Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which process takes place when large rocks crumble due to oxidation?

A) Erosion

B) Deposition

C) physical weathering

D) chemical weathering​

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Weathering can simply be defined as the breakdown of the top surface of rocks. <u>From this definition, it can be deduced that the question describes a type of weathering</u>. Weathering can be of two types; Physical weathering and chemical weathering.

Physical weathering is caused by physical components of the environment such as temperature, water and some activities of living organisms. Physical weathering does not alter the chemical composition of the rock. A <u>chemical weathering</u> is caused by a reaction between the components of the rock and another substance. This type of weathering <u>involves a chemical reaction (for example oxidation)</u> which leads to the breakdown of the rock.

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
Natasha2012 [34]

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. <u>This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.</u>

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

<u>No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance</u>

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

<u>Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.</u>

Predict the electronegativity of the yet undiscovered element with Z = 119.
Lera25 [3.4K]
We know that the element Z = 119 would be placed right below the Fr, in the column of the alcaline metals.

We also know that the trend in the electronegativity is to decrease when you go up-down ia group.

The known electronegativities of the elements of this group are:

Li: 0.98
Na: 0.93
K: 0.82
Rb: 0.82
Cs: 0.79
Fr: 0.70

Then the hypotetical element Z = 119 would probably have an electronegativity slightly below 0.70, for sure in the range 0.60 - 0.70.

1. Using the Slater rule, determine the effective nuclear charge of platinum.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Z* = 3.55

Explanation:

Slater rule says that:

Z*= Z - S

Z* be the nuclear effective charge

Z is the nuclear charge

S is the shielding constant

First we write the electronic configuration of platinum:1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 3d^{10} 4s^{2} 4p^{6} 4d^{10} 5s^{2} 5p^{6} 4f^{14} 5d^{9} 6s^{1}

The first Slater rule says that we need to group:

(1s^{2}) (2s, 2p)^{8} (3s, 3p)^{8} (3d^{10}) (4s, 4p)^{8} (4d^{10}) (5s, 5p)^{8} (4f^{14}) (5d^{9}) (6s^{1})

The second rule says that the electrons to the right are not shielding, but we are going to solve the exercise for the last level (6s), so we don't have electrons to the right.

For the third rule we have two considerations, if is ns or np and if is nd or nf:

For our case, we have an electro that is in ns, so the rule says that

-electrons within same group shield 0.35, except the 1s which shield 0.30

-electrons within the n-1 group shield 0.85

-electrons within the n-2 or lower groups shield 1.00

Now we can proceed with the calculation:

The first consideration in the third rule does not apply as we only have one electron on this level.

The second consideration will be as follow for the level 5, where we have 17 electrons.

Finally the third consideration will be for levels 1, 2, 3 and 4, where we have 14 for 4f, 10 for 4d, 8 for 4s and 4p, 10 for 3d, 8 for 3s and 3p, 8 for 2s and 2p and finally 2 for 1s, which gives 60 electrons.

So the result for S=(60*1.00 + 17*0.85) = 74.45

And the equation is: Z* = 78 - 74.45

So Z* = 3.55
