4. Why does the metallic character of the alkaline earth metals increase as you go down the

1 answer:

4 0

As you proceed down the periodic table, the metallic character becomes stronger. This is because as the atomic radius increases, there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons due to the greater distance between them, making electrons simpler to shed.

A forensic chemist is given a white powder for analysis. She dissolves 0.50 g of the substance in 8.0 g of benzene. The solution

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The given compound cannot be cocaine.

Explanation:

The chemist can comment on the nature of compound being cocaine or not from the depression in freezing point.

Depression in freezing point of is related to molality as:

Depression in freezing point = Kf X molality

Where

Kf = cryoscopic constant = 4.90°C/m

depression in freezing point = normal freezing point - freezing point of solution

depression in freezing point = 5.5-3.9 = 1.6°C

1.6°C = 4.90 X molality

$molality=\frac{1.6}{4.90} = 0.327 m$

we know that:

$molality=\frac{moles}{mass of solvent(kg)}=\frac{moles}{0.008kg}$

therefore

moles = 0.327X0.008 = 0.00261 mol

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

$molarmass=\frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{0.50}{0.00261}= 191.57g/mol$

The molar mass of cocaine is 303.353

So the given compound cannot be cocaine.

This thermogram shows a person using a computer. Complete the sentence to describe the flow of thermal energy between the person

sergejj [24]

<h2>Answer : The thermal energy will flow from the computer to the person.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

Usually computer are such devices which converts electrical energy into thermal energy and then it gets transferred to the person. The energy flows from the higher amount to lower amount. In this case, computer is producing higher thermal energy than the person that's the reason for the flow of energy from computer to the person.

Give the quantum number set for one electron in the 3p sub level of a sulfur (S)

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:- Atomic number for sulfur is 16 and it's electron configuration is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^4$ . Here, there are total for electrons in 3p and the set of quantum numbers for these 4 electrons would be as..

For the first electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = -1 and ms = +(1/2)

for the second electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = 0 and ms = +(1/2)

for the third electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = +1 and ms = +(1/2)

and for the fourth electron of 3p-

n = 3, l = 1, ml = -1 and ms = -(1/2)
