Physical change of a substance include the phase change of the substance. Melting is an example of physical change where, a solid melts to form its liquid.

What is a physical change?

The change in state or phase of a substance is called physical change such as, melting, boiling, crystallization etc. Whereas, the change that involves bond making or bond breaking is called a chemical change.

Nuclear decay is an example of chemical change a heavy unstable atom breaks into two stable nuclei by emitting certain radiation. Forming or breaking of chemical bonds are chemical changes.

Melting of a substances is its change from solid to liquid state. At this temperature, the solid state and liquid state of a substance comes in equilibrium.

This process does not involve any bond making or breaking hence, it is a physical change. Therefore, D is correct.

An atom has 30 protons, 30 neutrons, and 30 electrons. What is the charge of the atom’s nucleus?
A: +30
B: +60
C: -30
D: -90

Answers

Answer:

+30

Explanation:

The nucleus holds both protons and neutrons. Since a neutron is neutral there is no charge. Protons are a positive charge. so the atoms nucleus is +30.

The charge on an atom's nucleus is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. The charge on the nucleus of the atom is +30.

The nucleus houses positive particles called protons. Each proton carries a charge of +1.

The magnitude of charge of the nucleus is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus.

Since there are 30 protons, the magnitude of  charge of the nucleus is expected to be + 30.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Have anice day

This electron cloud model of aluminum has 3 energy levels with 3 electrons on its outer energy level. Thus option C is correct.

What is electron cloud?

Electron cloud model is a type of model of an atom in which the atom consist of nucleus surrounded by a group of electrons. According to this model, the position of the electron at any given time is not known.

This model explains the zone of probability which describe the location of electron due to uncertainty principle. This model is described by Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Niels Bohr that electrons transmit energy and its properties that linked to light and energy.

The number of electrons in an electrically-neutral atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. The total electrical charge of the nucleus is  +Ze, where e is the elementary charge equals to 1,602 x 10-19coulombs.

Every electron is influenced by the electric fields produced by the positive nuclear charge and have (Z – 1) negative electrons in the atom.

Thus option C is correct.

You have a graduated cylinder with 10 mL of water in it.
You add 300 g of lead weights, and the volume of the
water rises to 40 mL. What is the density of the lead?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 10 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\[/tex]

From the question

mass = 300 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 40 - 10 = 30 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{300}{30} = \frac{30}{3} \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

10 g/mL

What is the hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 ?

Answers

Answer:

sp2

Explanation:

Orbital hybridization is defined as the changes in the orbitals of atoms when they pair with electrons of other atoms to form chemical bonds.

C atoms in C2Cl4 or tetrachloroethene have a total of three bond pairs, two with each chlorine atom and one with other carbon atom and zero lone pairs. Thus, C atoms in C2Cl4 is  sp2 hybridized.

Hence, the correct answer is "sp2".

The hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 is sp² hybridized.

The concept of hybridization deals with the merging of atomic orbitals to produce fresh hybridized orbitals, which impact molecule geometry and bonding characteristics.

In the given compound, C2Cl4 (tetrachloroethene)

There is a substitution of all the hydrogen atoms attached to the organic compound ethene with chlorine to produce tetrachloroethene. The two carbon atoms are doubly bonded to each other with two chlorine attached to each of the carbon atoms diagonally given rise to a bond angle of 120°.  Thus, the resulting hybridization of the C atom is sp² hybridized.

Therefore, we can conclude that the hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 is sp² hybridized.

I have a few question please help its due in a few hours 1. Determine the specific heat of a certain metal if a 450 gram sample of it loses 34,500J of heat as its temperature drops by 97K


2. The temperature of a 25 gram sample of a certain metal drops by 103 K as it loses 2600 joules of heat. What is the specific heat of the metal?


3.What is the final temperature after 840 Joules is absorbed by 10.0g of water at 298K?
(please show steps)

Answers

Answer:

c = 0.79 j/g.K

c = 1 j/g.K

T2 = 123.1 K

Explanation:

1)

Given data:

Mass of metal = 450 g

Heat loses = 34,500 j

Temperature drop = ΔT  = 97 K

Specific heat of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

34500 j = 450 g ×c × 97 K

34500 j = 43650 g.K ×c

c = 34500 j/43650 g.K

c = 0.79 j/g.K

2)

Given data:

Mass of metal = 25 g

Heat loses = 2600 j

Temperature drop = ΔT  = 103 K

Specific heat of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

2600 j = 25 g ×c × 103 K

2600  j = 2575 g.K ×c

c = 2600 j/2575 g.K

c = 1 j/g.K

3)

Given data:

Mass of water = 10 g

Heat absorbed  = 840 j

Initial temperature drop = 298 K

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

840 j = 10 g ×4.18 j/g.K × [T2 - 103 K]

840 j = 41.8 J/K ×  [T2 - 103 K]

840 J/41.8 J/ K = T2 - 103 K

20.1 k = T2 - 103 K

T2 = 20.1 K + 103 K

T2 = 123.1 K
