Why does bromine not react with aqueous potassium chloride

1 answer:

8 0

Hey there,
That is because, chlorine is more reactive than Bromine.

**Important note: The lower you go in the periodic table of elements, the less reactive the elements become.

Hope this helps :))

What’s the electron configuration of an N-3 ion

Alla [95]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6

Explanation:

The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.

Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.

Combustion analysis of 0.600 g of an unknown compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 1.043 g of CO2 and 0.5670

Aliun [14]

Answer : The empirical formula of the compound is $C_3H_8O_2$

Explanation :

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=1.043g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.5670g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.043 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.043=0.284g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.5670 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.5670=0.063g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.600) - (0.284 + 0.063) = 0.253 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.284g}{12g/mole}=0.0237moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.063g}{1g/mole}=0.063moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.253g}{16g/mole}=0.0158moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0158 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0237}{0.0158}=1.5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.063}{0.0158}=3.98\approx 4$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0158}{0.0158}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 1.5 : 4 : 1

To make in a whole number we are multiplying the ratio by 2, we get:

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 8 : 2

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 8 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_8O_2$
