Do metals donate or accept electrons? what do they become after they donate/accept electrons?

1 answer:

8 0

Metal usually donates electrons. The concept behind this phenomenon is stability. The elements with the most stable electronic configuration are the noble gases in Group 5A. As a result, the other elements donate or accept electrons so that they would be like the noble gases. Since metals are past their nearest noble gas element, they have to shed their electrons. When they do, they become cations which are positively charged ions.

Hydrogen chloride gas and oxygen gas react to form water and chlorine gas. A reaction mixture initially contains 53.2 g of hydro

Sergio [31]

Answer: The mass of the excess reactant (oxygen gas) is 3.136 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For HCl:

Given mass of HCl = 53.2 g

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{53.2g}{36.5g/mol}=1.46mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 26.5 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{26.5g}{32g/mol}=0.828mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and oxygen gas follows:

$2HCl+O_2\rightarrow H_2O+Cl_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 1.46 moles of HCl will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1.46=0.73mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, HCl is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Excess moles of oxygen gas = (0.828 - 0.73) = 0.098 moles

Now, calculating the mass of oxygen gas from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Excess moles of oxygen gas = 0.098 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.098mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.098mol\times 32g/mol)=3.136g$

Hence, the mass of the excess reactant (oxygen gas) is 3.136 grams

Explain the changes in kinetic energy as a substance is heated to its melting point, and how these changes affect intermolecular

Drupady [299]

The more solid a substance is, the less kinetic energy there is. This is because there is not a lot of space for the atoms in the solid state to move. However, in the gaseous state, the atoms are far apart with plenty of space, this lets them create a lot more kinetic energy. Solids have a lot more intermolecular forces because the atoms are together. The IMF (intermolecular force) is what lets the atoms/molecules stick together. In the solid state, all the atoms are stuck together with little to no room in between. In the liquid state, it has a lot of IMF but is weaker then the IMF in the solid state. This is why you have so much resistance when you try to move through water. In the gaseous state, there is little to no IMF because the atoms are all so far apart. This makes it easier for everyone to move around.

To answer your question more directly: As the substance is heated to its melting point, there is an increase in kinetic energy, but decrease in intermolecular forces.
