You are given a compound with the formula mcl2, in which m is a metal. you are told that the metal ion has 26 electrons. what is
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

             Nickle

Explanation:

                  In statement it is given that the metal "M" has a formula "MCl₂" which means it has a charge of +2 as each Chlorine atom has -1 charge. Therefore, it is cleared that this metal has lost 2 electrons and originally it was carrying 28 electrons.

                  After that periodic table is concerned and a metal with 28 atomic number was tracked because a neutral atom with 28 electrons must have 28 protons and protons are infact the atomic number.

                  Hence, in periodic table the metal with 28 atomic number is found to be Nickle.

A sample of ammonia has a mass of 82.9 g. how many molecules are in this sample?
alina1380 [7]
The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3. So first, you need to find the molar mass of ammonia (how many grams in one mole).
N=14g
H3=3g
So one mole of NH3 is 17 grams, you can divide 82.9 grams by 17 grams to find the number of molecules. The answer should be 4.876 moles (molecules) of ammonia. Hope this helps!

Each response gives a pair of solutions. which pair of solutions should conduct electrical current equally well? 1. 0.10 m nh3 a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer : The correct answer is option 2 : 0.10 M NaCl and 0.10 M NaClO₄

Explanation :

Solutions are classified into 3 categories.

1) Strong electrolytes : These are the solutions that dissociate completely forming ions . They are good conductors of electricity.

Example : All strong acids, bases and the salts made by strong acid/base are strong electrolytes .

2) Weak electrolytes : These substances do not dissociate completely thereby forming fewer ions. They are weak conductors of electricity.

3) Non electrolytes : These are the substances that do not dissociate at all. They do not form ions in aqueous medium. They are bad conductors of electricity.

Let us take a look at the given options and find out what type of solution do we have .

Option 1 : NH₃ is a weak electrolyte whereas NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte bcause NH₄Cl is made by combination of NH₃ and HCl ( HCl is a strong acid)

Therefore NH₃ would carry electricity less efficiently than NH₄Cl.

Option 2 : Both NaCl and NaClO₄ are strong electrolytes. Therefore they will conduct electrical current equally well

Option 3 : NaNO₃ is a strong electrolyte but HNO₂ is a weak electrolyte. Therefore they will not carry the current equally

Therefore the correct option is option 2

A flask contains methane, chlorine and carbon monoxide gases. the partial pressures of each are 0.215 atm, 0.066 atm, and 0.826
hjlf

Answer;

The total pressure is 1.107 atm.

Explanation;

The total pressure is the sum of the pressures of the three gases in the flask

Pressure (total) = 0.215 atm + 0.066 atm + 0.826 atm = 1.107 atm

= 1.107 atm.

Soil is an essential component of the earth's crust. It enabled life to exist and
goblinko [34]

Answer:

<u>The consequences of soil erosion</u> go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has contributed to increased runoff and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waters and causing declines in fish and other animals.

We can protect the community from soil erosion by -:

  • Maintaining a good, perennial cover for plants.  
  • From mulching.  
  • Planting a crop for cover

Explanation:

<u>SOIL EROSION -:</u> The soil erosion mechanism is both natural and man-made. In nature, this refers to the removal of the top layer of soil caused by wind and water, while human activity may increase exposure to these elements.

<u>MAJOR EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION -:</u>

  • <u>Pollution and Low Water Quality -:</u> Sedimentation is created by gradual soil erosion, a process by which rocks and minerals in the soil are separated from the soil and deposited elsewhere, often in streams and rivers. Soil contaminants, such as fertilizers and pest control agents, often settle in the streams and rivers to protect crops. Water contaminants contribute to low water quality, including drinking water quality, if the contaminants are not removed prior to ingestion. As sunlight can get through the sediment, sedimentation also leads to the excessive growth of algae. According to the World Wildlife Fund, high levels of algae drain too much oxygen from the water, resulting in the mortality of marine species and reduced fish stocks.
  • <u>Structural Issues and Mudslides -:</u> Soil erosion contributes to mudslides, impacting the stability of buildings and roadways and their structural integrity. Mudslides affect not only soil-supported structures, but also buildings and roads that are in the path of slides. Mudslides occur when, as a result of the intensity and energy of heavy rainfall, fine sand , clay, silt, organic matter and soil spill off the sides of hills and slopes. According to Envirothon, a program of the National Conservation Foundation and North America's largest high school environmental education competition, this runoff happens rapidly, because there is not enough time for the surface to reabsorb or catch the eroding soil.
  • <u>Flooding and Deforestation -:</u> Deforestation erodes soil — the removal of trees to create space for towns and agriculture. Trees help to maintain soil in place, so winds and rains drive the loose soil and rocks to streams and rivers when they are uprooted, resulting again in unnecessary sedimentation. The thick layers of sediment keep streams and rivers from flowing smoothly, ultimately contributing to flooding. Excess water, especially during rainy seasons and when the snow melts, gets trapped by the sediment and has nowhere to go except back on land.
  • <u>The Deterioration of Soil -:</u> Soil nutrient depletion is often the result of poorly performed cultivation and cultivation practices that contribute to soil erosion. For natural vegetation and agricultural purposes, excessive irrigation and obsolete tilling practices decrease the amount of nutrients in the soil and make it less fertile.

<u>PROTECTION OF COMMUNITY FROM SOIL EROSION -</u>

  • <u>Maintaining a good, perennial cover for plants  -:</u> Your perennial garden's care and upkeep need not be difficult or overwhelming. A blend of certain simple horticultural values with common sense and a good eye is a great part of good gardening.
  • <u>MULCHING -:</u> The amount of water that evaporates from your soil will be reduced by mulch, greatly reducing the need to water the plants. By breaking up clay and permitting better movement of water and air through the soil. Mulch supplements sandy soil with nutrients and enhances its ability to retain water.
  • <u>PLANTING A  CROP FOR COVER -: </u> Winter rye in vegetable gardens, for instance. This includes annual grasses, small grains , legumes and other forms of vegetation that have been planted to provide temporary vegetative cover. Cover crops are also often tilled as a 'green manure' crop under serving.
