The tendency of an element to react is closely related to

1 answer:

8 0

C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)

Problem PageQuestion The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)

2. 14.5 g NaN₃

Explanation:

The answer is incomplete, as it is missing the required values to solve the problem. An internet search shows me these values for this question. Keep in mind that if your values are different your result will be different as well, but the solving methodology won't change.

" The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces large volumes of nitrogen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen. 2. Suppose 71.0 L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 16.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. "

1. The reaction that takes place is:

2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)

2. We use PV=nRT to calculate the moles of N₂ that were produced.

P = 1 atm

V = 71.0 L

n = ?

T = 16.0 °C ⇒ 16.0 + 273.16 = 289.16 K

1 atm * 71.0 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 289.16 K

n = 0.334 mol

Now we convert N₂ moles to NaN₃ moles:

0.334 mol N₂ * $\frac{2molNaN_{3}}{3molN_2}$ = 0.223 mol NaN₃

Finally we convert NaN₃ moles to grams, using its molar mass:

0.223 mol NaN₃ * 65 g/mol = 14.5 g NaN₃

Most of the costs associated with using renewable resources are due to

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

a. overuse of resources is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Renewable resources are available and they are abundant but overuse of these renewable resources will have a negative effect on the surroundings and humans.

Overuse of renewable resources will leads to the depletion of these renewable sources in the future and will also make the ecosystem unbalance.

Renewable resources are solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, wind energy, hydro energy.

Thus renewable resources are threatened due to overuse and it must be carefully used.

In which of the following equilibrium systems will an increase in the volume cause the equilibrium to shift away from the reacta

Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g)

Explanation: For volume changes in equillibrium, the following are to be taken into consideration:

Volume changes have no effect on equillibrium system that contains solid or aqueous solutions.
An increase in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces more moles of gas.
A decrease in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces less moles of gas.
Volume changes will have no effect on the equillibrium system if there is an equal number of moles on both sides of the reaction.

2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g) is the equillibrium system because there are more moles of products,therefore an increase in the volume of the reaction will shift to the right and produce more moles of products. Also both reactants and products exist in the gaseous state and does not have equal number of moles.
