Which pair of elements is most apt to form a molecular compound with each other?

1 answer:

4 0

The pair of elements which is most apt to form a molecular compound with each other would be sulfur and fluorine. In general, a nonmetal and a gas is most likely to form a molecular compound. Considering two metal molecules, most likely these metal atoms would not form a molecule since they are both positive when in ionic form and tends to donate electrons to another atom. For a situation where you have a nonmetal and a metal atom, it would not still be possible to form a molecular atoms since they are likely to form ionic bonds resulting to an ionic compound.

Calculate the electrical energy per gram of anode material for the following reaction at 298 K:

solmaris [256]

43.8 kJ

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?

The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.

Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, n, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.

Let $w_\text{max}$ represents the electrical energy produced.

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E_\text{cell}$ , where

n is the number of moles electrons transferred,
F is the Faraday's constant,
E $_\text{cell}$ is the cell potential,

n = 0.144 mol, as shown above, and

F = 96.486 kJ / ( $\text{V} \cdot \text{mol} \; \text{e}^{-}$ ).

Therefore,

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E\\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 0.144 \times 96.486 \times 3.15 \\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 43.8 \; \text{kJ}$ .

EXTRA POINTSSS 1. A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution?

Answer:

Concentration of OH⁻:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

The following equilibrium goes on in aqueous solutions:

$\text{H}_2\text{O}\;(l)\rightleftharpoons \text{H}^{+}\;(aq) + \text{OH}^{-}\;(aq)$ .

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the self-ionization constant of water:

$K_w = [\text{H}^{+}]\cdot[\text{OH}^{-}]$ .

Note that water isn't part of this constant.

The value of $K_w$ at 25 °C is $10^{-14}$ . How to memorize this value?

The pH of pure water at 25 °C is 7.
$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}} = 10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$
However, $[\text{OH}^{-}] = [\text{H}^{+}]=10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ for pure water.
As a result, $K_w = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot[\text{OH}^{-}] = (10^{-7})^{2} = 10^{-14}$ at 25 °C.

Back to this question. $[\text{H}^{+}]$ is given. 25 °C implies that $K_w = 10^{-14}$ . As a result,

$\displaystyle [\text{OH}^{-}] = \frac{K_w}{[\text{H}^{+}]} = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.0\times 10^{-5}} = 10^{-9} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Answer:

KNO2, KBr

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. So NO2 and KBr are compounds, Br2 and Fe are not.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

3.41 x10⁶ torr

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the equivalency:

1 torr = 133.322 Pa

Then we can proceed to convert 4.55×10⁸ Pa into torr. To do that we just need to multiply that value by a fraction number, putting the unit that we want to convert from in the denominator, and the value we want to convert to in the numerator:

4.55x10⁸ Pa * $\frac{1torr}{133.322Pa} =$ 3.41 x10⁶ torr
