The right option is; C. Potassium

An element is any of the simplest chemical substances that cannot be decomposed in a chemical reaction. Every element is composed of its own type of atom that has the same number of protons. The periodic table contains all the recognized elements and groups that have similar properties. Other types of elements apart from potassium include hydrogen, lithium, helium, boron, oxygen, magnesium, sulfur etc.

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

How many moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced when 7.94 moles of benzene (C6H6) react with excess oxygen? Be sure to show

Sliva [168]

The balanced equation is

2 C6H6 +15 O2 = 12 CO2 + 6 H2O 

the ratio between C6H6 and CO2 is 2 : 12 

moles CO2 produced = 7.94 x 12 / 2 =47.6

Where the oxygen comes from the air (21% O2 and 79% N2). If oxygen is fed from air in excess of the stoichiometric amount requir

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$y_{O2} =4.3$ %

Explanation:

The ethanol combustion reaction is:

$C_{2}H_{5} OH+3O_{2}$ → $2CO_{2}+3H_{2}O$

If we had the amount (x moles) of ethanol, we would calculate the oxygen moles required:

$x*1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles }{etOHmole}$

Dividing the previous equation by x:

$1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}=3.30\frac{O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}$

We would need 3.30 oxygen moles per ethanol mole.

Then we apply the composition relation between O2 and N2 in the feed air:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)*\frac{0.79(N_{2} moles)}{0.21(O_{2} moles)}=121.414 (N_{2} moles )$

Then calculate the oxygen moles number leaving the reactor, considering that 0.85 ethanol moles react and the stoichiometry of the reaction:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)-0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(O_{2} moles)}{1(etOHmoles)} =0.75O_{2} moles$

Calculate the number of moles of CO2 and water considering the same:

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(H_{2}Omoles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=2.55(H_{2}Omoles)$

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{2(CO_{2}moles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=1.7(CO_{2}moles)$

The total number of moles at the reactor output would be:

$N=1.7(CO2)+12.414(N2)+2.55(H2O)+0.75(O2)\\ N=17.414(Dry-air-moles)$

So, the oxygen mole fraction would be:

$y_{O_{2}}=\frac{0.75}{17.414}=0.0430=4.3$ %
