Answer:

F (Fluorine) has (8-1 = 7) electrons in outer most shell and so, it will try to bond with an atom which has only 1 electron in its outer most shell.

Explanation:

According to Octet rule, most of the atoms are said to be stable if it has 8 electrons in its outermost shell. As already said, Fluorine atom has 7 electrons while it requires 1 more electron to attain stability.

Hence, F atom will try to join another atom with only one electron in outer shell, like H, Li and Na.

Answer:

Its either with itself to become fluoride Fl2 or with an alkali metal (elements in group 1) to achieve a stable electronic configuration or octet structure

Methane and chlorine react to form four products: CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3, and CCl4. At a particular temperature and pressure, 38.4

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

How many grams of CCL4 were formed? 116.9 g

How many grams of Cl2 reacted with the CH4? 243.8 g

Explanation:

First we need to know the molar mass for every element or compound in the reaction:

$M_{CH_{4}}=16 g/mol\\M_{CH_{3}Cl}=50.49g/mol\\M_{CH_{2}Cl_{2}}=84.93g/mol\\M_{CHCl_{3}}=119.38g/mol\\M_{CCl_{4}}=153.82g/mol$

Now we proceed to calculate the amount of moles produced, per product:

$n_{CH_{4}}=2.4\\n_{CH_{3}Cl}=0.18\\n_{CH_{2}Cl_{2}}=0.55\\n_{CHCl_{3}}=0.91\\n_{CCl_{4}}=n_{CH_{4}}-(n_{CH_{3}Cl}+n_{CH_{2}Cl_{2}}+n_{CHCl_{3}})\\n_{CCl_{4}}=0.76mol\\m_{CCl_{4}}=n_{CCl_{4}}*M_{CCl_{4}}\\m_{CCl_{4}}=116.9g$

To calculate the mass of chlorine we just need to make a mass balance:

$m_{CH_{4}}+m_{Cl_{2}}=m_{CH_{3}Cl}+m_{CH_{2}Cl_{2}}+m_{CHCl_{3}}+m_{CCl_{4}}\\m_{Cl_{2}}=m_{CH_{3}Cl}+m_{CH_{2}Cl_{2}}+m_{CHCl_{3}}+m_{CCl_{4}}-m_{CH_{4}}\\m_{Cl_{2}}=243.8g$

Assume the cup of tea has cooled off faster than the pot of tea. In which liquid would the molecules be moving faster and in whi

OLga [1]

In the pot of tea the molecules would be moving faster than in the cooled cup of tea. As liquid is heated the atoms vibrate faster which increases the distance between them. When heat leaves a substance, the molecules vibrate slower and get closer.

HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so

CaHeK987 [17]

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.
