Why might two elements posses similar chemical properties?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
3 0

Same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

Two elements posses similar chemical properties if they have the same number of valence electrons.

Chemical properties of any substance is determined by the number of valence electrons it possesses in its outer most shell.

Elements use their valence electrons to form chemical bonds with one another.

Elements with the same number of valence electrons will chemically combine the same way.

This is why elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same chemical properties.

The 85.2-g sample of the compound x4o10 contains 48.0 g of oxygen atoms. what is the molar mass of element x?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
X4O10
Let molar mass of X be y
molar mass =  4y + 10 x 16 = 4y+160

so, moles = 85.2 / (4y+160)

Moles of oxygen = 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
Mass of oxygen  = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
which is 48.0

so, 48 = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]

Solve the equation to get y.

y = 31

Identify the number and kinds of atoms present in a molecule of each compound. caffeine c8h10n4o2 iron iii sulfate fe2(so4)3
finlep [7]
This problem is very easy to answer. You simply have to look at the subscripts of each element of the compound.

1. For caffeine, which has a molecular formula of C₈H₁₀N₄O₂, it contains 8 atoms of Carbon, 10 atoms of Hydrogen, 4 atoms of Nitrogen and 2 atoms of Oxygen.

2. For Iron(III) Sulfate, which has a molecular formula of Fe₂(SO₄)₃, it contains 2 atoms of Iron, 3 atoms of Sulfur, and 12 atoms of Oxygen.

Dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O is sometimes used as a powerful chlorinating agent in research. It can be produced by passing chlorine
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

% yield =  82.5%

Explanation:

HgO + 2Cl₂ →  HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

Our reactants are:

  • HgO and Cl₂

Our products are:

  • HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

We do not have information about moles of reactants, but we do know the theoretical yield and the grams of product, in this case Cl₂O, we have produced.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

Theoretical yield is the mass of product which is produced by sufficent reactant. We replace data:

% yield = (0.71 g/0.86g) . 100 = 82.5%
