Answer: False, I believe.
Explanation: If a Hypothesis is proven correct, then another experiment to strengthen that Hypothesis is should be done.
Explanation:
The generated Na+ and OH-ions are immediately surrounded by molecules of water (typically 6, each). There is the development of the exothermic hydration sphere for each ion. It seems as though there is negative overall energy of dissolving solid NaOH.
Now, since this dissolution is exothermic the temperature of the mixture rises.
Answer:
(c) P and Sb
Explanation:
We can determine the number of valence electrons of an element:
- If it belongs to Groups 1 and 2, the number of valence electrons is equal to the number of group and the differential electron occupies the s subshell.
- If it belongs to the groups 13-18, the number of valence electrons is equal to: "Number of group - 10" and the differential electron occupies the p subshell.
Which pair of elements have the same valence electronic configuration of np³?
(a) O and Se. NO. They belong to the group 16 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np⁴.
(b) Ge and Pb. NO. They belong to the group 14 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np².
(c) P and Sb. YES. They belong to the group 15 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np³.
(d) K and Mg. NO. They belong to the groups 1 and 2 and the valence electron configuration is ns¹ and ns².
(e) Al and Ga. NO. They belong to the group 13 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np¹.
You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example
CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O
If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.
However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.
Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.
You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.
So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.
