Answer: Cesium (Cs)

Explanation:

Elements lose or gain electrons in their valence shell so as to maintain stability by either forming duplets or octet configuration. I.e 2 electrons in its outer shell to form duplet or 8 in its outer shell to form octet configurations. All metals with exception of Metalloids lose electrons in its outer shell corresponding to its group number to form stability. I.e group 1 elements lose 1 electrons to form stability, group two elements lose 2 electrons, group 3 and so on. From the elements listed above, Cesium is a group 1 element and it will require to lose 1 electron so as to form stability. Magnesium (Mg) loses 2 electrons to form stability, Fluorine (F) a non metal from group (vii) requires 1 electron to be stable and boron a group (v) element would need 3 electrons to form stability.

The combustion of ethane ( C 2 H 6 ) produces carbon dioxide and steam. 2 C 2 H 6 ( g ) + 7 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 CO 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O (
grigory [225]

Answer:

10.6 moles of CO₂ are produced in this combustion

Explanation:

The combustion reaction is:

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (g)

We assume the ethane as the limiting reactant because the excersise states that the O₂ is in excess.

We make a rule of three:

2 moles of ethane can produce 4 moles of CO₂

Therefore 5.30 moles of ethane will produce (5.3 . 4) /2 = 10.6 moles

A soluble iodide was dissolved in water. Then an excess of silver nitrate, AgNO3, was added to precipitate all of the io- dide i
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

m_{I^-}=1.18gI^-

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the reaction is given as:

I^-+AgNO_3\rightarrow AgI+NO_3^-

Thus, starting by the yielded grams of silver iodide, we obtain:

n_{I^-}=2.185gAgI*\frac{1molAgI}{234.77gAgI}*\frac{1molI}{1molAgI}=9.31x10^{-3}molI^-

Which correspond to the iodide grams in the silver iodide. In such a way, by means of the law of the conservation of mass, it is known that the grams of each atom MUST remain constant before and after the chemical reaction whereas the moles do not, therefore, the mass of iodine from the silver iodide will equal the mass of iodine present in the soluble iodide, thereby:

m_{I^-}=9.31x10^{-3}molI^-\frac{127gI^-}{1molI^-} =1.18gI^-

And the rest, correspond to the iodide's metallic cation which is unknown. Such value has sense since it is lower than the initial mass of the soluble iodide which is 1.454g, so 0.272 grams correspond to the unknown cation.

Best regards.
