Answer:
Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. These are the electrons in their outer energy level that can be involved in chemical reactions. ... All the elements in group 1 have just one valence electron. This makes them very reactive.

Answer:
Solution is 4.67% by mass of salt
Explanation:
% by mass is the concentration that defines the mass of solute in 100g of solution.
In this case we have to find out the mass of solution with the data given:
Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
Solute: Salt → 14.2 g
Solvent: Water → 290 g
Solution's mass = 14.2 g + 290g = 304.2 g
% by mass = (mass of solute / mass of solution) . 100
(14.2 g / 304.2g) . 100 = 4.67 %
Answer:
Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,
KBr
, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.
So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.
Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,
K
+
, and bromide anions,
Br
−
. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.
Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find
For K:

For Br:

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

Answer:
Explanation:
- For the balanced reaction:
<em>4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s).</em>
It is clear that 4 mol of Fe react with 3 mol of O₂ to produce 2 mol of Fe₂O₃.
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 35.8 grams of Fe metal:
no. of moles of Fe = mass/molar mass = (35.8 g)/(55.845 g/mol) = 0.64 mol.
- Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to react with the proposed amount of Fe:
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
4 mol of Fe is needed to react with → 3 mol of O₂, from stichiometry.
0.64 mol of Fe is needed to react with → ??? mol of O₂.
∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (3 mol)(0.64 mol)/(4 mol) = 0.48 mol.
- Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the information:
<em>It is known that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at standard P and T (STP).</em>
<em></em>
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
1 mol of O₂ occupies → 22.4 L, at STP conditions.
0.48 mol of O₂ occupies → ??? L.
∴ The no. of liters of O₂ = (0.48 mol)(22.4 L)/(1 mol) = 10.752 L.
Answer:
A - The can was open and gases were released.
