The valence electron of an atom has the highest energy level and is found on the outermost energy level. It is also the group number

It's how many are in the element's outer layer. The layers go: 2, 8, then 8.

Ex-6 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 4 left. If that layer holds 8, you can do 8-4 and it has 4 valence electrons.

Ex-10 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 0 left. It has 8 valence electrons because the outermost layer is full with 8.

ex-11 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer is full as well. 2+8=10; it has 1 left. So that element has only one valence electron.

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g)+2H2(g)?C2H6(g)
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Keq =1.50108

Explanation:

The given reactionis

 C₂H₂(g) +2H₂(g) -------------> C₂H₂(g)

   ΔG0 f=ΔG0f n (products) - ΔG0f n (reactants )

              = -32.89 kJ/mol - (209.2 kJ/mol+2*0.0 kJ/mol)

              = - 242.09kJ/mol

   ΔG= -RTlnKeq

   ln Keq = -ΔG/RT

           =-(- 242.09kJ/mol ) / 2 k cal /mol*298 K

           =0.406

    Keq =e0.406

         Keq =1.50108

Explain how sodium and calcium react with water. explain with equations

Reaction of sodium with water

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).

2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

13. Which statement best describes an element? *
Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

Distinguish chemical substances from mixtures

Key Points

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components.

A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.

A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances where the various components can be visually distinguished.

A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

Various separation techniques exist in order to separate matter, including include distillation, filtration, evaporation and chromatography. Matter can be in the same phase or in two different phases for this separation to take place.

Terms

substanceA form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It is composed of one type of atom or molecule.

elementA chemical substance that is made up of a particular kind of atom and cannot be broken down or transformed by a chemical reaction.

mixtureSomething that consists of diverse, non-bonded elements or molecules.

A 5.0 L sample of gas at 300. K is heated to 600. K. What will the new volume of the gas be?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

V_2=10L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required new volume by using the Charles' law as a directly proportional relationship between temperature and volume:

\frac{V_2}{T_2} =\frac{V_1}{T_1}

In such a way, we solve for V2 and plug in V1, T1 and T2 to obtain:

V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{5.0L*600K}{300K}\\\\V_2=10L

Regards!
