Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A, Argon

Explanation:

Isotope               Atomic mass                      Percent (%)

    1                       35.9675                              0.337

    2                      37.9627                              0.063

    3                      39.9624                            99.6

Average atomic mass = (Mass isotope 1)(percent 1) + (Mass isotope 2)(percent  

                                        2) + (Mass isotope 3)(percent 3)

Average atomic mass = (35.9675)(0.00337) + (37.9627)(0.00063) +

                                       (39.9624)(0.996)

Average atomic mass = 0.1212 + 0.0239 + 39.8025

Average atomic mass = 39.9476

                   Theoretical  Atomic mass

a) Ar                         <u>39.95</u>

b) K                          39.10

c) Cl                         35.45

d) Ca                       40.08

Two sets of flasks are connected by a hollow copper pipe, as shown. Which set will change the temperature most quickly?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hmm. I'm not 100% sure but. I'm pretty sure it's A because the heated water is below and there's a hotter temp. Also because it's copper, heat will move more quickly. I'm not 100% sure, are there notes you can check?

If the lead can be extracted with 92.5% efficiency, what mass of ore is required to make a lead sphere with a 3.50 cm radius? le
ElenaW [278]

The volume of sphere can be calculated using the following formula:


V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}


Here, r is radius of the sphere which is 3.5 cm. Putting the value,


V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(3.5cm)^{3}=180 cm^{3}


This is equal to the volume of lead, density of lead is 11.34 g/cm^{3} thus, mass of lead can be calculated as follows:


m=d×V


Putting the values,


m=11.34 g/cm^{3}\times 180 cm^{3}=2041.2 g


Let the mass of ore be 1 g, 68.6% of galena is obtained by mass, thus, mass of galena obtained will be 0.686 g.


Now, 86.6% of lead is obtained from this gram of galena, thus, mass of lead will be:


m=0.686×0.866=0.5940 g


Therefore, 0.5940 g of lead is obtained from 1 g of ore for 100% efficiency, thus, for 92.5% efficiency

m=\frac{92.5}{100}\times 0.5940=0.54945 g

1 g of lead obtain from\frac{1}{0.54945}=1.82 grams of ore.


Thus, 2041.2 g of lead obtain from:


2041.2\times 1.82=3.715\times 10^{3}g or 3.715 kg


Therefore, mass of ore required to make lead sphere is 3.715 kg.

_________is a process in which o2 is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions
Kisachek [45]

Answer : The combustion is a process in which oxygen is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

The chemical equation of combustion reaction is:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

The combustion reaction is also a redox reaction.

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The combustion reaction is also a redox reaction in which the carbon shows oxidation by the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen and oxygen shows reduction by the addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen.

Hence, the combustion is a process in which oxygen is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions.

SEP Use Models Why does the number of electrons in each principal energy shell increase as the number of the shell increases?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The number of electrons in each principal energy shell increases as the number of shells increases because more electronic orbitals become available to accommodate the electrons.

For instance, the n= 2 level only accommodates eight electrons in the s and p orbitals whereas the n=3 level accommodates 18 electrons in s, p and d orbitals respectively.

Each principal level accommodates 2n^2 electrons where n= the principal energy shell.
