A student explained to the class that helium has 8 valence electrons because it is in group 18. Is the student correct?

1 answer:

5 0

The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them.

10. What effect does temperature have on molecular motion? Using this explanation, explain why both pressure and volume can decr

vovangra [49]

Answer:

If the temperature increases the molecular movement as well, and if it increases the same it will happen with the molecular movement.

Pressure, volume and temperature are three factors that are closely related since they increase the temperature, the pressure usually decreases due to the dispersion of the molecules that can be generated, so the volume also increases.

If the temperature drops, the material becomes denser, its molecules do not collide with each other, their volume and pressure increases.

Explanation:

The pressure is related to the molecular density and the movement that these molecules have.

The movement is regulated by temperature, since if it increases, the friction and collision of the molecules also.

On the other hand, the higher the volume, the less pressure there will be on the molecules, since they are more dispersed among themselves.

(in the opposite case that the volume decreases, the pressure increases)

9. Using the balanced equation from Question #8, how many grams of lead will be produced if 2.54 grams of PbS is burned with 1.8

MissTica

Answer: 2.24 grams of Pb

Explanation:

Step 1

Balanced chemical reaction;

2PbS + 3O2 → 2Pb + 2SO3

Step 2

Moles of both PbS and O2

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of PbS = 2.54 g / 239.3 g/mol = 0.0108 moles

Moles of O2 = 1.88 / 32 g/mol = 0.0588 moles

Step 3

Finding the limiting reactant.

Limiting reactant, is that reactant which is completely used in the reaction;

If we assume that PbS is the limiting reactant;

We have 0.0588 moles of O2. This needs ( 0.0588 * 2) / 3 = 0.0392 moles of PbS to fully react. But we have only 0.0108 moles of PbS available. That means that the PbS will be completely consumed hence the limiting reactant

If we assume O2 is the limiting reactant;

We have 0.0108 moles of PbS. That needs ( 0.0108 * 3) / 2 = 0.0162 moles of O2. But we have 0.0588 moles of O2 which is in excess further confirming that PbS is the limiting reactant since it will be depleted in the reaction.

Step 4

Moles of lead

For this step we apply the mole ratios with the limiting reactant;

Mole ratio of PbS : Pb = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1

Therefore;

Moles of Pb = (0.0108 moles * 1 ) 1

Moles of Pb =0.0108 moles

Step 5

Mass of Pb

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass of Pb =0.0108 moles * 207.2 g/mol

Mass of Pb = 2.24 grams
