An element x atomic number 16 reacts with an element Y atomic number 20 to form a compound

Chemistry
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Element x has an atomic number of 16, it is sulphur.

Element Y has an atomic number of 20, it is calcium.

i) Sulphur is in Group VI, period 3 in the modern periodic table,

whereas calcium is in Group II, period 4 of the modern periodic table.

ii) Ionic bonds will form between them. This is because metals and non-metals (Cacium and sulphur) usually form ionic compounds where between the ions are held by ionic bonds (which are transferred electrons so that both elements can attain a stable status).

iii) CaS

each Calcium atom can lose 2 electrons to attain 8 outermost shell electrons, while each sulphur atom can gain the 2 electrons to attain 8 outermost shell electrons, where they will most be stable (octet). Hence, the atomic ratio of Ca and S is 1:1.

What will happen to the efficiency of a bike after the gears have been cleaned and the chain has been oiled ?
seropon [69]

Well, figures for efficiency vary a lot, but according to Bicycling Science it’s lubrication that matters most – lubing a dry chain can add 5% to the efficiency.

More interestingly (and I hadn’t read this bit in the book before) it varys a lot depending on gear ratio – bottom gear (22-28) is 99% efficient, top gear (42-11) is 88%. That’s a big difference

The radioactive isotope 210/84 Po decays by alpha emission.
yan [13]

The half-life of polonium-210, given that it decays from 98.3 micrograms to 12.3 micrograms in 414 days is 138 days

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 98.3 micrograms
  • Amount remaining (N) = 12.3 micrograms
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 98.3 / 12.3

2ⁿ = 8

2ⁿ = 2³

n = 3

<h3>How to determine the half life </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Time (t) = 414 days
  • Half-life (t½) = ?

t½ = t / n

t½ = 414 / 3

t½ = 138 days

Given a Ksp for AgBr of 5.0 * 10–13, what happens when 50 ml of 0.002 M AgNO3 and 50 mL of 0.002 M NaBr are mixed?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A precipitate will be produced

Explanation:

The Ksp of AgBr is:

AgBr(s) → Ag⁺ + Br⁻

5.0x10⁻¹³ = [Ag⁺] Br⁻]

<em>Where [] are the concentrations in equilibrium of each ion.</em>

<em />

And if Q is:

Q = [Ag⁺] Br⁻]

<em>Where the concentrations are actual concentrations of each ion</em>

<em />

We can say:

IF Q >= Ksp, a precipitate will be produced

IF Q < Ksp, no precipitate will be produced.

the molar concentrations are:

[AgNO₃] = [Ag⁺] = 0.002M * (50mL / 100mL) = 0.001M

<em>Because 50mL is the volume of the AgNO₃ solution and 100mL the volume of the mixture of both solutions.</em>

[NaBr] = [Br⁻] = 0.002M * (50mL / 100mL) = 0.001M

Q = [0.001M] * [0.001M]

Q = 1x10⁻⁶

As Q > Ksp,
