Which of the following elements will sulfur most readily react with in order to help it fill its outer shell with 8 electrons?

Chemistry

Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

Using the KLMN styled electronic configuration, the electronic configuration of sulphur with atomic number 16 is 2, 8,6

What this means is that it needs extra 2 electrons to fill into its M shell to attain the octet configuration.

Now let’s look at Magnesium, with atomic number 12, the electronic configuration it has is 2,8,2.

This means it has 2 extra electrons to give away so as to attain its own stability.

The sulphur atom will gladly accept the two electrons which the magnesium atom wants to give away. This makes it the perfect element to be reacted with sulphur to make it attain its octet configuration

Which gas law states that the pressure of a gas decreases when volume is increased and the temperature is unchanged
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Boyle's law

Explanation: It states that pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas at constant temperature.

P∝\frac{1}{V}       at constant temperature

or If the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases if the temperature is unchanged and If the pressure of gas is increased, the volume decreases if the temperature is unchanged.

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Determine the maximum amount of Fe that was produced during the experiment. Explain how you determined this amount.
dsp73

Answer:

5 moles of Fe

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2 Al(s) + Fe 2O 3(s) --> 2Fe (s) + Al 2O 3 (s)

Now;

1 mole of Fe2O3 require 2 moles of Al

3 moles of Fe2O3 requires 3 × 2/1 = 6 moles of Al

Hence Al is the limiting reactant.

If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of Fe

5 moles of Al yields 5 × 2/2 = 5 moles of Fe
