Answer:

carbon and silicon

Explanation:

Various groups of elements in the periodic table have different outermost shell electron configurations. Actually, elements are classified into groups on the basis of the number of electrons on the outermost shell of those elements. All elements with the same number of electrons on their outermost shell belong to the same group in the periodic table.

For elements in group 14, they all have four electrons on their outermost shell. Their general outer electron configuration is ns2 np2 as shown in the question. Two prominent members of this group are carbon and silicon. This ns2 np2 is the ground state outer electron configuration of all group 14 elements in the periodic table.

At 10.°C, 20.g of oxygen gas exerts a pressure of 2.1atm in a rigid, 7.0L cylinder. Assuming ideal behavior, if the temperature
Alja [10]

Answer:

Final pressure = 2.3225 atm

Amontons’s law states that

At constant volume and number of molecules, the pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature

Explanation:

Temperature causes increased excitement of gas molecules increasing the number of collisions with the walls of the container which is sensed as increase in pressure

Amontons’s law: P/T = Constant at constant V and n

That is P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where temperature is given in Kelvin

Hence T1 of 10°C = 273.15 + 10 = 283.15K

Also temperature T2 of 40°C = 313.15 K

Hence

P2 = (P1/T1)×T2 = (2.1/283.15)×313.15 = 2.3225 atm

This same chemistry student has a weight of 155 lbs. What is the student’s weight in
Virty [35]

Answer:

the same chemistry student has a weight of 155lbs what is the student weight in grams? (16 oz= 1 lb, 1 oz= 28.34g)

Explanation:1 lb = 16oz, so multiply your pounds by 16 to get you ounces of the student, then multiply by 28.34 to get grams

155 X 16 X 28.34 = 70283.2

A slice of pizza contains 29 g of carbohydrate, 13 g of protein and an unknown amount of fat. if the pizza contains 280 kcal, ho
Shalnov [3]
When different macronutrients (e.g., carbohydrates) are metabolized, they yield different amounts of energy, commonly measured in kilocalories.

They are given by the following conversion factors:

carbohydrates = 4 kcal/g
protein = 4 kcal/g
fat = 9 kcal/g

If the slice of pizza contains 29 g carbohydrates, that means there are 4 kcal/g × 29 g = 116 kcal from carbohydrates. It contains 13 g protein, so there are 4 kcal/g <span>× 13 g = 52 kcal from protein.

The total number of kilocalories is 280, of which we have accounted for 168 (116+52). 280–168=112 kcal.

So, there are 112 kcal from fat. Using our conversion factor, 112 kcal </span><span>× 1 g/9 kcal = 12 g fat.</span>

An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.
