Lead is malleable, so it can be pounded into flat sheets without breaking. How does the bonding within lead help to explain this

property?
Metallic bonds involve valence electrons that are removed from one atom and given to another, so the pounding helps the electrons move.
Covalent bonds involve valence electrons that are shared between two metal atoms, so the bonds are strong enough to resist the pounding.
Metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded.
Covalent bonds involve valence electrons that are removed from one atom and given to another, so the pounding helps the electrons move.

The answer is Metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded. The metallic bond structure of lead forms a cubic crystal structure and the atoms can roll over one another without breaking the metallic bonds. This is especially because the p orbital electrons of lead can be delocalized and the electrons can be shared with other lead ions in the cubic structure of lead.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, the valence electrons are involved in bonding with many atoms.

As a result, valence electrons dissociate within their atomic core and form a sea of electrons which helps in binding the positively charged ions.

Thus, we can conclude that the bonding within lead help to explain this property as metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded.

2 physical changes that happen in aquaponics
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The physical and chemical change that occurs in the aquaponics are given below.

Explanation:

The plants and animals grow in size and decrease the mass of plant due to eating by the fishes is a physical changes which occurs in aquaponics. The sunlight has a heat energy which is absorb by the plants present in aquaponics which is a type of endothermic reaction. In aquaponics, the ammonia present in water is converted into nitrates which is used by the plants as a nutrients. When the mass is converted into energy, it increases the temperature of the ecosystem and also the earth surface. For example, if a wood is burn, it change into heat energy which increases the temperature and cause the global warming on the earth surface.

From the following enthalpy of reaction data and data in Appendix C, calculate ΔH∘f for CaC2(s): CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)→Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2
sashaice [31]

Answer:

From the following enthalpy of reaction data and data in Appendix C, calculate ΔH∘f for CaC2(s): CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)→Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2(g)ΔH∘=−127.2kJ

ΔHf°(C2H2) = 227.4 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(H2O) = -285.8 kJ/mol and

ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) = -985.2 kJ/mol

(Ans)

ΔHf° of CaC2 = -59.0 kJ/mol

Explanation:

CaC2(s) + 2 H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s) + C2H2 (g) = −127.2kJ

ΔHrxn = −127.2kJ

ΔHrxn = ΔHf°(C2H2) + ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) - ΔHf°(CaC2)- 2ΔHf°(H2O);

ΔHf°(CaC2) = ΔHf°(C2H2) + ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) - 2ΔHf°(H2O) – ΔHrxn

Where

ΔHf°(C2H2) = 227.4 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(H2O) = -285.8 kJ/mol and

ΔHf°(Ca(OH)2) = -985.2 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(CaC2) =227.4 - 985.2 + 2x285.8 + 127.2 = -59.0 kJ/mol

ΔHf°(CaC2) = -59.0 kJ/mol

6.An acid-base indicator is usually a weak acid with a characteristic color in the protonated and deprotonated forms. Because br
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

At equal concentration of HBCG and BCG^-, the colour is green. This colour first appears at pH = 3.8

Explanation:

HBCG is an indicator that is prepared by dissolving the solid in ethanol.

Since

Ka=[BCG−][H3O+][HBCG]When [BCG-] = [HBCG], then Ka = [H3O+].

If pH = 3.8

Ka= [H3O+] = -antilog pH = -antilog (3.8)

Ka= 1.58 ×10^-4

What is the pH of a solution of 0.400 M CH₃NH₂ containing 0.250 M CH₃NH₃I? (Kb of CH₃NH₂ is 4.4 × 10⁻⁴)
Karolina [17]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{10.84}}

Explanation:

A solution of a weak base and its conjugate acid is a buffer.

The equation for the equilibrium is

\rm CH$_3$NH$_2$ + H$_2$O $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ CH$_3$NH$_2$+ H$_{3}$O$^{+}$\\\text{For ease of typing, let's rewrite this equation as}\\\rm B + H$_2$O $\longrightarrow \,$ BH$^{+}$ + OH$^{-}$; $K_{\text{b}}$ = 4.4 \times 10^{-4}$

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a basic buffer is

\text{pOH} = \text{p}K_{\text{b}} + \log\dfrac{[\text{BH}^{+}]}{\text{[B]}}

Data:

   [B] = 0.400 mol·L⁻¹

[BH⁺] = 0.250 mol·L⁻¹

    Kb = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴

Calculations:

(a) Calculate pKb

pKb = -log(4.4× 10⁻⁴)  = 3.36

(b) Calculate the pH

\text{pOH} = 3.36 + \log \dfrac{0.250}{0.400} = 3.36 + \log 0.625 = 3.36 - 0.204 = 3.16\\\\\text{pH} =14.00 -3.16 = \mathbf{10.84}\\\\\text{The pH of the solution is }\boxed{\textbf{10.84}}
