Answer:

Weight of element X = 14.01 gram

Explanation:

Mass percentage is calculated by using :

Percent =\frac{Mass\ of\ element}{Total\ mass}\times 100

O\ Percent=\frac{Mass\ of\ O}{Total\ mass\ of\ XO2}\times 100

Mass of O = 16.0 gram

let mass of X = X grams = ?

Mass of XO2 = mass of X + 2(mass of O)

Mass of XO2 = X + 2(16)

Mass of XO2 = X + 32

Total mass of O in the compound = 2(16) = 32 grams

Percent O = 69.55 %

Percent\ O =\frac{Mass\ of\ O}{Total\ mass\ of\ XO2}\times 100

69.55=\frac{32}{X+32}\times 100

\frac{69.55}{100}=\frac{32}{X+32}

0.6955=\frac{32}{X+32}

0.6955\times (X+32)=32

0.6955X+ 22.256=32

0.6955X=9.744

X=\frac{9.744}{0.6955}

X =14.01

weight of element X = 14.01 gram

14.01 is mass of nitrogen N

The correct formula of this element is NO2

If 5.0 liters H2 (g) at STP is heated to a temperature of 985, pressure remaining constant, the new volume of the gas will be?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

V_2=18 \ L \ H_2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Gas Laws</u>

  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K
  • Charles' Law: \frac{V_1}{T_1} =\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Initial Volume: 5.0 L H₂ gas

Initial Temp: 273 K

Final Temp: 985 K

Final Volume: ?

<u>Step 2: Solve for new volume</u>

  1. Substitute:                    \frac{5 \ L \ H_2}{273 \ K} =\frac{x \ L \ H_2}{985 \ K}
  2. Cross-multiply:             (5 \ L \ H_2)(985 \ K) = (x \ L \ H_2)(273 \ K)
  3. Multiply:                        4925 \ L \ H_2 \cdot K = 273x \ L \ H_2 \cdot K
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                       18.0403 \ L \ H_2 = x
  5. Rewrite:                         x=18.0403 \ L \ H_2

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>We are given 2 sig figs as the smallest. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

<em />18.0403 \ L \ H_2 \approx 18 \ L \ H_2<em />

What is the change in atomic number when an atom emits a beta particle?
salantis [7]

When an atom emits a beta particle from the nucleus, the nucleus only has one more proton and one less neutron and this will make the atomic mass number remains unchanged while the atomic number increases by 1.

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes
eduard
Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.
