]$ = 0.001 $moldm^{-3}$

  CH3COOH H+ CH3COOH
Initial   $moldm^{-3}$      $x$ 0 0

Change $moldm^{-3}$ -0.001 +0.001 +0.001

Equilibrium $moldm^{-3}$ $x$ - 0.001 0.001 0.001


Since the $k_{a}$ value is so small, the assumption
$[CH_{3}COOH]_{initial} = [CH_{3}COOH]_{equilibrium}$ can be made.

$k_{a} = [tex]= 1.8*10^{-5} = \frac{[H^{+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]} = \frac{0.001^{2}}{x}$

Solve for x to get the required concentration.

note: 1.)Since you need the answer in 2SF don&t round up values in the middle of the calculation like I've done here.

2.) The ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table may come in handy if you are new to problems of this kind

Hope this helps!

The water for the pan is not saturated with co2. will the reported percent caco3 in the original sample be too high, too low, or

enot [183]

Co2 will dissolve in water if water is saturated with Co2 first then it will absorb some of CO2 it appear as less is absorb that was actually the case . this would make it appear as present of CACO3 is in original sample is lower than it will be too low

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 x 108 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a circ

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

0.13 s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 24900 mile to metres (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mile = 1609.344 m

Therefore,

24900 mile = 24900 mile × 1609.344 m / 1 mile

24900 mile = 4.01×10⁷ m

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for light to circumnavigate the Earth, this can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 4.01×10⁷ m

Speed = 2.998×10⁸ m/s

Time =?

Speed = distance / time

2.998×10⁸ = 4.01×10⁷ / time

Cross multiply

2.998×10⁸ × time = 4.01×10⁷

Divide both side by 2.998×10⁸

Time = 4.01×10⁷ / 2.998×10⁸

Time = 0.13 s

Thus, it will take 0.13 s for light to circumnavigate the Earth.
