Each element tries to achieve stability by forming a noble gas configuration (2 or 8 valence electrons)

Carbon has 4 valence electrons, achieving stability requires 4 more electrons

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, achieving stability requires 1 more electron

Carbon and hydrogen bond covalently by sharing their electrons so that they become stable (carbon binds 4 hydrogens) to form CH₄ (methane)

A carbon iota can bond with four other iotas and is just like the four-hole wheel, whereas an oxygen iota, which can bond only to two, is just like the two-hole wheel.

Which one of Newton's Laws fits this statement: More mass means more force needed to accelerate?

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law

Explanation:

Newton's second law basically states that the acceleration of a body which is produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of net force applied in the same direction.

This tells us that

F is directly proportional to a

⇒ F= ma

So we can also state from the above equation, that when we have more mass, we need more net force to accelerate it. Here, we are keeping the acceleration constant so we can surely say that force and mass varies directly.

Therefore, we have made good use of Newton's Second Law of motion to arrive at this conclusion.

A sample was prepared by mixing 18. ml of 3.00 x 10^-3 m crystal violet (cv) with 2.00 ml of 0.250 m naoh. calculate the resulti

Aleks [24]

Answer : The resulting concentrations of CV and NaOH are 0.0027 M and 0.025 M respectively.

Explanation :

Step 1 : Find moles of crystal violet and NaOH.

The molarity formula is

$Molarity = \frac{mol}{L}$

Molarity of crystal violet = $3.00 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{mol (CrystalViolet)}{L}$

The volume of crystal violet solution is 18 mL which is 0.018 L.

Moles of crystal violet = $3.00 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.018 = 5.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Moles of crystal violet = 5.4 x 10⁻⁵

Moles of NaOH = $Molarity \times L = 0.250 \times 0.00200 = 5.00 \times 10^{-4}$

Moles of NaOH = 5.00 x 10⁻⁴

Step 2 : Find total volume of the solution

The total volume of the solution after mixing NaOH and crystal violet is

0.018 L + 0.00200 = 0.020 L

Step 3 : Use molarity formula to find final concentrations

Molarity of crystal violet = $\frac{mol(CrystalViolet)}{Total Volume(L) } = \frac{5.4 \times 10^{-5}}{0.020} = 2.7 \times 10^{-3}$

Final concentration of CV = 0.0027 M

Molarity of NaOH= $\frac{mol(NaOH)}{Total Volume(L) } = \frac{5.00 \times 10^{-4}}{0.020} = 0.025 \times 10^{-3}$

NaOH is a strong base and dissociates completely as follows.

$NaOH (aq) \rightarrow Na^{+} (aq) + OH^{-} (aq)$

The mole ratio of NaOH and OH⁻ is 1:1 . Therefore the concentration of OH⁻ is same as that of NaOH.

Concentration of OH⁻ = 0.025 M

Calculate the silver ion concentration in a saturated solution of silver(i) sulfate (ksp = 1.4 × 10–5).

deff fn [24]

Answer:

= 0.030 M

Explanation:

We can take x to be the concentration in mol/L of Ag2SO4 that dissolves

Therefore; concentration of Ag+ is 2x mol/L and that of SO4^2- x mol/L.

Ksp = 1.4 x 10^-5

Ksp = [Ag+]^2 [SO42-]

= (2x)^2(x)

= 4x^3

Thus;

4x^3 = 1.4 x 10^-5

= 0.015 M

molar solubility = 0.015 M

But;

[Ag+]= 2x

Hence; silver ion concentration is

= 2 x 0.015 M

= 0.030 M

Could a mixture be made up of only elements and no compounds. explain

lbvjy [14]

Yes, because a mixture is 2 or more substances that are mixed together (not chemically). A mixture could be two different elements physically combined in a set ratio.
