<h2>Antimony and Berllium</h2>

The antimony and beryllium ions are so small because atomic number of antimony and beryllium is 51 and 4. Beryllium tends to lose 2 electrons to form beryllium ions (Be2+) so it forms 4 coordinated complex ions, it does not form simple ions. Antimony gains 3 electrons to become stable or form an ion (Sb+3) so these ions are small.

Both ions and atoms tend to grow larger as we go down the periodic table because protons are added and atomic number increases. So new shells are also added. The new energy shells provide shielding effect so atomic size increases going down the group in the periodic table.

1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.

2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.

How many formula units are contained in 23.5 g of Sb2S3
wolverine [178]
The molar mass of Sb2S3 is approximately equal to 339.7 g/mol. We calculate the number of moles of Sb2S3 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. 
                                     n = 23.5 g / (339.7 g/mol)
                                        n = 0.0692 mols
To calculate for the number of formula units, we multiply the number of mols by the Avogadro's number, 
                            number of formula units = (0.0692 mols)(6.022 x 10^3)
                                                   = 4.167 x 10^22 formula units

How many moles of H3PO4 would produce 12 moles of water in this reaction? ЗKOH + H3PO4 K3PO4 + 3H20
Olenka [21]

Answer:

4 moles of H₃PO₄

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

     3KOH   + H₃PO₄   →   K₃PO₄   +  3H₂O

Number of moles of water  =  12moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of H₃PO₄ = ?

Solution:

 From the balanced reaction expression we see that;

          3 moles of water is produced from 1 mole of H₃PO₄

So;    12 moles of water would be produced from \frac{12}{3} = 4 moles of H₃PO₄

What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>URANIUM</u></em><em><u> </u></em></h2>

Explanation:

What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?

<em><u>Uranium</u></em> is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. <u>Uranium</u> is considered a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide. Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart.

If the container is closed and the ethanol is allowed to reach equilibrium with its vapor, how many grams of liquid ethanol rema
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

        V = 3.10 L,        T = 19^{o}C = (19 + 273)K = 292 K

       P = 40 torr    (1 atm = 760 torr)

So,     P = \frac{40 torr}{760 torr} \times 1 atm

             = 0.053 atm

          n = ?

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.

Putting the given values into the above equation to calculate the value of n as follows.

                 PV = nRT

   0.053 atm \times 3.10 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 292 K

                 0.1643 = n \times 23.97

                    n = 6.85 \times 10^{-3}

It is known that molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol. Hence, calculate its mass as follows.

               No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                 6.85 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{mass}{46 g/mol}  

                    mass = 315.1 \times 10^{-3} g

                              = 0.315 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of liquid ethanol is 0.315 g.
