Use the shell model to explain why a potassium atom, k, is larger than a sodium atom, na.

1 answer:

8 0

A potassium atom has a higher proton number meaning that it has more protons and electrons. Due to the Octet Rule, the more electrons an atom has the more shells it has and so will be bigger in size.

Mg3N2(s)+6H2O(l)→3Mg(OH)2(s)+2NH3(g) When 36.0 g of H2O react, how many grams of NH3 are produced? When 36.0 g of H2O react, how

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

11.3 g of $NH_{3}$ are produced from 36.0 g of $H_{2}O$

Explanation:

1. The balanced chemical equation is the following:

$Mg_{3}N_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)=3Mg(OH)_{2}(s)+2NH_{3}(g)$

2. Use the molar mass of the $H_{2}O$ , the molar mass of the $NH_{3}$ and the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical reaction to find how many grams of $NH_{3}$ are produced:

Molar mass $H_{2}O$ = 18 $\frac{g}{mol}$

Molar mass $NH_{3}$ = 17 $\frac{g}{mol}$

$36.0gH_{2}O*\frac{1molH_{2}O}{18gH_{2}O}*\frac{2molesNH_{3}}{6molesH_{2}O}*\frac{17gNH_{3}}{1molNH_{3}}=11.3gNH_{3}$

Therefore 11.3 g of $NH_{3}$ are produced from 36.0 g of $H_{2}O$
