According to the octet rule, which of elements will have a tendency to loss 2 electrons?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.

When 500.0 g of water is decomposed by electrolysis and the yield of hydrogen is only 75.3%, how much hydrogen chloride can be m

Evgen [1.6K]

The amount of hydrogen chloride that can be made is 1064 g

Why?

The two reactions are:

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂ 75.3 % yield

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl 69.8% yield

We have to apply a big conversion factor to go from grams of water (The limiting reactant), to grams of HCl, the final product. We have to be very careful with the coefficients and percentage yields!

$500.0gH_2O*\frac{1moleH_2O}{18.01 gH_2O}*\frac{2 moles H_2}{2 moles H_2O}*\frac{2.015g H_2}{1 mole H_2}*\frac{75.3 actual g}{100 theoretical g}=42.12 g H_2$
