Answer 1

Answer:

An element is the simplest form of matter that cannot be split into simpler substances or built from simpler substances by any ordinary chemical or physical method. There are 110 elements known to us, out of which 92 are naturally occurring, while the rest have been prepared artificially. Elements are further classified into metals, non-metals, and metalloids.

Table 2.11.1: Characteristic properties of metallic and non-metallic elements:

Distinguishing luster (shine)

Non-lustrous, various colors

Nonmetals

Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-metals. These are electronegative elements. They are non-lustrous, brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite). Non-metals can be gaseous, liquids or solids.

Physical Properties of nonmetals:

Physical State: Most of the non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at room temperature: gases (oxygen) and solids (carbon).

Non-Malleable and Ductile: Non-metals are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.

Conduction: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Luster: These have no metallic luster and do not reflect light

Conductivity: Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Melting and Boiling Points: The melting points of non-metals are generally lower than metals

Seven non-metals exist under standard conditions as diatomic molecules:

H2(g)

N2(g)

O2(g)

F2(g)

Cl2(g)

Br2(l)

I2(l) (volatile liquid - evaporates readily)

Chemical Properties of Nonmetals

Non-metals have a tendency to gain or share electrons with other atoms. They are electronegative in character.

Nonmetals, when reacting with metals, tend to gain electrons (typically attaining noble gas electron configuration) and become anions:

Nonmetal + Metal -> Salt

3Br2(l)+2Al(s)→2AlBr3(s)(2.11.4)

Compounds composed entirely of nonmetals are molecular substances (not ionic).

They generally form acidic or neutral oxides with oxygen that that dissolve in water react to form acids:

Physical Properties of Metalloids

State: They are all solid at room temperature.

Conduction: Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors.

Luster: Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals). It is a much poorer conductor of heat and electricity than the metals.

Solid Solutions: They can form alloys with other metals.

Chemical Properties of Metalloids

Their physical properties tend to be metallic, but their chemical properties tend to be non-metallic.

The oxidation number of an element in this group can range from +3 to -2, depending on the group in which it is located.

Trends in Metallic and Nonmetallic Character

Metallic character is strongest for the elements in the leftmost part of the periodic table, and tends to decrease as we move to the right in any period (nonmetallic character increases with increasing ionization values). Within any group of elements (columns), the metallic character increases from top to bottom (the ionization values generally decrease as we move down a group). This general trend is not necessarily observed with the transition metals.

Answer 2

Answer:

(A) Varying ability to conduct electric current.

Explanation:

The most useful property of metalloids is their varying ability to conduct electric current.

Metalloids are elements or substances that shares properties that transcends between those of a true metal and non-metal.

Based on their properties that straddles those of metals and non-metals, they find good use in electronic parts. Most importantly because they have varying ability to conduct electric current. They conduct current under certain conditions.

your events made Gautam Buddha to
go in search of the truth?​

Answers

Answer:

The Buddha (also known as Siddhartha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama[note 3] or Buddha Shakyamuni) was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India (c. 5th to 4th century BCE).[5][6][7][note 4] He is revered as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism, and worshipped by most Buddhist schools as the Enlightened One who has transcended Karma and escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth.[8][9][10] He taught for around 45 years and built a large following, both monastic and lay.[11] His teaching is based on his insight into duḥkha (typically translated as "suffering") and the end of dukkha – the state called Nibbāna or Nirvana.

The Buddha was born into an aristocratic family in the Shakya clan but eventually renounced lay life. According to Buddhist tradition, after several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the mechanism which keeps people trapped in the cycle of rebirth. The Buddha then traveled throughout the Ganges plain teaching and building a religious community. The Buddha taught a middle way between sensual indulgence and the severe asceticism found in the Indian śramaṇa movement.[12] He taught a spiritual path that included ethical training and meditative practices such as jhana and mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.

A couple of centuries after his death he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means "Awakened One" or "Enlightened One".[13] Gautama's teachings were compiled by the Buddhist community in the Suttas, which contain his discourses, and the Vinaya, his codes for monastic practice. These were passed down in Middle-Indo Aryan dialects through an oral tradition.[14][15] Later generations composed additional texts, such as systematic treatises known as Abhidharma, biographies of the Buddha, collections of stories about the Buddha's past lives known as Jataka tales, and additional discourses, i.e, the Mahayana sutras.

At constant pressure for which of the reactions shown below should Delta H be greater than Delta E°?
1.2 SO2(g) + O2(g) - 2 SO3(g)
II. C5H12(9) + 8 O2(g) - 5 CO2(g) + 6 H20(1)
III. H2(g) + Br2(g) → 2 HBr(9),
IV. N204(9) - 2 NO2(g)

Answers

Answer: [tex]N_2O_4(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)[/tex] has higher value of [tex]\Delta H[/tex] than [tex]\Delta E[/tex]

Explanation:

The realtion between enthalpy change and internal energy change is:

[tex]\Delta H=\Delta E+\Delta n_gRT[/tex]

where,

=  enthalpy of the reaction

= internal energy of the reaction

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex] = change in the gaseous moles of the reaction = Moles of product - Moles of reactant

R = gas constant

T = temperature

1. [tex]2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex] = 2-3 = -1

2. [tex]C_5H_{12}(g)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 5CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex] = 5-9 = -4

3. [tex]H_2(g)+Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2HBr(g)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex] = 2-2 = 0

4. [tex]N_2O_4(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta n_g[/tex] = 2-1 = 1

Thus reaction . [tex]N_2O_4(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)[/tex] has higher value of [tex]\Delta H[/tex] than [tex]\Delta E[/tex]

At constant pressure the given reaction that shows ΔH would be greater than ΔE is;

IV); N₂0₄(g) 2NO₂(g)

In chemistry, he meaning of ΔH and ΔE are;

- ΔH means the change in enthalpy, which is heat content.

- ΔE means the change in energy of a system.

Now, for a closed system the relationship between ΔH and ΔE is given by;

ΔH = ΔE + PΔV

where PΔV = ΔnRT

Thus; ΔH = ΔE + ΔnRT

where Δn = number of moles of product in the gaseous state - number of moles of reactants.

Thus, if Δn is negative, then ΔE would be greater than ΔH but if Δn is positive, then ΔH would be greater than ΔE

I) 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2SO₃(g)

number of moles of product = 2

number of moles of reactants = 2 + 1 = 3

Δn = 2 - 3

Δn = -1 and so ΔE would be greater than ΔH

II) C₅H₁₂(g) + 8O₂(g) ⇒ 5CO₂(g) + 6H₂0(l)

number of moles of product = 5 (6 is not used because water is in liquid and not gas)

number of moles of reactants = 8 + 1 = 9

Δn = 5 - 9

Δn = -4 and so ΔE would be greater than ΔH

III) H₂(g) + Br₂(g) → 2HBr(g)

number of moles of product = 2

number of moles of reactants = 1 + 1 = 2

Δn = 2 - 2

Δn = 0 and so ΔE would be equal to ΔH

IV) N₂0₄(g) → 2NO₂(g)

number of moles of product = 2

number of moles of reactants = 1

Δn = 2 - 1

Δn = +1 and so ΔH would be greater than ΔE

Under what conditions can a supersaturated solution be formed?
A- cool the solution back down to room temperature very carefully
B- cool the solution back down to room temperature haphazardly
C- leave the solution undisturbed as it is cooling
D- heat a solvent above room temperature
E- cool a solvent below room temperature

Answers

Answer:

E. Cool a solvent below room temperature

Explanation:

When a solution that has had more solute dissolved at a higher temperature is now cooled, it becomes supersaturated at the lower temperature. Because that supersaturated solution holds more solute than is stable at the lower temperature, crystals start to form.

To solve this we must be knowing each and every concept related to  supersaturated solution. Therefore, the correct option is option E among all the given options.

What is supersaturated solution?

The excess solute solution that the solvent can dissolve is known as a supersaturated solution. The substance that may dissolve in a solution, such as salts but not limited to salts, is referred to as a solution if we are unsure of what a solute or solvent is.

A solution becomes supersaturated at a lower temperature when it is cooled after having additional solute incorporated at a higher temperature. Crystals begin to form because the supersaturated solution contains more solute than would be stable just at lower temperature.

Therefore, the correct option is option E among all the given options.

Answers

Answer: 106.19%

Explanation:

percent yield = actual/theo * 100%

our theoretical yield is the limiting reagent and then we have our actual given

.1030/.0970* 100% = 106.19%

The percent yield of prepared aspirin is 102.84%.

What is percent yield?

Percent yield is defined as the ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield  multiplied by 100. If the actual and theoretical yield are same then the percent yield is 100%.If actual yield is less than the theoretical yield then the percent  yield is less than 100%.Reason of this condition arising is the incompletion of reaction  or loss of sample during recovery process.

In cases where percent yield is over 100% it indicates that more sample is recovered than the predicted amount.This condition arises when there are other simultaneous reactions taking place leading to the formation of product. It can also arise if there is incomplete removal of impurities from the sample .

By using the formula of percent yield , yield of aspirin is calculated as,

0.1030/0.1264 ×100=81.48%.

Thus, the percent yield of aspirin is 81.48%.
