Define the terms octet rule.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Why do you think it is important to use the same blanace throughout the entire experiment?
Zepler [3.9K]

It is important to use the same balance throughout the entire experiment since the calibration of each balance is not the same and changing balances could result in a systematic error.

There are three types of errors that could affect the results of the experiment. The effect of random or indeterminate errors is hard to predict, its effect on the results of the experiment could be different every time. The second type of error is the systematic or determinate error, which causes a shift in results in a specific direction. The last type of error in an experiment is human error.

The type of error that could be related to the use of different balances throughout the experiment is the systematic error. Instruments could be a source of error especially if they are poorly calibrated. Also, analytical balances are calibrated differently which may result in inaccuracy in the weighing of chemicals.

A class of substances known as __________ are used for their medicinal properties.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: Alkaloids

A class of substances known as alkaloids are used for their medicinal properties.

Explanation:

Alkaloids are small but complex organic substances with at least one nitrogen atom in its ring structure. Hence, they have strong basic properties, and are produced in naturally by some plants.

Examples of alkaloids and their medicinal properties are as follows:

- caffeine, used in certain drug and drinks to stimulate the nervous system

- morphine, used to reduce pain and induce sleep in humans.

- cocaine, nicotine etc

klemol [59]

Hurricanes derive their energy from the Latent heat of condensation.

Hence, Option (1) is correct answer.

<h3>What is Latent Heat ? </h3>

The heat that is released or absorbed during a phase change of a substance is known as Latent heat.

<h3>What is Hurricanes ?</h3>

Hurricanes is basically a type of storm called a tropical cyclone. These are intense low pressure areas. Hurricanes derive their energy from the latent heat of CONDENSATION.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Hurricanes derive their energy from the Latent heat of condensation.

Hence, Option (1) is correct answer.

If the volume of wet gas collected over water is 85.0 mL at 20°C and 760 mm Hg , what is the volume of dry gas at STP conditions
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: 77.4 mL

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of dry gas = (760 - 17.5) mmHg= 742.5 mm Hg

P_2 = final pressure of dry gas at STP =  760 mm Hg

V_1 = initial volume of dry gas = 85.0 mL

V_2 = final volume of dry gas at STP = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of dry gas = 20^oC=273+20=293K

T_2 = final temperature of dry gas at STP = 0^oC=273+0=273K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final volume of wet gas at STP

\frac{742.5mmHg\times 85.0ml}{293K}=\frac{760mmHg\times V_2}{273K}

V_2=77.4mL

Volume of dry gas at STP is 77.4 mL.
