An atom with one valence electron combines with an atom with seven valence electrons.

1 answer:

6 0

The atom with one valence electron is likely to lose its electron to form an ion with a +1 charge.

The principle behind this is simple. Atoms wish to have a stable electronic configuration, which requires that their valence shell be complete. If an atom has only one valence electron, then in order to achieve stable configuration, it is easier for it to get rid of the electron and move back to its last completed shell instead of trying to gain 7 electrons to complete the current valence shell.

If 20 grams of N2 react completely with H2 , how many moles of NH3 are produced? Show Work

Maslowich

This is the balanced eq
N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
first you need to find mole of N2 by using
mol = mass ÷ molar mass.
mol N2= 20g ÷ (14.01×2)g/mol
=0.7138mol
then look at the coefficient between H2 and NH3.
it is N2:NH3
1:2
0.7138:0.7138×2
0.7138:1.4276 moles
moles of NH3 = 1.4276 moles

In order for a solute to dissolve in a silver, what must be true?

Elis [28]

It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.

The resulting solution is called a saturated solution.

Certain substances are soluble in all proportions with a given solvent, such as ethanol in water.

This property is known as miscibility.

Under various conditions, the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded to give a so-called supersaturated solution, which is metastable.

The solvent is often a solid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture.

The species that dissolves, the solute, can be a gas, another liquid, or a solid.

Solubilities range widely, from infinitely soluble such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water.

The term insoluble is often applied to poorly soluble compounds, though strictly speaking there are very few cases where there is absolutely no material dissolved.

The process of dissolving, called dissolution, is relatively straightforward for covalent substances such as ethanol.

When ethanol dissolves in water, the ethanol molecules remain intact but form new hydrogen bonds with the water.

When, however, an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves in water, the sodium chloride lattice dissociates into separate ions which are solvated (wrapped) with a coating of water molecules.

Nonetheless, NaCl is said to dissolve in water, because evaporation of the solvent returns crystalline

Propane gas, C3H8, is sometimes used as a fuel. In order to measure its energy output as a fuel a 1.860 g sample was combined wi

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The heat of the reaction is 105.308 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Let the heat released during reaction be q.

Heat gained by water: Q

Mass of water ,m= 1kg = 1000 g

Heat capacity of water ,c= 4.184 J/g°C

Change in temperature = ΔT = 26.061°C - 25.000°C=1.061 °C

Q=mcΔT

Heat gained by bomb calorimeter =Q'

Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter ,C= 4.643 J/g°C

Change in temperature = ΔT'= ΔT= 26.061°C - 25.000°C=1.061 °C

Q'=CΔT'=CΔT

Total heat released during reaction is equal to total heat gained by water and bomb calorimeter.

q= -(Q+Q')

q = -mcΔT - CΔT=-ΔT(mc+C)

$q=-1.061^oC(1000 g\times 4.184J/g^oC+4.643 J/^oC )=-4,444.15J=-4.444 kJ$

Moles of propane = $\frac{1.860 g}{44 g/mol}=0.0422 mol$

0.0422 moles of propane on reaction with oxygen releases 4.444 kJ of heat.

The heat of the reaction will be:

$\frac{4.444 kJ}{0.0422 mol}=105.308 kJ/mol$
