Answer:

The answer to your question is: Oxygen (O) and Selenium (Se)

Explanation:

Elements located in group VIA needs to gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas electron configuration.

Oxygen (O) is located in group VIA so it needs to gain two electrons to become stable.

Strontium (Sr) is located in group IIA so it needs to lose 2 electrons to become stable.

Sodium (Na) is located in group IA so it needs to lose one electron to become stable.

Selenium (Se) is located in group VIA so it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.

Bromine (Br) is located in group VIIA so it needs to gain one electron to become stable.

How many grams of XeF6 are required to react with 0.579 L of hydrogen gas at 6.46 atm and 45°C in the reaction shown below?

ankoles [38]

The chemical reaction equation for this is

XeF6 + 3H2 ---> Xe + 6HF

Assuming gas behaves ideally, we use the ideal gas formula to solve for number of moles H2 with T = 318.15K (45C), P = 6.46 atm, V = 0.579L. Then we use the gas constant R = 0.08206 L atm K-1 mol-1.

we get n = 0.1433 moles H2

to get the mass of XeF6,

we divide 0.1433 moles H2 by 3 since 1 mole XeF6 needs 3 moles H2 to react then multiply by the molecular weight of XeF6 which is 245.28 g/mole XeF6.

0.1433 moles H2 x $\frac{1 mole XeF6}{3 moles H2}$ x $\frac{245.28 g XeF6}{1 mole XeF6}$ = 11.71 g XeF6

Therefore, 11.71 g of XeF6 is needed to completely react with 0.579 L of Hydrogen gas at 45 degrees Celcius and 6.46 atm.

A gas at 300 k and 4.0 atm is moved to a new loacation with a temperature of 250 k. The volume changes from 5.5 L to 2.0 L. What

alexgriva [62]

Answer is: <span>the pressure of the gas is 9,2 atm.
</span>p₁ = 4,0 atm.
T₁ = 300 K.
V₁ = 5,5 L.
p₂ = ?
T₂ = 250 K.
V₂ = 2,0 L.
Use combined gas law - the volume of amount of gas is proportional to the ratio of its Kelvin temperature and its pressure.<span>
</span>p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂.
4 atm · 5,5 L ÷ 300 K = p₂ · 2,0 L ÷ 250 K.
0,0733 = 0,008p₂.
p₂ = 9,2 atm.

The equation below represents a double replacement/displacement reaction;

Naddik [55]

AB+XY->AY+XB
We know that the answer would be KCl because of the switching that takes place during a double displacement reaction. Just like Zn and MnO4 switched and combined, the remaining elements, K and Cl, will combine.
We know that the answer is simply KCl because both K and Cl have an ion of only +/-1, meaning when they cross, no suffixes are made, since their ions are only 1.
For example, if you combined Mg with Cl, you would get MgCl2, because Mg has an ion of +2.
I hope this helps!

In the article "A Sea of Garbage" what message is each cartoon trying to convey to readers? Do they succeed?

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

yes in the article I see of garbage what's messages each carton trying to convey to your readers with a success obviously they do suck said they succeed because like that's really great day socks said is your garbage is like a pool of garbage work garbage are gathered together they are together a you get one talking about you know when cabbage and together they make efficient use of them okay I mean garbage garbage garbage garbage so I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know but it's really is regret it regret it was someone couldn't wish for our young people pick them up and see if garbage and it's really not making sense cuz when you see a sea of garbage that means there's water in there and people pull up garbage in be like water pollution or something but I'm actually not really like sure but I have a slight idea of like what we talking about here right now and it's great
