Answer:

A) 2Cu(s) + S(s) → Cu2S(s)

B) 2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) → 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g)

C) 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)

Explanation:

(A) Solid copper reacts with solid sulfur to form solid copper(I) sulfide.

Step 1: Data given

Solid copper = Cu(s)

solid sulfur = S(s)

solid copper (I)sulfide = Cu2S

Step 2: balancing the equation

Cu(s) + S(s) → Cu2S(s)

On the left side we have 1x Cu, on the right side we have 2x Cu (in Cu2S). To balance the amount of Cu we have to multiply Cu on the left side by 2.

2Cu(s) + S(s) → Cu2S(s)

(B) Liquid octane reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor.

Step 1: Data given

liquid octane = C8H18(l)

oxygen gas = O2(g)

carbon dioxide gas = CO2(g)

water vapor = H2O(g)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

C8H18(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g)

On the left side we have 8x C( in C8H18), on the right side we have 1 x C (in CO2). To balance the amount of C on both sides, we have to multiply CO2 on the right side by 8.

C8H18(l) + O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + H2O(g)

On the left side we have 36x H( in 2C8H18), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 18.

C8H18(l) + O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(g)

On the left side we have 2x O( in O2), on the right side we have 25x O (16x in CO2 and 9x in 9H2O). To balance the amount of O on both sides, we have to multiply O2 on the left side by 25. And all other coeffcients by 2.

2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) → 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g)

(C) Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide gas.

Step 1: Data given.

Sulfur dioxide gas = SO2(g)

oxygen gas = O2(g)

sulfur trioxide gas = SO3(g)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

SO2(g) + O2(g) → SO3(g)

On the left side we have 4x O (2x in SO2 and 2x in O2) and 3x O on the right side. To balance the amount of O on both sides, we have to multiply SO2 and SO3 both by 2.

2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)

Answer:

A. 2Cu(s) + S(s) → Cu₂S(s)

B. 2C₈H₁₈(g) + 25O₂(g) →  16CO₂(g) + 18H₂O(g)

C. 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)

Explanation:

A. Let's think the reactants:

Cu and S

The product is: CuS

Equation: 2Cu(s) + S(s) → Cu₂S(s)

B. The reactants are:

O₂ and C₈H₁₈

The products are: water and CO₂

This is a combustion reaction: 2C₈H₁₈(g) + 25O₂(g) →  16CO₂(g) + 18H₂O(g)

C. Reactants: SO₂ and O₂

Products: SO₃

Equation: 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)

Acid strength in a series of h−a molecules increases with increasing size of
-BARSIC- [3]
Hello there!

The statement that Acid strength in a series of H-A molecules increases with increasing size of A is True.

When only the size is involved, increasing the size will increase the Acid strength because as size increases, the H-A bond will become weaker as the atoms will be farther apart. Acid strength is related to the ability to release H⁺ ions and a weaker H-A bond will release H⁺ more easily. 

Have a nice day!

Which statements are true concerning elements in the same group of the periodic table? Select all that apply.
Tatiana [17]

The statements A and F are true concerning elements in the same group of the periodic table.  

To select all that apply, we need to evaluate each statement.

A. They have similar periodic properties.  

This statement is true. All the elements in the same group will have similar chemical and physical properties due to the electron configuration of their outer shell. For example, the alkali metals group (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr), has a valence electron configuration of s¹ (in the outer shell), which gives them the tendency to react vigorously with water, as well as other properties.      

B. They are all metals or nonmetals, but not both.

This is false. If we take a look at the p-block of the periodic table, we can see that the <u>groups</u> in this block are conformed by nonmetals, metals, and metalloids. For example, the icosagens group is formed by metalloids (B) and metals (Al, Ga, In, Tl).          

 

C. They are either all solids or all liquids or all gases.

This is false. In some groups, all the elements are solids (alkaline earth metals) or gases (group of noble gases), but in others, the groups are conformed by gases with solids (pnictogens group) or by gases with liquids (halogens group).  

   

D. They have the same number of shells of electrons.

This is false. In a group, the number of shells <u>increases from top to bottom</u> in the periodic table. For example, the electron configuration of the elements in the alkali metals is:        

  • H: 1s¹      
  • Li: [He]2s¹
  • Na: [Ne]3s¹
  • K: [Ar]4s¹
  • Rb: [Kr]5s¹
  • Cs:  [Xe]6s¹
  • Fr: [Rn]7s¹

We can see that hydrogen has 1 shell and Cs has 6 shells.  

E. They have the same number of inner core electrons.

This is false. As we said at point D, the number of shells increases from top to bottom in a group, so the number of inner core electrons also increases in this order. For example, in the alkaline earth metals group, the electron configuration of the elements is:  

  • Be: [He]2s²
  • Mg: [Ne]3s²
  • Ca: [Ar]4s²
  • Sr: [Kr]5s²
  • Ba: [Xe]6s²
  • Ra: [Rn]7s²

As we can see, the number of inner shells increases from Be ([He]) to Ra ([Rn]).    

F. They have the same outer shell electron configuration.

This is true. As we said at point A, the elements in the same group will have the same electron configuration of the outer shell (valence electron configuration). At points D and E, we can see that the valence electron configuration is the same for all the elements in the groups.    

Therefore, statements A and F are true.

I hope it helps you!
