The elements of the "Noble" gases group is nonreactive. The reason for this is that noble gases are always or most of the time at room temperature.<span />

Answer:

The elements of group 18 or group of "Noble Gases" are non-reactive elements.

Explanation:

The reactivity of an element measures the tendency to combine with others. In the formation of compounds there is a tendency to catch, lose or share electrons between atoms.

The noble gases are placed in group 18 of the periodic table. The seven gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn) and oganeson (Og).  These gases have a very low chemical reactivity, that is, little combination with other elements of the periodic table. For that reason they are called inert gases. This behavior is due to its electronic configuration, because its outermost layer or valence layer is always complete, being the stable element by itself, without the need to borrow or share electrons.

As mentioned, noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they do not usually form bonds between atoms. This means that they don't react much with other substances, they don't even react between atoms of the same gas. The exceptions to this rule are few, and usually involve heavier noble gases, such as xenon or radon.

In summary, the elements of group 18 or group of "Noble Gases" are non-reactive elements.

If 8cm^3 of H2 reacts with an excess of Cl2, calculate how much of the HCL(g) is produced.
Rom4ik [11]
First, we need the balanced equation: H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2HCl

since not much information is given, I am assuming we are at STP and that 22.4 Liters= 1 mol

1) let's convert the volume to moles using the molar volume of a gas. also we need to convert the cm₃ to mL, then to Liters.

8 cm³ (1 ml/ 1 cm³)(1 L/ 1000 mL) (1 mol/ 22.4 Liters)= 3.6x10⁻⁴ moles of H₂

2) let's use the mole ratio of the balanced equation to convert moles of H₂ to moles of HCl

3.6x10⁻⁴ mol H₂ (2 mol HCl/ 1 mol H₂)= 7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl

3) lastly, we convert the moles of HCl to grams using the molar mass.

molar mass of HCl= 1.01 + 35.5= 36.51 g/mol

7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl (36.51 g/mol)=<span> 0.026 grams HCl</span>

What are the missing coefficients for the skeleton equation below?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

4, 3 , 2 and 6

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as;

       NH₃  +  O₂   →    N₂   +   H₂O

Now, we need to balance the reaction equation;

     NH₃  +  O₂   →    N₂   +   H₂O

put the numbers a,b,c and d;

    aNH₃  +  bO₂   →    cN₂   +   dH₂O  

We need to balance the equation algebraically, ;

  Conserving N;

      a = 2c

   Conserving H;

      3a  = 2d

   Conserving O;

      2b  = d

Now, let c = 1, a = 2, d  = 3 and b  = \frac{3}{2}  

  multiply through by 2;

            a  = 4, b = 3, c  = 2 and d  = 6

Insert the parameters:

                  4NH₃  +  3O₂   →    2N₂   +   6H₂O

3. Where are the metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table? What are some
xxTIMURxx [149]

Metals are located on the left of the periodic table, and nonmetals are located on the upper right.

Explanation: Metals: Lustrous (shiny)

Good conductors of heat and electricity.

High melting point.

High density (heavy for their size)

Malleable (can be hammered)

Ductile (can be drawn into wires)

Usually solid at room temperature (an exception is mercury)

Opaque as a thin sheet (can't see through metals)

Nonmetals: High ionization energies.

High electronegativities.

Poor thermal conductors.

Poor electrical conductors.

Brittle solids—not malleable or ductile.

Little or no metallic luster.

Gain electrons easily.

Dull, not metallic-shiny, although they may be colorful

What is/are the only reason(s) that a reaction may have a percent yield above 100%?
natta225 [31]
Usually, percent yield is lower than 100% because the actual yield is often less than the theoretical value. Reasons for this can include incomplete or competing reactions and loss of sample during recovery. Percent yield is always a positive value. I hope this can help you
