Which one has more mass a bag of cotton balls or a bag of nails and explain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago
6 0
You would think that the bag of nails would have more mass but their masses are identical. <span>If you were to put them both in a vacuum chamber and let them fall from a great height, they would fall the same speed. The vacuum chamber would suck all of the air out of the cotton balls, thus making it heavier and weigh the same as the bag of nails.

Hopefully this is helpful and makes sense.</span>

Use the periodic table to identify the element with the electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁴. Write its orbital diagram, and give th
natta225 [31]

Answer:

1. Orbital diagram

2p⁴   ║ ↑↓ ║  "↑"  ║   ↑

2s²    ║ ↑↓ ║

1s²     ║ ↑↓ ║

2. Quantum numbers

  • <em>n </em>= 2,
  • <em>l</em> = 1,
  • m_{l} = 0,
  • m_{s} = +1/2

Explanation:

The fill in rule is:

  • Follow shell number: from the inner most shell to the outer most shell, our case from shell 1 to 2
  • Follow the The Aufbau principle, 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p<7s<5f<6d<7p
  • Hunds' rule: Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied. All of the electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin (to maximize total spin).

So, the orbital diagram of given element is as below and the sixth electron is marked between " "

2p⁴   ║ ↑↓ ║  "↑"  ║   ↑

2s²    ║ ↑↓ ║

1s²     ║ ↑↓ ║

The quantum number of an electron consists of four number:

  • <em>n </em>(shell number, - 1, 2, 3...)
  • <em>l</em> (subshell number or  orbital number, 0 - orbital <em>s</em>, 1 - orbital <em>p</em>, 2 - orbital <em>d...</em>)
  • m_{l} (orbital energy, or "which box the electron is in"). For example, orbital <em>p </em>(<em>l</em> = 1) has 3 "boxes", it was number from -1, 0, 1. Orbital <em>d</em> (<em>l </em>= 2) has 5 "boxes", numbered -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
  • m_{s} (spin of electron), either -1/2 or +1/2

In our case, the electron marked with " " has quantum number

  • <em>n </em>= 2, shell number 2,
  • <em>l</em> = 1, subshell or orbital <em>p,</em>
  • m_{l} = 0, 2nd "box" in the range -1, 0, 1
  • m_{s} = +1/2, single electron always has +1/2

A 1.25 × 10-4 m solution of the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen has a ph = 4.2. the ka and pka of naproxen are ________ and ____
Mandarinka [93]

Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph= -1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.

What effect would a decrease or increase in barometric pressure have on the boiling point
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Pressure Affects the Boiling Point

Atmospheric pressure influences the boiling point of water. When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point becomes higher, and when atmospheric pressure decreases (as it does when elevation increases), the boiling point becomes lower.

U-238 has _____ protons and 146 neutrons
qaws [65]
U-238 
The number besides the U means its total molar mass. The molar mass of this element is 238
Molar mass= protons + neutrons
This means that 238= 146 + protons
Do 238 - 146
Answer is 92
