What are the representative elements? Where are they located
WINSTONCH [101]
The representative elements are elements where the s and p orbitals are filling. The transition elements are elements where the d orbitals (groups 3–11 on the periodic table) are filling, and the inner transition metals are the elements where the f orbitals are filling.

A 15.0 ml sample of gas at 10.0 degree Celsius and 760 torr changes to a pressure of 1252 torr at 35.0 degree Celsius. What is t
netineya [11]

Answer:

9.91 mL

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation as follows;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (torr)

P2 = final pressure (torr)

V1 = initial volume (mL)

V2 = final volume (mL)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

V1 = 15.0mL

V2 = ?

P1 = 760 torr

P2 = 1252 torr

T1 = 10°C = 10 + 273 = 283K

T2 = 35°C = 35 + 273 = 308K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

760 × 15/283 = 1252 × V2/308

11400/283 = 1252V2/308

Cross multiply

11400 × 308 = 283 × 1252V2

3511200 = 354316V2

V2 = 3511200 ÷ 354316

V2 = 9.91 mL

33.23 grams of a thin sheet of iron is completely oxidized in 7 days. How would you express the rate of conversion of the silver
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

A. 0.0440 moles/day

Explanation:

First, let's figure out how many moles 33.23 grams of silver is. We do this by dividing the number of grams by the molar mass of silver, which is 107.87 g/mol:

33.23 g Ag ÷ 107.87 g/mol = 0.3081 mol Ag

Now, let's divide this by 7 to get the rate per day:

0.3081 mol Ag ÷ 7 days = 0.0440 mol/day

Thus, the answer is A.

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.
N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . Al_2O_3

2. TiO_2

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

  • The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
  • The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide (Sc_2O_3) is an oxide in which Sc^{3+} behaves as cation and O^{2-} behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . Al_2O_3

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation Al^{3+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. TiO_2

This is because the charge on the cation Ti^{4+} is greater than that of Sc^{3+} and also the size of the cation Ti^{4+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

How could you verify that you produced carbon dioxide in your combustion reaction? 2. what indication did you have that nh3 was
DanielleElmas [232]

1) Carbon dioxide is a gas, so when CO_{2} is evolved in the reaction, it appears as bubbles. The gas released extinguishes the fire and it can turn lime water milky.

Ca(OH)_{2} (aq) + CO_{2}(g) ----> CaCO_{3}(s) +H_{2}O(l)

2) When NH_{3} is released in a decomposition reaction we can identify by the strong pungent smell of the gas released.

3) Saturated citric acid can cause corrosion of the metal layers present in the pipes. So, before draining out any acid it is neutralized so that the pipes and other plumbing works do not get damaged leading to leaks in the drainage system.
