Can arsenic be broken down by a chemical change

Chemistry
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
7 0
Arsenic is a pure element. Elements (atoms) are the simplest building blocs excluding smaller elementary particles such as electrons, neutrons, quarks, protons etc. 

This means that Arsenic can not be broken down any further by chemical change, only nuclear decay can cause the breakdown of large elements into smaller ones. Chemical change would be the combination of multiple elements into a compound or the decomposition of a molecule/compound into pure elements or smaller compounds.

Name one element with similar chemical properties to lithium
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Sodium

Explanation:

Its neighbor to the bottom (sodium) has similar properties to lithium. Group trends are very strong for the Group 1 (alkali) and Group 2 (alkaline earths) metals. Group 1 elements behave very similarly to each other.

What are the missing coefficients for H3PO4 + HCl = PCl5 + H2o
grigory [225]

Answer:

H3PO4 + 5 HCl → PCl5 + 4 H2O

Explanation:

The given equation is

H3PO4 + HCl = PCl5 + H2O

The above chemical equation has one P atom on both the sides, hence phosphorus is balanced

There are 5 Cl on the RHS but only one Cl on the LHS. On balancing the chlorine, we get -

H3PO4 + 5HCl = PCl5 + H2O

Now, there are 8 hydrogen atom on the LHS but only two on the RHS. On balancing the hydrogen on both the sides, the new equation become

H3PO4 + 5HCl = PCl5 + 4H2O

Let us check for oxygen

Oxygen on LHS = 4 and oxygen on RHS = 4

Thus, the balanced equation is H3PO4 + 5HCl = PCl5 + 4H2O

What is the theoretical yield of vanadium, in moles, that can be produced by the reaction of 1.0 mole of V2O5 with 4.0 moles of
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of vanadium = 1.6 moles

Explanation:

Moles of V_2O_5 = 1.0 moles

Moles of Ca = 4.0 moles

According to the given reaction:-

V_2O_5_{(s)} + 5Ca_{(l)}\rightarrow 2V_{(l)} + 5CaO_{(s)}

1 mole of V_2O_5 react with 5 moles of Ca

Moles of Ca available = 4.0 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, Ca is limiting reagent. (4.0 < 5)

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

5 moles of Ca on reaction forms 2 moles of V

1 mole of Ca on reaction for 2/5 mole of V

4.0 mole of Ca on reaction for \frac{2}{5}\times 4 mole of V

Moles of V = 1.6 moles

<u>Theoretical yield of vanadium = 1.6 moles</u>

Which of the following species has the greatest
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>Mn's atomic number is 25 so you have 25 protons and 25 electrons in a neutral atom. Since no charge is shown, the number of electrons is 25
Ni's atomic number is 28 so you have 28 protons and 28 electrons in a neutral atom. This one shows a +3 so there are 3 missing electrons, the number of electrons is 28 - 3 = 25
Cu's atomic number is 29 so you have 29 protons and 29 electrons in a neutral atom. This one shows a +2 so there are 2 missing electrons, the number of electrons is 29 - 2 = 27
Ti's atomic number is 22 so you have 22 protons and 22 electrons in a neutral atom. This one shows a -2 so there are 2 EXTRA electrons, the number of electrons is 22 + 2 = 24 </span>
