Enter your answer in the provided box. How many unpaired electrons are present in the ground state of the atoms in Group 6A(16)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two unpaired electrons

Explanation:

The elements of group 16 include; oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium etc. These elements contain six electrons on their outermost shells. These six electrons are comprised of two lone pairs and two unpaired electrons. The outermost electron configuration of group 16 elements is ns2np4.

Let us take a well known example, look at the formation of water. Oxygen contains two lone pairs of electrons and two unpaired electrons which are used to bond to two hydrogen atoms to form H2O. Similar hydrides are formed with other group 16 elements.

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed
Mariana [72]
It has to be understood that 2 moles of oxygen are there in each mole of PbO2. Then it has to be calculated for 2 moles of oxygen.

Amount of oxygen = 2 * 5.43 moles
                              = 10.86 moles
Now it is also a fact that each mole of H2O contains 1 mole of oxygen. Then it can be easily concluded that 10.86 moles of water will be produced. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

And electro chemical cell has the following standard cell notation:
pochemuha

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Standard cell notation:

Mg(s) | Mg2+ (aq) || Ag+(aq)| Ag(s)

Required

a balanced redox reaction

Solution

At the cathode the reduction reaction occurs, the anode oxidation reaction occurs

In reaction:  

Ag⁺ + Mg → Ag + Mg²⁺  

half-reactions

  • at the cathode (reduction reaction)

Ag⁺ (aq) + e⁻ ---> Ag (s)  x2

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---> 2Ag (s)

  • at the anode (oxidation reaction)

Mg (s) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e−

a balanced cell reaction

<em>2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq) </em>

Complete the following paragraph.
gladu [14]

Explanation:

the stationary phase in TLC is a <u>silica gel coated metal plate or paper</u>.

The<u> individual</u> component of the mixure will travel a greater distance up the plate, resulting in a <u>Rf</u> value for the component.

the <u>p-Xylene  spot </u> will travel a greater distance as it is the <u>lighter</u> component

Bromobenzene will travel least as it is the <u>heavier</u> component.

thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a type of chromatographic seperation technique that is based on the molecular size of components. the Rf value is the distance covered by the component relative to that travelled by the solvent which is the mobile phase

How much heat is absorbed in the complete reaction of 3.00 grams of SiO2 with excess carbon in the reaction SiO2(g) + 3C(s) → Si
defon

Answer:

31.24 kJ

Explanation:

  • SiO₂(g) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)        ΔH° = 624.7 kJ/mol

First we <u>convert 3.00 grams of SiO₂ to moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 3.00 g SiO₂ ÷ 60.08 g/mol = 0.05 mol

Now we <u>calculate the heat absorbed</u>, using the <em>given ΔH°</em>:

If the complete reaction of 1 mol of SiO₂ absorbs 624.7 kJ, then with 0.05 mol:

  • 0.05 mol * 624.7 kJ/mol = 31.24 kJ of heat would be absorbed.
