Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element exists in two or more different physical forms then they are known as allotropes.

For example, diamond and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.

In graphite, carbon atoms are joined together in sheets of six sided lattice. Whereas in diamond, carbon atoms are joined together in four cornered lattice.

Therefore, as these allotropes are made up of same element so they have similar chemical properties but different physical properties like melting point, boiling point etc.

Also, both of them have different molecular structure.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement the differ in their molecular structure and properties correctly describes diamond and graphite.

At home, Helena is cooking with butter and lard. While the fats sit on the counter, she notices that the butter begins to melt,
pychu [463]

Answer: Lard contains the most hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Unlike butter, lard contains more saturated fats, higher monounsaturated fats, and no trans fat (a type of unsaturated fat).

Thus, the presence of more saturated fats allows for more hydrogen atoms to confer heat stability to lard.

So, lard contains more hydrogen atoms

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC
Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}    (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                             = 195.65 mol

As,     Q = n \times F       where F = Faraday's constant

              = 195.65 mol \times 96500 C

              = 1.88 \times 10^{7} mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

               E = Q \times V

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

              E = Q \times V

                 = 1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5

                 = 9.4 \times 10^{7} J

As 1 J = 2.77 \times 10^{-7} kWh

Hence,      \frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}} kWh

                = 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.

What is the driving force for the reaction of hcl(aq) and naoh(aq)?
vaieri [72.5K]
This is a type of metathesis reaction, also referred to as double-displacement reactions. In this reaction, the solvent and electrolyte is water, and they are driven by the formation of the non-electrolytic product. Therefore, the driving force behind the neutralization reaction between HCl and NaOH is the formation of sodium chloride, NaCl.

The chemical equation, Cr + Fe(NO3)2 → Fe + Cr(NO3)3, is an example of which type of reaction?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Redox type

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Cr +  3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃

2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.

If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3

Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0

Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.

Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:

Fe²⁺  +  2e⁻ ⇄  Fe    (Reduction)

Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺  +  3e⁻    (Oxidation)

When an element is being  reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.

What mass of carbon dioxide could be made from 100 tonnes of calcium carbonate?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Total mass of CaCO3 = 40 amu of Ca + 12amu of C + 16×3 amu of oxygen = 100amu of CaCO3




i.e 100 tonnes of CaCO3 .


mass of CO2 = 12amu of C + 2× 16amu of O = 44 amu of CO2




mass % of CO2 in CaCO3 = (44/100)×100 =44%


i.e
44% of 100 tonnes is CO2.
=44 tonnes of CO2.

therefore, 44% of CO2 is present in CaCO3.
