Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Most of the elements found on earth are metals. A look at the periodic table shows that these elements occupy the entire left-hand stretch of the table, from the main group, through the transition metals, lanthanides, actinides, alkali and alkaline earth elements. One element included here, hydrogen, is rarely classified as a metal. On earth, hydrogen is a gas, and it is usually classified as a non-metal, like oxygen and nitrogen. However, at very low temperatures and very high pressures, hydrogen is a solid, and under the right conditions it is expected to behave more like a metal. It is thought that gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system, may have metallic hydrogen cores. Metallic elements are not generally found as single atoms. Instead, the atoms in an element such as iron cluster together to make a larger structure. The materials formed in this way have some similar properties. Metals are shiny. Metals are malleable; they can be bent and formed into different shapes (at least when heated). Metals are good conductors of electricity. In metals, large groups of atoms cluster together. Metal atoms form large, extended arrays, with the atoms repeating in specific patterns throughout the solid.

The properties of metals are really important. The fact that metals are malleable allows them to be formed into sheets that can be used to make cars, airplanes, railway lines, cargo containers and ships, as well as more delicate items such as jewelry and surgical tools. A related property, ductility, allows metals to be stretched into long, thin wires. Together with the conductivity of metals, this property allows transmission lines to carry electricity from generating stations to people like you. Sometimes, the source of electricity is hundreds of miles away; electricity used to power a laptop in New York may come from places like La Grande Baleine or James Bay, in northwestern Quebec. Some of these properties can be understood by thinking about the structure of metallic elements. A great deal of our structural understanding of metals and other materials comes from x-ray diffraction studies. A very focused beam of x-rays can be sent into a material, where they will bounce off the atoms and scatter in different directions. The outcome sounds chaotic, but if the solid is highly organized, the x-rays behave in very predictable ways. The result is an x-ray diffraction pattern. A diffraction pattern is a little like the pattern of ripples on a pond when a stone is thrown into calm water. The pattern can be studied and decoded mathematically to find the locations of the atoms within the material. X-ray diffraction can reveal the atomic-level structures of highly ordered materials such as metals. What does x-ray diffraction tell us? Evidently, a chunk of metal is not just a mass of atoms stuck together randomly. Instead, the atoms arrange themselves in neat layers in very specific ways. These layers of atoms sit on top of each other to form a three-dimensional solid. One of the properties that results from this organized arrangement of atoms is the malleability of metals. If you take a nice, soft metal such as copper, after annealing it in a fire or oven, it can be bent and shaped easily. With copper, this can be done even after the metal has cooled to room temperature. When you bend the copper, you are actually causing layers of atoms to slide over each other, until you stop bending and they come to rest in a new location. If you have ever done this, you'll know that the more you work with the copper, the harder it is to bend. That's because while you are sliding layers of atoms back and forth, occasionally an atom (or an entire row of atoms) slips out of place. It is no longer part of a smooth layer, and so other atoms can't slide past it as easily. This situation is called a defect. Once there are enough defects in the metal, it is impossible to bend the material anymore. Metal atoms are found in organized layers. Because these layers can roll over each other, metals can be worked into different shapes.

Use the following thermochemical equation:
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) + 2NaCl(s) + 822 kJ
A certain reaction releases 471 kJ of heat. What mass of NaCl
was produced in the reaction?

Answers

The mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) produced from the reaction when 471 KJ of heat is released is 67.04 g

Balanced equation

2Na + Cl₂ —> 2NaCl   ΔH = + 822 kJ

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Mass of NaCl from the balanced equation = 2 × 58.5 = 117 g

SUMMARY

From the balanced equation above,

When 822 KJ of heat is released, 117 g of NaCl were produced.

How to determine the mass of NaCl produced

From the balanced equation above,

When 822 KJ of heat is released, 117 g of NaCl were produced.

Therefore,

If 471 KJ of heat is released, then = (471 × 117) / 822 = 67.04 g of NaCl will be produced

Thus, 67.04 g of NaCl were obtained from the reaction

what is one advantage of doing a feild experiment instead of a laboratory experiment

Answers

Answer:

  Field experiments can often have the potential to give scientists opportunities that are not possible in a lab setting.

Explanation:

  Having people "act natural" in a lab setting is impossible to truly achieve, as we all know what happens to our mental state and behavior when we are being actively observed. This is also especially helpful when conducting wildlife research, as there are a myriad of different things influencing animal and plant behavior that would be nigh impossible to recreate perfectly in a controlled lab setting.

  Field research can have its disadvantages as well, as it is very hard to only have one thing change (make an independent variable) in a wild environment with ever-changing weather, social effects, etc. Also, you, as the researcher, as causing an impact on the very location that you are observing, which can alter your results in unpredictable ways.

  The thing to remember is that each type of study has its advantages and disadvantages; if they didn't, then we'd all do the same type of research! You have to weigh your research options and figure out which one works best for your situation :)

What mass in grams of SO2 is needed to
react with 1527 g of O2?

Answers

Answer:

6116g

Explanation:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) + 2H2O(ℓ) −→ 2H2SO4(ℓ)

We want to find the mass in grams of SO2 that is needed to react with 1527 g of O2. First we must convert the grams of O2 to moles of O2 then to moles of SO2 and then to grams of SO2

So first lets find the molar mass of O2

The mass of oxygen according to a periodic table is 15.999

Using this the mass of O2 would be 15.999(2) = 31.988g

Next we need to identify the mole ratio of O2 to SO2

Looking at the equation for 1 mole of O2 there are two moles of SO2

Next we need to find the molar mass of SO2

Again the mass of oxygen is 15.999g and the mass of Sulfur is 32.066

So the mass of SO2 would be 15.999(2) + 32.066 = 64.064g

Now that we have found all the needed conversions :

1 mol O2 = 31.988g 1 mol O2 = 2 mol SO21 mol SO2 = 64.064g

We can now use dimensional analysis to calculate the answer.

Kindly check the attached image to see the table. ( sorry if its a bit blurry )
Explanation : The conversions are used to cancel out the units to get to the final unit which is gSO2.

Once the units are cancelled out except for the gSO2 we mutliply and divide based off of what the table says to do.
Here first we divide 1527 by 31.988. We than multiply by 2. Finally we multiply by 64.064 to get the final answer which is 6116gSO2

Suppose you have a sample of table salt (NaCl) that has a mass of 100.0 grams. If
this amount of salt is added to a large beaker and filled with water until the total
volume is 2 liters, what is the concentration of this solution in units of Molarity?
Please do not include any units in your answer.

Answers

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].

Definition of molarity

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}[/tex]

Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].

Molarity of NaCl

In this case, you have:

number of moles of NaCl= [tex]100 grams\frac{1 mole}{58.45 grams} =[/tex]1.71 moles (being 58.45 g/mole the molar mass of NaCl)volume 2 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{1.71 moles}{2 L}[/tex]

Solving:

Molarity= 0.855 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

Finally, the concentration of the solution is 0.855 [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].

A 35.3g of element M is reacted with nitrogen to produce 43.5g of compound M3N2.what is (i) the molar mass of the element (ii) Name.of the element

Answers

The molar mass of M is 40.2 g/mol and the name of the element is Calcium.

35.3g of element M reacted with nitrogen to produce 43.5g of compound M3N2.

Chemical reaction

3M + N₂→ M₃N₂

Therefore,

let the molar mass of element = x

35.3 g of M = 43.5 g of  M₃N₂

3x g of M = 3x + 28

cross multiply

35.3(3x + 28) = 43.5(3x)

105.9x + 988.4 = 130.5x

988.4 = 130.5x - 105.9x

988.4  = 24.6x

x = 988.4 / 24.6

x = 40.1788617886

x = 40.2

Therefore, the molar mass of M is 40.2 g/mol and the name of the element is Calcium.
