Answer:

Whether you get the metal or hydrogen during electrolysis depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series: the metal will be produced if it is less reactive than hydrogen. hydrogen will be produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen.

If the graph of y = a x 2 + b x + c does not intersect the x -axis, then what is true about the roots? Both are real roots. Both

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Both roots are imaginary roots.

Explanation:

Consider these things:

If we try to solve x²+1 = 0, notice that we aren't able to solve the equation in Real Number system because there are no negative outputs for quadratic function.

Remember that quadratic function has range greater or equal to the max-min value.

x-axis plane represents the solutions of that equation. If a graph intersects x-axis plane then it has a solution.

While a graph that doesn't have any intersects on x-plane, it means that the equation for that graph doesn't have real solutions but imaginary solutions.

As you may notice some of parabola graph has one intersect, two intersects or none. One intersect is one solution to the equation — Two intersects are two solutions of the equation and lastly, no intersects mean that no real solutions and remain only imaginary solution.

Both diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon. Diamond has a high tensile strength but graphite does not.

<h3>What is a molecular model?</h3>

A molecular model is used to describe the actual behavior of a chemical compound based on the kind of bonds that exists in the molecule. Now we are talking about diamond and graphite.

Graphite is composed of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms that form layers that are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces hence they can slide over each other. This is the reason why graphite does not have a high tensile strength.

On the other hand, diamond is made up of octagonal rings of carbon atoms which are rigid and form a strong covalent network solid that explains why graphite has a high tensile strength.

Identify each statement as true or false. Explain in every case.a.Ionization energies are always negative quantities.b.Oxygen ha

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) FALSE

(b) FALSE

(d) FALSE

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed for removal of a valence electron present in valence shell of a gaseous atom.

(a) The value of ionization energy of an atom is always positive. This is because energy has to be always supplied or provided to a gaseous atom for the removal of the valence electron.

Therefore, the statement (A) is false

(b) The ionization energy of an atom increases across a period i.e. from left to right. This is because the effective nuclear charge that is experienced by the valence electron increases from left to right in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases.

So, more energy is required to remove the valence electron of fluorine as compared to oxygen.

Therefore, the ionization energy of fluorine is greater than oxygen.

Therefore, the statement (B) is false

(c) First ionization energy is energy needed for removal of first electron present in valence shell of a neutral atom. Whereas, second ionization energy is the energy needed for removal of second electron present in valence shell of a monovalent cation

The second ionization energy of an atom is always greater than the first ionization energy. This is because removing an electron from a positively charged species, requires more energy.

Therefore, the statement (C) is true

(d) The third ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove the third electron from a divalent cation.

Therefore, the statement (D) is false

A 1.68 g sample of water is injected into a closed evacuated 5.3 liter flask at 65°C. What percent (by mass) of the water will b

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

50.4 % of the water will be vapor

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of water = 1.68 grams

volume of the flask = 5.3 L

Temperature = 65°C

Vapor pressure of water at 65°C = 187.5 mmHg = 0.2467 atm

Step 2: Calculate moles of H2O

p*V=n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure of water = 0.2467 atm

⇒ V = the volume of the flask = 5.3 L

⇒ n = moles of water

⇒ R = gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/ K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 65°C = 338 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (0.2467 * 5.3) /(0.08206* 338)

n = 0.047 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = moles of water * molar mass of water

Mass of water = 0.047 moles *18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 0.84694 grams

Step 4: Calculate the percent of water vaporized

% = (0.84694 grams/1.68 grams) *100%

% = 50.4%

50.4 % of the water will be vapor
