Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Since the element reacts with oxygen to form an oxide with the formula MO, the charge on the element is +2.

Also, since the oxide MO when dissolved in water is basic, the metal is an alkali earth metal.

From the above conditions;

The metal is not arsenic because arsenic is a metalloid has the  following oxides As₂O₃ and As₃O₅ and are respectively amphoteric and acidic in nature

The metal is not germanium because is a metalloid and even though germanium oxide has the formula GeO₂, it is amphoteric.

The metal is not chlorine because chlorine is a non-metal

The metal is definitely calcium because calcium oxide has the formula CaO and calcium is an alkaline earth metal.

The metal is not selenium because selenium is anon-meal and its oxide has the formula Se0₂ and is acidic

Consider the reaction between nis2 and o2: 2nis2(s)+5o2(g)→2nio(s)+4so2(g) when 11.2 g of nis2 are allowed to react with 5.43 g
stellarik [79]
M(NiS₂) = 11.2 g.
n(NiS₂) = m(NiS₂) ÷ M(NiS₂).
n(NiS₂) = 11.2 g ÷ 122.8 g/mol.
n(NiS₂) = 0.091 mol.
m(O₂) = 5.43 g.
n(O₂) = 5.43 g ÷ 32 g/mol.
n(O₂) = 0.17 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(NiS₂) : n(O₂) = 2 : 5.
0.091 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 5.
n(O₂) = 0.2275 mol, not enough.
n(NiO) = 4.89 g .
n(O₂) : n(NiS) = 5 : 2.
n(NiS) = 0.068 mol.
m(NiS) = 0.068 mol · 74.7 g/mol = 5.08 g.
percent yield = 4.89 g / 5.08 g · 100% = 96.2%.

Adhesion describes water's attraction to _____. other water molecules other substances hydrogen molecules acids and bases
Yuliya22 [10]
Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances. 

The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.

Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: 0.004 C. They are held apart at a separation distance of
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is F = 28800 N

Explanation:

Data

q₁ = q₂ = 0.004 C

distance = r = 5 m

k = 9x 10⁹ C

Force = F

Formula

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

-Substitution

F = (9 x 10⁹)(0.004)(0.004) / (5)²

-Simplification

F = 144000 / 25

-Result

F = 28800 N

-Conclusion

The force of repulsion between these balloons is 28800 N

Why are salt and sugar both able to dissolve in water, even though the solutes have different types of chemical bonding?
Serjik [45]

Answer:Water is polar molecule, ionic compound dissolves in it as like dissolves like.

there is ionic interaction between a salt and water

Sugar has hydroxyl group in it. These hydroxyl group are able to form hydrogen bond with water molecule.

[Hydrogen bond : the interaction between a hydrogen, bonded with a highly electro-negative element (F,O,N) and other highly electro-negative element (F,O,N)]

Thus due to hydrogen bond sugar is soluble in water.

Explanation:The water molecules, , are polar, with positive partial charges on the hydrogen and a negative partial charge on the oxygen. This makes it possible to interact with ionic compounds such as salt (NaCl). This interaction occurs through the partially positive and negative ends of the water, so that the positive charges attract the negative ones. The NaCl salt in water dissociates (separates) into  and  ions. ions are surrounded by negative partial charges of water oxygen, while  ions are surrounded by hydrogen ends with positive partial charge. In this way the salt is dissolved in water.

Sugar is a molecular compound formed by covalent bonds. In a polar covalent bond, electrons are shared unevenly. This creates a slightly negatively charged end and a slightly positively charged end. This is what happens with sugar. These extremes are those that interact with the positive and negative extremes of water, mentioned previously. Then it is possible to say that sugar dissolves in water because both substances are polar substances.

In short, water dissolves most of the substances that are polar or ionic, as in the case of sugar and salt.
