What property of an atom determines its general reactivity

Chemistry
1 answer:
mario62 [17]2 years ago
3 0
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. EX: noble gases have a low reactivity because they have a full electron shell, and don't need any more outermost ones.
EX: halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell

What is the mass of 3.35 mol Hg(IO3)2? 1,700 g 1,840 g 1,960 g 2,110 g
vichka [17]

Answer:- 1840 g.

Solution:- We have been given with 3.35 moles of  and asked to calculate it's mass.

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by the molar mass of the compound. Molar mass of the compound is the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms present in it.

molar mass of  = atomic mass of Hg + 2(atomic mass of I) + 6(atomic mass of O)

= 200.59+2(126.90)+6(16.00)

= 200.59+253.80+96.00

= 550.39 gram per mol

Let's multiply the given moles by the molar mass:

3.35mol(\frac{550.39g}{1mol})

= 1843.8 g

Since, there are three sig figs in the given moles of compound, we need to round the calculated my to three sig figs also. So, on rounding off to three sig figs the mass becomes 1840 g.

Consider the reaction 2Al + 6HBr → 2AlBr3 + 3H2. If 8 moles of Al react with 8 moles of HBr, what is the limiting reactant?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

2Al+6HBr\rightarrow 2AlBr_3+3H_2

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.

The calculations could be shown as:

8molAl(\frac{6molHBr}{2molAl})

= 24 mol HBr

From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.

State the difference between sugar in water and pebbles in water
Usimov [2.4K]
Sugar is made of molecules that are bonded together based on the positively and negatively charged areas.  They will slowly dissolve in water.  Pebbles are solids.  They will sit in water for a long time.  Though shale pebbles will break apart or fall apart.

How many atoms are there in 3 moles of Fe?
Harrizon [31]
The atomic mass of an element on the periodic table is the weight of 1 mole of atoms. For example, the atomic mass of Fe is 55.8 on the periodic table. If you weigh out 55.8 grams of Fe you will have 1 mole of iron, or 6.02 x 1023 atoms.

What is an isotope? Explain why isotopes having different number of neutrons are still considered to be the same element on the
Mazyrski [523]

Isotopes of any given factor all incorporate the equal variety of protons, so they have the identical atomic wide variety (for example, the atomic wide variety of helium is usually 2). Isotopes of a given factor include exceptional numbers of neutrons, therefore, special isotopes have special mass numbers.
