Which element can expand its valence shell to accommodate more than eight electrons? which element can expand its valence shell

Anvisha [2.4K]

According to octet rule, atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.

However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.

In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet.

While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: 1.6L

Explanation:

V1 = 1.50 L,

V2 =?

n1 = 3mol

n2 = 3 + 0.2 = 3.2mol

From PV = nRT

V1 /n1 = V2/n2

1.5/3 = V2 /3.2

V2 = (1.5/3/) x 3.2 = 1.6L

How many grams of calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) re theoretically produced if we start with 3.40 moles of Ca(NO3)2 and 2.40moles

sattari [20]

1) Balance the chemical equation.

$3Ca(NO_3)_2+2Li_3PO_4\rightarrow6LiNO_3+Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

2) List the known and unknown quantities.

Reactant 1: Ca(NO3)2.

Amount of substance: 3.40 mol.

Reactant 2: Li3PO4.

Amount of substance: 2.40 mol.

Product: Ca3(PO4)2

Mass: unknown.

3) Which is the limiting reactant?

3.1-How many moles of Li3PO4 do we need to use all of the Ca(NO3)2?

The molar ratio between Li3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2 is 2 mol Li3PO4: 3 mol Ca(NO3)2.

$mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4=3.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2*\frac{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4}{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}=2.2667\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4$

We need 2.2667 mol Li3PO4 and we have 2.40 mol Li3PO4. We have enough Li3PO4. This is the excess reactant.

3.2-How many moles of Ca(NO3)2 do we need to use all of the Li3PO4?

The molar ratio between Li3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2 is 2 mol Li3PO4: 3 mol Ca(NO3)2.

$mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2=2.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4*\frac{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4}=3.60\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2$

We need 3.60 mol Ca(NO3)2 and we have 3.40 mol Ca(NO3)2. We do not have enough Ca(NO3)2. This is the limiting reactant.

4) Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced from the limiting reactant.

We have 3.40 mol Ca(NO3)2 of the limiting reactant.

The molar ratio between Ca(NO3)2 and Ca3(PO4)2 is 3 mol Ca(NO3)2: 1 mol Ca3(PO4)2.

$mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=3.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2*\frac{1\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}=1.1313\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

5) Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced.

The molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 is 310.1767 g/mol.

$g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=1.1333\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2*\frac{310.1767\text{ }g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}{1\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}$ $g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=351.526\text{ }g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

The mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced is 351 g Ca3(PO4)2.

Option D.
