Give the formulas for the following
zubka84 [21]

Li2O

Fe(NO3)3

Al2O3

CuCl2

ZnSO4

All you have to do here is make sure your charges are balanced when you write the compound. For example, Iron (III) has a +3 charge, and nitrate has a -1 charge. You need 3 nitrates to match that charge, hence Fe(NO3)3.

What is the volume of 1.50 lb (pounds) of mercury? The density of mercury is 13.546 g/mL. Use the conversion that 1 kg = 2.20 lb
Arada [10]

Answer:

50.3mL of mercury are in 1.50lb

Explanation:

Punds are an unit of mass. To convert mass to volume we must use density (13.546g/mL). Now, As you can see, density is in grams but the mass of mercury is in pounds. That means we need first, to convert pounds to grams to use density and obtain volume of mercury.

<em>Mass mercury in grams:</em>

1.50lb * (1kg / 2.20lb) = 0.682kg = 682g of mercury.

<em>Volume of mercury:</em>

682g Mercury * (1mL / 13.546g) =

<h3>50.3mL of mercury are in 1.50lb</h3>

What is the specific latent heat of a fussion for a substance that takes 550 kj to melt 14 kg at 262 k?
Lina20 [59]

The latent heat is correlated with energy as follows:

Q = mL

550 * 103 = 14 * 103 * L

L = 39.285 J /g

Thus, latent heat of the substance is 39.285 j /g

Consider the positions of barium (Ba), sulfur (S), silicon (Si), and calcium (Ca) on the periodic table. The atoms of which elem
Rudiy27
Element      atomic number       position

Ba              56                             group 2, period 6

Ca              12                             group 2, period 3

S                16                             group 16, period 3

Si               `14                            group 14, period 3


Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.


The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.


The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.


The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the  elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.

The table below lists the properties of a metallic element. Shiny, Silver colored, Forms +1 and +2 ions, compound with sulfur is
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Group 12

Explanation:

A metallic element that is shiny and silver colored that can exist in the +1 and +2 ionic states and  which forms a bright red compound with sulfur is mercury, Hg

The compound formed between mercury and silver is one of the earliest synthetic compound also known as vermilion and cinnabar. The bright red pigment of the HgS is used widely and is one of the most favorite pigment found in medieval European outstanding works of arts and in Chinese decorated wares made of lacquer as well as in mesoAmerica.
