Stels [109]3 years ago

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

  • Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>

  • While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

  • Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>

  • F's atomic number: Z = 9
  • Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
  • Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons:  7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
  • Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>

  • Li's atomic number: Z = 3
  • Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>

  • Be's atomic number: Z = 4
  • Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>

  • B's atomic number: Z = 5
  • Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>

  • N's atomic number: Z = 7
  • Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>

  Atom          Zeff for a valence electron

  • F                   7
  • Li                   1
  • Be                 2
  • B                   3
  • N                   5

  • <u>Conclusion</u>: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F

What volume of H2O(g) is produced when 8.00 mol of C2H4(g) reacts at STP?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
* Mole ratio:

C2H4 + 3 O2= 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

1 mole C2H4 --------------- 2 moles H2O
8.00 moles C2H4 ---------- ?

8.00 x 2 / 1 => 16 moles of H2O

Therefore:

1 mole --------- 22.4 L at ( STP)
16 moles ------- ?

16 x 22.4 / 1 => 358.4 L

hope this helps!

Liquid A and liquid B form a solution that behaves ideally according to Raoult's law. The vapor pressures of the pure substances
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Vapor pressure of solution → 151.1 Torr

Option 2.

Explanation:

Raoult's Law is relationed to colligative property about vapor pressure. A determined solute, can make, the vapor pressure of solution decreases.

ΔP = P° . Xm

where Xm is the mole fraction of solute, P° (vapor pressure of pure solvent)

and ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution.

In order to determine the vapor pressure of solution, we need to determine, the vapor pressure of B and A in the solution

B's pressure = P° B . Xm

When we add A to B, A works as the solute and B, as the solvent.

Vapor pressure of pure B is 135 torr. (P° B)

In order to determine, the Xm, we use the moles of A and B

Xm = 5.3 mol of B / (1.28 + 5.3) → 0.806

B's pressure = 135 Torr . 0.806 → 108.81 Torr

If mole fraction of B is 0.806, mole fraction for A (solute) will be (1 - 0.806)

A's pressure = 218 Torr . 0.194 → 42.3 Torr

Vapor pressure of solution is sum of vapor pressures of solute + solvent.

Vapor pressure of solution = 42.3 Torr + 108.81 Torr → 151.1 Torr
