You are giving an unknown element that dull in color. All you have to identify it is an electrical source and a meter that detects electrical charges. You would know it is a nonmetal if you turn on the electrical source and

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Metals conduct electricity while nonmetals do not. Therefore if when you turn on the electrical source and the devise indicates a current, you know the substance is a metal. If you turn on the electrical source and the devise indicates no current, the substance is a nonmetal. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

If 3.85 moles of aluminum (Al) metal, with a density of 2.70 g/mL, are needed for a chemical reaction, how many milliliters of aluminum are needed?Select one:
a. 1.43 mL Al
b. 18.9 mL Al
c. 38.5 mL Al
d. 281 mL Al

Answers

To find mL of Al needed, start by finding grams of Al that are being used in this reaction:
(3.85mol Al)(27.0g/mol Al)= 104g Al needed.

Since density is m/v, and we know the density and the mass, we can find the volume:
2.70g/mL = (104.g)/mL
Isolate mL:
(104.g)/(2.70g/mL) = 38.5mL needed which is answer C :)

Which formula represents a polar molecule?
(1) O2
(2) CO2
(3) NH3
(4) CH4

Answers

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A molecule is polar when the net dipole moment of molecule is zero. When an electronegative atom is attached to an electropositive atom then the electronegative atom pulls the shared pair of electrons more towards itself.

As a result, the movement of electrons is more towards the electronegative atom and the dipole moment becomes zero. This will also induce partial positive and partial negative charge on electropositive and electronegative atom.

On the other hand, O_(2), CO_(2), and CH_(4) are covalent compounds and does not have a net zero dipole moment.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options NH_(3)  represents a polar molecule.

For the amino acid alanine, the major species in solution at pH 7 is the zwitterionic form, which has a negatively charged carboxylic acid group and a positively charged amino group. There is a less common neutral form in which neither group is charged. The carboxylic acid group of alanine has a p K a of 3 . The amino group of alanine has a p K a of 8 . Estimate the ratio of the concentration of the neutral amino acid species to the zwitterionic species at pH 7 .

Answers

Answer: ratio is 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

From Acid-dissociation equilibrium constant, HA is given thus,

HA + H₂O  ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

equilibrium constant, Ka = [H₃O⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]

[H₃O⁺]  = Ka [HA] / [A⁻]

from this we have that

pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

and pKa = -logKa

Applying Henderson-Hassel bach equation;

pH = pKa + log  [A⁻]/[HA] ...........(1)

A⁻ rep the salt and HA rep the acid

at a given pH of 7, the pKa value of carboxylic acid COOH is 3

∴ from equation (1).

7 = 3 + log(COO⁻/COOH)

log(COO⁻/COOH) = 4

thus (COO⁻/COOH) = 10⁻⁴ ...................(2)

The ratio of alanine COOH to COO- at pH 7 is  (COO⁻/COOH) = 10⁻⁴

(ii) Also considering the ratio of alanine NH2 to NH3+ at pH 7  we have;

given Pka value is 8,

therefore pH = pKa + log [salt]/[base]

7 = 8 + log (NH₂/NH₃)

(NH₂/NH₃) = 10⁻¹

thus the ratio of the concentration of the neutral amino acid species to the zwitterionic species at pH 7 is;

10⁻⁴ ˣ 10⁻¹ = 10⁻⁵

A piece of wood and a piece of steel are at the same temperature; however, the steel feels hotter. This is because the steel has _____. A- more entropy
B- greater thermal conductivity
C- greater thermal insulation
D- a higher R-value

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is "greater thermal conductivity".

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity: It is a ability to conduct heat. Heat transfers occur at a lower rate to material at higher thermal conductivity.

It is defined as the rate at which the heat is transferred through a unit thickness of the substance per area per change in the temperature.

In the given problem, A piece of wood and a piece of steel are at the same temperature. However, the steel feels hotter. The thermal conductivity of the steel is more than the thermal conductivity of the wood.

Therefore,  the correct option is "greater thermal conductivity".

B- Greater thermal conductivity

Compute 4.659×104−2.14×104. Round the answer appropriately.

Answers

The answer is 2.519 × 10^4. Use the distributive property: a × x + b × x = (a + b) × x. If a = 4.659, b = 2.14, and x = 10^4, then 4.659 × 10^4 − 2.14 × 10^4 = (4.659 - 2.14) × 10^4. Now, subtract numbers in parenthesis: 4.659 × 10^4 − 2.14 × 10^4 = (4.659 - 2.14) × 10^4 = 2.519 × 10^4.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!
