Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

takes part in a chemical reaction

Explanation:

An atom is defined as the smallest part of an element that takes part in a chemical reaction.

When chemicals react, they simply exchange their atoms and recombine to form compounds where the atoms inside of them have a stable configuration.

In a chemical reaction, atoms are not broken down to simpler forms. Chemical reactions do now break down atoms. By losing, sharing or gaining of electrons, atoms simply form compounds and molecules.

How do you think the size of an atom will affect its ability to attract additional electrons?

Answers

An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the size of the atom. The higher its electronegativity, the more an element attracts electrons. The opposite of electronegativity is electropositivity, which is a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons.

The metal of the wire must be in contact with the terminals of a battery so that, electrons can easily pass through and generate the electrical current.

What is electrical insulation?

An electrical insulation is used to prevent the passage of electricity through an object. The materials which does not conduct electrically at any condition is called insulators.

Insulators are used as protective envelopes over the conducting bodies to resist the electrical shock and shortage of electricity. The electrical wires of circuits are coated with insulating plastics throughout up to the terminals.

The terminals cannot be insulated because, the passage of electricity to external circuit can only be achieved by conducting ends otherwise insulation will resist the passage of electrons to the battery. Thus, option C is correct.

Which statement about Fe is supported by the modern atomic theory but not John Dalton’s theory?
A. The element iron is composed of small particles called atoms.
B. The electrons of iron have probable locations in a region of space around the nucleus.
C. Iron atoms combine with other atoms in whole number ratios to form compounds.
D. Chemical reactions that involve iron do not create new atoms of iron.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

One of the claims of John Dalton's atomic theory is that atom is the smallest unit of matter (which suggests that there are no particles smaller than an atom in any matter). This claim has been disproved by the modern atomic theory which established that there are particles smaller than atom (called subatomic particles). These particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.

One of the modern atomic theory was by Neils Bohr, who proposed that electrons move in circular orbits around the central nucleus. Thus, the electrons of iron can also be said to be present in a region of space (circular path) around the nucleus. This proves that option B is the correct option as John Dalton's theory did not even recognize the electron(s) nor the nucleus.

Answers

Answer:

A material that readily transmits energy is a conductor, while one that resist energy transfer is called an insulator. There are different types of conductors and insulators because there are different forms of energy. Materials that conduct electrons, protons, or ions are electrical conductors. They conduct electricity. Usually, electrical conductors have loosely bound electrons. Materials that conduct heat are thermal conductors. Substances that transfer sound are acoustical conductors. There are corresponding insulators for each type of conductor.

Explanation:

Electrical conductors and thermal conductors have loosely bound electrons. These are the materials that conduct heat.

Electrical conductors and thermal conductors:

Electrical conductivity is a measure of how well electrical current can pass through a material under the influence of an applied electric field. Thermal conductivity measures how well heat can pass through a material under a temperature difference. Materials that are good conductors of heat and electricity. Thermal insulators do not transfer energy, but thermal conductors do.

The lattice energy for ionic crystals increases as the charge on the ions _____________ and the size of the ions __________________.

a. increases, increases
b. increases, decreases
c. decreases, increases
d. decreases, decreases
e. none of these ,is generally correct

Answers

Answer:

b. increases, decreases

Explanation:

For an ionic compound ( ionic crystal), the lattice energy accounts for the crystal lattice's cohesion energy.

The lattice energy is the change in molar enthalpy associated with the reaction of the formation of gas ions from a mole of crystal.

This means that the lattice energy is needed to split the bond between particles of a solid ionic crystal and change the atoms into gaseous ions.

The smaller the atom size, the more heat energy required to split the bond, and the larger the atom size, the lesser heat required.

The charge on the atom also affects the behavior of ionic crystals. In essence, the higher the charge on the atom, the more difficult to split the bond, and the lesser the charge on an atom, the easier it is to split the bond.

Thus, we can conclude that the lattice energy for ionic crystals increases as the ions' charge increases, and the size of the ions decreases.

If 4.74 g of propane is allowed to completely combust, calculate the mass of carbon dioxide formed at the end. Remember the units

Answers

Answer:

14.2g

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

        C₃H₈  +  5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Given mass of propane combusted;

   4.74g

Unknown:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we find the number of moles of the given propane;

   Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]  

Molar mass of C₃H₈ = 3(12) + 8(1) = 44g/mol

   Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{4.74}{44}[/tex]  = 0.11mol

From the balanced reaction equation:

          1 mole of C₃H₈ will produce  3 moles of CO₂

          0.11mole of C₃H₈ will produce 3 x 0.11  = 0.33mole of  CO₂

Mass of  CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass

    Molar mass of  CO₂ = 12 + 2(16) = 44g/mol

Mass of  CO₂ = 0.33 x 44  = 14.2g

There are many ways of generating electrical energy. Research three of the following, describe how they work, and discuss the pros and cons of each of the three chosen electrical power plants:

thermal power plant (aka coal power plant)
nuclear power plant
solar power plant
hydroelectric power plant
geothermal power plant
tidal power plant
wind farms

Answers

Answer:  Thermal Power Plant  1.  A thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power. In most, a steam-driven turbine converts heat to mechanical power as an intermediate to electrical power. Water is heated, turns into steam and drives a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator.

Nuclear Power Plant  2.   A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor. As is typical of thermal power stations, heat is used to generate steam that drives a steam turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.

Solar Power Plant   3.    Solar thermal power/electric generation systems collect and concentrate sunlight to produce the high temperature heat needed to generate electricity. ... Solar thermal power plants may also be hybrid systems that use other fuels (usually natural gas) to supplement energy from the sun during periods of low solar radiation.

Hydroelectric Power Plant   4. The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an impoundment facility. An impoundment facility, typically a large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.

Geothermal Power Plant   5.   At a geothermal power plant, wells are drilled 1 or 2 miles deep into the Earth to pump steam or hot water to the surface. ... When the water reaches the surface, the pressure is dropped, which causes the water to turn into steam. The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.

Tidal Power Plant   6.   There are very few commercial-sized tidal power plants operating in the world. The first was located in La Rance, France. The largest facility is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station in South Korea. The United States has no tidal plants and only a few sites where tidal energy could be produced at a reasonable price.

Wind Farm   7.    Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

Explanation:

To solve this we must be knowing each and every concept related to  thermal power plant. Therefore, in the below given ways, three ways of producing electricity is discussed.

What is thermal power plant?

In a reaction, 25 g of reactant AB breaks down into 10g of Product A and an unknown amount of Product B. What is the mass of product B?

Answers

Answer:

Mass of product B  = 15g

Explanation:

Reaction:

          AB →  A   +   B

Mass of AB  = 25g

Mass of A = 10g

Unknown:

Mass of B = ?

Solution:

Based on the law of conservation of matter "matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another in a chemical reaction".

 The amount of product  = amount of reactant

  Mass of AB  = Mass of A + Mass of B

  Now;

    Mass of Product B  = Mass of AB  - Mass of A

     Mass of product B   = 25  - 10  = 15g

Mass of product B  = 15g
