Chemistry
1 answer:
photoshop1234 [79]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ground state electron configuration of potassium (K) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. The valency of the element is determined by electron configuration in the excited state. This electron configuration shows that the last shell of the potassium atom has an unpaired electron (4s1). So the valency of potassium is 1.

1. 9.36 moles S

2. 0.213 moles Al

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2Al+3S⇒Al₂S₃

Required

moles of S

moles of Al

Solution

The reaction coefficient in a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the compounds involved in the reaction (reactants or products)

  • 1. 3.12 moles Al₂S₃

From equation, mol ratio of Al₂S₃ : S = 1 : 3, so mol S :

= 3/1 x mol Al₂S₃

= 3/1 x 3.12

= 9.36 moles S

  • 2. 0.32 moles S

From equation, mol ratio of Al : S = 2 : 3, so mol Al :

= 2/3 x mol S

= 2/3 x 0.32

= 0.213 moles Al

All the elements of a family in the periodic table have what feature in common? A) They all have similar chemical properties. B)
arlik [135]

The correct answer is A) They all have similar chemical properties.

Explanation:

In chemistry, the periodic table organizes visually the chemical elements. In this, elements are arranged according to different features. In the case of families of the elements, these refer to elements organized in the same column, for example, elements that are in column 18 form a family called noble gases.

These elements form a family because they have chemical properties; in the case of noble gases, this includes similar reactivity and physical features such as color and odor. Besides this, the elements of one family share a similar electron configuration but not the same number of electrons. This means, from the options given the one that identifies the elements that belong to a family is "They all have similar chemical properties".
