How does the location of hydrogen on the periodic table differ from the locations of other nonmetals?

1 answer:

4 0

It's special, because it has only one electron, while the ideal "noble gas" configuration (helium) would call for two.

EXPLANATION:

So in one way it could 'try' to gain an electron as any element from halogen group (F-Cl-Br...) would do.
On the other hand it could lose its one electron, in which case it would belong to the alkali metals (Li-Na-K...).

In practice, H mostly shares its electron, either by covalent bonds, or by donating an electron and working together with H2O to form the H3O+or 'acid' ion.

In short, H is too special to to put it in a specific Group.

If the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3 what would be the volume of 550 g of gold?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

28.497 cm3

Explanation:

Formula

D=m/v

Given data:

density = 19.3g/cm3

mass = 550 g

Now we will put the values in formula:

V=m/d

V=550 g/ 19.3 g/cm3 = 28.497 cm3

So the volume of gold is 28.497 cm3.

What does it mean for a strong base to be in equilibrium?

prisoha [69]

The position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favoured. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium is a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs.

A very high value of K indicates that at equilibrium most of the reactants are converted into products.

The equilibrium constant K is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants raised to appropriate stoichiometric coefficients.

When the value of the equilibrium constant is very high, the concentration of products is much higher than the concentration of reactants.

This means that most of the reactants are converted into products and the position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favoured.

Hence, option A is correct.

Oxygen gas is collected over water. The total pressure (the O2 pressure the water vapor pressure) is 736 torr. The temperature o

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The value of the partial pressure of the oxygen $P_{O_{2} }$ = 690 torr

Explanation:

Total pressure of the mixture of gases = 736 torr

The partial pressure of water vapor = 46 torr

From the law of pressure we know that

Total pressure = The partial pressure of water vapor + The partial pressure of oxygen $O_{2}$

Put the values of pressures in above equation we get,

⇒ 736 = 46 + $P_{O_{2} }$

⇒ $P_{O_{2} }$ = 736 - 46

⇒ $P_{O_{2} }$ = 690 torr

This is the value of the partial pressure of the oxygen.

Neon lamps, is composed of 90.483% of 20ne, 0.271% of 21ne, and 9.253% of 22ne. the 20ne atoms have a mass of 19.992 u, 21ne ato

WITCHER [35]

20.181 u

The average atomic mass of Ne is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,

Avg. at. mass

= (0.904 83× 19.992 u) + (0.002 71 × 20.994) + (0.092 53× 21.991 u)

= 18.0894 u + 0.0569 u + 2.0348 u = 20.181 u
