Separation of mixture of solids by physical methods can be based on differences in the following except
Detalles de la respuesta
Physical methods of separation involve the use of physical properties to separate mixtures of substances. Some physical properties that can be used for separation include melting point, solubility, particle size, molar mass, and magnetic property. However, molar mass is not typically used as a basis for separation of mixtures of solids by physical methods, as it is a property that relates to the composition of individual substances, rather than the mixture as a whole. Therefore, the answer is "molar mass."

An increase in the pressure of a gas results in a decrease in its
Detalles de la respuesta
An increase in the pressure of a gas results in a decrease in its volume. This is known as Boyle's law, which states that at a constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. In other words, as the pressure increases, the volume of the gas decreases and vice versa. This can be explained by the fact that increasing the pressure of a gas means that the gas particles are compressed closer together, resulting in less space between the particles and a smaller volume. Conversely, decreasing the pressure of a gas means that the gas particles are allowed to expand and take up more space, resulting in a larger volume.

Detalles de la respuesta
The electronic configuration of an element determines its reactivity and bonding behavior. Element X has two valence electrons in its outermost shell while Element Y has seven valence electrons. To achieve stability, Element X needs to lose its two valence electrons to form a cation with a +2 charge, while Element Y needs to gain one electron to form an anion with a -1 charge. This creates an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, resulting in an ionic bond. Therefore, the most likely type of bond that Element X and Y will form is an electrovalent or ionic bond.

The valence electrons of element 12Mg are in the
Detalles de la respuesta
The valence electrons of element 12 (Mg) are in the 3s orbital. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level (or shell) of an atom. In the case of magnesium, which has an atomic number of 12, the electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. This means that magnesium has 2 electrons in its 3s orbital, which is its outermost energy level. The 3s orbital is located in the third energy level (or shell) of the magnesium atom. The 1s and 2s orbitals are located in the first and second energy levels, respectively, and the 2px and 2py orbitals are also located in the second energy level. Valence electrons are important because they are involved in chemical bonding and reactions. In the case of magnesium, having 2 valence electrons in its 3s orbital allows it to form chemical bonds with other atoms by either losing or sharing those electrons. Therefore, the valence electrons of element 12 (Mg) are in the 3s orbital, which is located in the outermost energy level of the atom.

A given volume of methane diffuses in 20 seconds. How long will it take the same volume of sulphur (IV) oxide to diffuse under the same conditions? [CH4 = 16; SO2 = 64]
Detalles de la respuesta
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. This means that the heavier the gas, the slower it diffuses. The molar mass of methane (CH4) is 16, while the molar mass of sulphur (IV) oxide (SO2) is 64. Therefore, the ratio of the square root of the molar masses of methane to sulphur (IV) oxide is: √(64/16) = √4 = 2 This means that sulphur (IV) oxide diffuses at a rate that is 2 times slower than methane under the same conditions. Since it takes methane 20 seconds to diffuse, it will take sulphur (IV) oxide 2 times longer, which is: 20 x 2 = 40 seconds Therefore, the answer is 40 seconds.

Lead and tin are the components of
Detalles de la respuesta
Lead and tin are the components of "soft solder". Soft solder is a metal alloy that is used to join two metal pieces together, typically in electronics or plumbing applications. The most common composition of soft solder is 60% tin and 40% lead, although there are other compositions that can be used as well. The lead in soft solder helps to reduce the melting point of the alloy, making it easier to work with, while the tin provides strength and durability to the joint. Soft solder is called "soft" because it has a low melting point, usually around 180-190°C, which means it can be melted and applied with a soldering iron or torch. This makes it a useful material for a variety of applications where a strong, durable joint is needed, such as in electrical wiring or plumbing systems.

Detalles de la respuesta
The mass number of an element is the sum of its protons and neutrons. This is because protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, and together they contribute most of the mass of an atom. Electrons, on the other hand, are found in the electron shells outside of the nucleus and have negligible mass. Therefore, the mass number is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it helps to identify different isotopes of the same element.

Which of the following ions will migrate to the cathode during electrolysis?
Detalles de la respuesta
During electrolysis, positively charged ions (cations) migrate towards the negative electrode (cathode), whereas negatively charged ions (anions) migrate towards the positive electrode (anode). Therefore, the ion that will migrate to the cathode depends on the nature of the electrolyte solution and the electrode potential. Out of the options given, zinc ions (Zn²⁺) and tetraoxosulphate (VI) ions (SO₄²⁻) are both cations, which means they will migrate towards the cathode during electrolysis. Chloride ions (Cl⁻), sulphide ions (S²⁻), and trioxonitrate (V) ions (NO₃⁻) are all anions and will move towards the anode during electrolysis. Therefore, the answer to the question is either Zinc ions (Zn²⁺) or Tetraoxosulphate (VI) ions (SO₄²⁻), depending on the specific electrolyte solution and conditions of the electrolysis.

Detalles de la respuesta
If the value of ∆H for a reaction is negative, it means that the reaction is exothermic. An exothermic reaction releases heat to the surroundings. ∆H is the change in enthalpy during a reaction, and when ∆H is negative, it means that the products have lower enthalpy than the reactants. This implies that energy is released during the reaction, which results in the increase in temperature of the surroundings. Exothermic reactions are spontaneous, and they occur on their own without any external energy input.

Detalles de la respuesta
Ethene undergoes mainly addition reactions because it is unsaturated. This means that it contains a double bond between two carbon atoms, which is a reactive site for the addition of other molecules. In an addition reaction, the double bond is broken and new atoms or groups are added to the carbon atoms of the ethene molecule. This results in the formation of a new compound that contains all the atoms of the original reactants. Addition reactions are characteristic of unsaturated compounds like ethene, which have reactive double or triple bonds that can be easily broken to form new bonds.

A mixture of NaCI(s) and CaCO3(s) is best separated by
Detalles de la respuesta
The best method to separate a mixture of NaCl and CaCO3 is dissolution followed by filtration. This is because NaCl is soluble in water, while CaCO3 is not. By dissolving the mixture in water, NaCl will dissolve, while CaCO3 remains undissolved. Filtration can then be used to separate the insoluble CaCO3 from the solution containing the dissolved NaCl. The other options are not suitable because sublimation is not effective for separating NaCl and CaCO3, and dissolution followed by crystallization and evaporation will only work for the soluble component (NaCl) and not the insoluble component (CaCO3).

Alkanes react with the halogens mainly by
Detalles de la respuesta
Alkanes react with halogens mainly by substitution. In this type of reaction, one or more atoms or groups in a molecule are replaced by other atoms or groups. In the case of alkanes and halogens, a halogen atom substitutes a hydrogen atom in the alkane molecule, forming a halogenoalkane. The substitution occurs due to the greater reactivity of halogens compared to the alkane's carbon-hydrogen bonds. The process usually requires energy to initiate, such as heat or light. The reaction mechanism involves a free radical mechanism where the halogen molecule breaks into two halogen radicals, which react with alkane molecules to form alkyl radicals and hydrogen halides. The alkyl radicals react with halogen molecules to form halogenoalkanes and regenerate the halogen radicals, which continue the reaction.

An acid is a substance which in the presence of water produces
Detalles de la respuesta
An acid is a substance which in the presence of water produces hydroxonium ions. When an acid is dissolved in water, it dissociates into positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) and negatively charged ions. However, since the hydrogen ions are highly reactive, they immediately bond with water molecules to form hydroxonium ions (H3O+). This is why the presence of water is essential for acids to exhibit their acidic properties. The concentration of hydroxonium ions determines the acidity of a solution, and the more hydroxonium ions present, the stronger the acid. Salts, oxygen, effervescence, and hydrogen gas are not typically produced by the reaction between an acid and water.

The phenomenon observed when dust particles collide randomly in a beam of sunlight is known as
Detalles de la respuesta
The phenomenon observed when dust particles collide randomly in a beam of sunlight is known as the Tyndall effect. When a beam of light passes through a transparent medium, such as air, the path of the light appears straight and unobstructed. However, when the light passes through a medium containing particles, such as dust or smoke, the path of the light becomes visible and appears as a beam. This phenomenon is known as the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect occurs because the particles in the medium scatter the light in all directions, making the beam of light visible. When the scattered light enters the eye, it creates a visible path that appears as a beam of light. In the case of dust particles in a beam of sunlight, the dust particles act as the scattering medium, causing the light to scatter in all directions and making the beam of light visible. This can be observed in everyday situations, such as when dust particles are present in a room and sunlight enters through a window. Therefore, the phenomenon observed when dust particles collide randomly in a beam of sunlight is known as the Tyndall effect, which is caused by the scattering of light by particles in a medium.

What volume of oxygen at s.t.p would react with carbon to form 4.40g of CO2 according to the following equation? C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) [O = 16; C =12; 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4dm3 at s.t.p]
Detalles de la respuesta
The balanced chemical equation is C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g). From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide. The molar mass of CO2 is 12 + 2(16) = 44 g/mol. Given that 4.40 g of CO2 is formed, the number of moles of CO2 can be calculated as: number of moles = mass / molar mass = 4.40 g / 44 g/mol = 0.1 mol Since 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 1 mole of carbon to produce 1 mole of CO2, the number of moles of oxygen required is also 0.1 mol. Using the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, we can find the volume of oxygen required at standard temperature and pressure (s.t.p), where P = 1 atm, V = ?, n = 0.1 mol, R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol, and T = 273 K: V = nRT / P = 0.1 mol x 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol x 273 K / 1 atm = 2.24 L 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at s.t.p, so the volume of oxygen required is 2.24 L, which is.

Which of the following Group 1 elements has the highest ionization energy?
Detalles de la respuesta
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. The higher the ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron. As we move down Group 1 of the periodic table, the atomic radius increases, and the outermost electron is farther away from the positively charged nucleus. As a result, the ionization energy decreases. Therefore, the element with the smallest atomic radius in Group 1, which is Li, will have the highest ionization energy. Therefore, the answer is: 3Li.
