Can you use volume to measure out a mole of a gas? Why or why not?
Rashid [163]

The volume of a gas is defined by the volume of its container.  

However, given the number of moles, and standard temperature and pressure, you can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

Based on the information in the table, which of the following arranges the bonds in order of decreasing polarity?
patriot [66]

Polarity is the chemical property based on the electric charge and orientation of the poles. Al−O>H−Br>As−S is arranged in decreasing order of polarity. Thus, option d is correct.

<h3>What is polarity?</h3>

Polarity is a chemical property of the distribution of the electrical charges over their respective atom in the molecule joined by the bonds. The relation between the polarity and the difference in electronegativity is directly proportional.

The electronegativity difference between the elements are:

  • Al−O = 1.8
  • H−Br = 0.8
  • As−S = 0.4

As the electronegativity difference between Al−O = 1.8 is the highest it will have the highest polarity followed by H−Br = 0.8, and As−S = 0.4, with the lowest polarity.

Therefore, option D. Al−O>H−Br>As−S is arranged in decreasing order of polarity.

PLEASE HELP ASAP
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

To learn more about mass, refer to the below link:

Which of the following statements is true of proteins?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The answer is Denaturation is reversible

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is the process whereby there is a disruption in the tertiary, quaternary or secondary structure of proteins which causes a conformation change in its action

denaturation is reversible, that is, the proteins can regain their native state when the denaturing influence is removed. This process can be called renaturation.
