The electron sea model for metals suggest that the valence electrons drift freely around the metal cations.
Answer: B
Explanation
The sea model of electron is used for describing the mechanism of metallic bonding.
The metallic bonding generally occurs between 2 or more metals leading to the formation of alloys.
According to electron sea model, the electrons which contributes to the metallic bond are mostly the valence electrons of the atoms, these valence electrons get de-localized and can move freely around the nuclei of other atoms.
Overall, it seems like nuclei of positive charge is surrounded by sea of negative electrons.

The key to any dilution calculation is the dilution factor
The dilution factor essentially tells you how concentrated the stock solution was compared with the diluted solution.
In your case, the dilution must take you from a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of 18.5 M to a diluted solution of 1.5 M, so the dilution factor must be equal to
DF=18.5M1.5M=12.333
So, in order to decrease the concentration of the stock solution by a factor of 12.333, you must increase its volume by a factor of 12.333by adding water.
The volume of the stock solution needed for this dilution will be
DF=VdilutedVstock⇒Vstock=VdilutedDF
Plug in your values to find
Vstock=25.0 L12.333=2.0 L−−−−−
The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the concentration od the diluted solution.
So, to make 25.0 L of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solution, take 2.0 L of 18.5 M hydrochloric acid solution and dilute it to a final volume of 25.0 L.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not forget that you must always add concentrated acid to water and not the other way around!
In this case, you're working with very concentrated hydrochloric acid, so it would be best to keep the stock solution and the water needed for the dilution in an ice bath before the dilution.
Also, it would be best to perform the dilution in several steps using smaller doses of stock solution. Don't forget to stir as you're adding the acid!
So, to dilute your solution, take several steps to add the concentrated acid solution to enough water to ensure that the final is as close to 25.0 L as possible. If you're still a couple of milliliters short of the target volume, finish the dilution by adding water.
Always remember
Water to concentrated acid →.NO!
Concentrated acid to water →.YES!
<span>The
density of an object is defined to be its mass divided by the volume it
occupies. For this problem, the mass of the cube was given to be 25 g while its
volume is 125 cm</span>³. Thus, we simply divide 25 g by 125 cm³ to get the object’s density. We then calculate that the cube has a density of
0.2 g/ cm³.
A gauge records the pressure over atmospheric pressure (0kpa on the gauge is actually the atmospheric pressure and a reading of 276kpa is 276kpa over atmospheric pressure). That means that means that to find absolute pressure you just add atmospheric pressure (around 1atm (101kpa)) to 286kpa to get 387kpa. I hope this helps.
