A chemical engineer is developing a process for producing a new chemical. One step in the process involves allowing a solution o

f potassium hydroxide to react with a solid. Which action would most likely increase the reaction rate for this step? using larger pieces of the solid using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide solution adding water to the system

Answer:

using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide

Explanation:

<em>The option that would likely increase the rate of reaction would be to use a more concentrated potassium hydroxide.</em>

<u>The concentration of reactants is one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction. The more the concentration of the reactants, the faster the rate of reaction. </u>

Granted that there are enough of the other reactants, increasing the concentration of one of the reactants will lead to an increased rate of reaction.

Hence, using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide which happens to be one of the reactants would likely increase the rate of reaction.

How many molecules are in 3 moles of NaCl?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Given : No. Of moles = 1.5

To calculate : no. Of molecules =N

We know that moles = N / 6.022 x 10²³

Therefore, 1.5 x 6.022 x 10²³ = N

Hence N = 9.0330x 10²³ molecules

Rank the following elements by effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for a valence electron. F LI Be B N
Stels [109]

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

  • Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>

  • While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

  • Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>

  • F's atomic number: Z = 9
  • Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
  • Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons:  7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
  • Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>

  • Li's atomic number: Z = 3
  • Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>

  • Be's atomic number: Z = 4
  • Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>

  • B's atomic number: Z = 5
  • Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>

  • N's atomic number: Z = 7
  • Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>

  Atom          Zeff for a valence electron

  • F                   7
  • Li                   1
  • Be                 2
  • B                   3
  • N                   5

  • <u>Conclusion</u>: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F
