<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

Reading a Periodic Table

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

1.58 mol CH₄

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CH₄ - 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 1.58 \ mol \ CH_4(\frac{16.05 \ g \ CH_4}{1 \ mol \ CH_4})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 25.359 \ g \ CH_4$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

25.359 g CH₄ ≈ 25.4 g CH₄

Carbon Monoxide is a toxic gas that is colorless and tasteless. How many moles of CO are in 1 L of the gas at STP?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

0.045 moles

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of CO = ?

Volume of gas = 1 L

Temperature and pressure = standard

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm× 1L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K

n = 1 atm.L / 22.41 atm.L/mol

n = 0.045 mol

1. What kinds of metals are REALLY reactive? why?

Olin [163]

Answer:

1. Alkali metals (group 1)

2. halogens (Group 17)

3. noble gasses (group 18)

Explanation:

1. alkali metals only have one valence electron meaning that they really want to lose that one valence electron to get a full octet.

2. halogens have 7 valence electrons meaning that they just need to gain 1 to get a full octet.

3. Nobel gasses already have a full octet meaning that they don't want to react. (atoms only react to get a full octet)

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

HELP ME PLEASE URGENT:

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

D. These elements have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

It can be concluded that the elements have properties of both metals and non-metals.

The elements that borders the ones described are both metals and non-metals. Most of these elements can be classified as metalloids.

On the periodic table, the elements around this region have properties of both metals and non-metals at certain temperature and pressure conditions.
