Why are the transition metals not isoelectronic with noble gas atoms?

1 answer:

8 0

The atoms and ions that have the similar electron configuration are named isoelectronic. The common ions of representative elements are isoelectronic with a noble gas. When forming ions, transition metals be unable to find their valence s-sublevel electrons before they lose their d-sub level electrons.

For a particular redox reaction, NO-2 is oxidized to NO-3 and Ag+ is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for this

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The following are the steps to complete and balnce the equation for the given reaction

Explanation:

We are given, NO2– is oxidized to NO3– and Ag is reduced to Ag

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

Step 1) Assign the oxidation state to each element reaction

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

N= +3 N = +5

O = -2 O = -2

Ag = +1 Ag = 0

NO2– -----> NO3– ………oxidation half reaction

Ag+ -----> Ag(s) ……….reduction half reaction

Step 2) Balance the element other than O and H

NO2– -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 3) Balance the O by adding 1 H2O for 1 O

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 4) Balance the H by adding H+

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 5) Balance the charge by adding electron

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

Ag+ + 1e------> Ag(s)

Step 6) Balance the electron in both half reaction

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

2 Ag+ + 2e------> 2 Ag(s)

What volume of a 6.67 m nacl solution contains 3.12 mol nacl??

natima [27]

The volume of a 6.67 m nacl solution that contains 3.12 mol nacl is 0.468.

You just need to follow this formula:

C = n / V

So, it will be

V = n / C

= 3.12 / 6.67 moles / Liter

= 0.468 L

Which of the following reactions have a positive ΔSrxn? Check all that apply.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The reactions that have a positive ΔS rxn are the first and the fourth choices:

2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)

2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)

Explanation:

ΔS rxn is the change of entropy of the chemical reaction.

ΔS rxn = S after reaction - S before reaction.

Therefore, a positive ΔS rxn means that the entropy after the reaction is greater than the entropy before the reaction.

You may use some assumptions to predict whether a reaction will lead an increase or decrease of the entropy.

First, assume that all the non-shown conditions, such as temperature and pressure, are constant.

Under that assumption, and from the meaning of entropy as a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system you can predict the sign of the change of entropy.

2A(g) + B(s) → 3C(g)

1) The solid compounds, B(s) in this case, are very ordered and so they have low entropy.

2) Gas molecules are highly disordered (scattered), and the greater the number of molecules of the gas the larger the entropy, S).

Hence, since the product side shows 3 gas molecules and the reactant side shows 2 gas molecules and 1 solid molecule, you predict that the products have a larger entropy than the reactants, meaning an increase in entropy: ΔS rxn is positive.

2A(g) + B(g) → C(g)

Using the same reasoning, 3 gas molecules in the reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

A(g) + B(g) → C(g)

Again, 2 gas molecules in the reactant side have more entropy than 1 molecule in the product side, and so the reaction leads to a decrease in the entropy: ΔS rxn is negative

2A(g) + 2B(g) → 5C(g)

With the same reasoing, 5 molecules in the product side, lets you predict that will have more entropy than 4 molecules in the reactant side, and, the entropy will increase: ΔS rxn is positive.
