Why are metallic crystals malleable and ductile? A. The electrons are free floating, allowing them to move with the atoms when t

he metal is struck and the crystal lattice shifts. B. The free floating electrons conduct energy easily, and disperse the energy of being hit by a hammer or other tool, allowing them to be molded and not break. C. The crystal lattice is made of very strong ionic bonds that take a lot of energy to break. D. The atoms are arranged with alternating positive and negative charges. When struck, the lattice shifts putting positives against positives and negatives against negatives.

Answer:

D. The atoms are arranged with alternating positive and negative charges. When struck, the lattice shifts putting positives against positives and negatives against negatives.

Explanation:

Metallic crystals takes their properties as a result of metallic bonds in between the atoms.

Metallic bond is actually the attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms by losing their outermost shell electrons this is by virtue of their low ionization energy.

Physical properties of metals such as malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, etc can be accounted for by metallic bonds.

How many moles are there in 3.612 X 10^24 molecules of phosgene (COCL2)
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

No of molecules = 3.612*10(24)

Avogadro's number = 6.022*10(23)

no of moles = No of molecules/Avogadro's number

No of moles =3.612*10(24)/6.022*10(23)

No of moles = 6mol

The combustion of propane (c3h8) produces co2 and h2o: c3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) → 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) the reaction of 2.5 mol of o2 wi
Andrews [41]
The answer is 2 mol of H₂O will be produced.
The balanced equation for the chemical reaction is:

<span>c3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) → 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) 
5 moles of O</span>₂ produces 4 moles of H₂O, and when there is 2.5 mol of O₂, moles of H₂O will be:
2.5 x 4/5 = 2 mol of H₂O

A cylinder contains 4.0 g of nitrogen gas. A piston compresses the gas to half its initial volume. Afterward, by what factor has
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The mass density will be doubled

Explanation:

  • Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
  • An increase in mass causes an increase in density and vice versa, while a  decrease in volume causes an increase in density and volume.
  • Therefore, when the volume is halved, then the density will be doubled if the mass is kept constant.
  • This has no effect on the number of moles as the mass is constant.

A sample of an ideal gas occupies 2.78 x 10^3 mL at 25°C and 760 mm Hg.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: It will occupy 4.45\times 10^3ml at the same temperature and 475 mm Hg.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2    (At constant temperature and number of moles)

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 760 mm Hg

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 475 mm Hg

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.78\times 10^3ml

V_2  = final volume of gas = ?

Putting in the values:

760mm Hg\times 2.78\times 10^3ml=475 mm Hg\times V_2

V_2=4.45\times 10^3ml

Thus it will occupy 4.45\times 10^3ml at the same temperature and 475 mm Hg

What is the mass of 3.35 mol Hg(IO3)2? 1,700 g 1,840 g 1,960 g 2,110 g
Tema [17]

Answer:- 1840 g.

Solution:- We have been given with 3.35 moles of Hg(IO_3)_2 and asked to calculate it's mass.

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by the molar mass of the compound. Molar mass of the compound is the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms present in it.

molar mass of Hg(IO_3)_2 = atomic mass of Hg + 2(atomic mass of I) + 6(atomic mass of O)

= 200.59+2(126.90)+6(16.00)

= 200.59+253.80+96.00

= 550.39 gram per mol

Let's multiply the given moles by the molar mass:

3.35mol(\frac{550.39g}{1mol})

= 1843.8 g

Since, there are three sig figs in the given moles of compound, we need to round the calculated my to three sig figs also. So, on rounding off to three sig figs the mass becomes 1840 g.
