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.

When an atom makes a transition from a higher energy level to a lower one, a photon is released. What is the wavelength of the p
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Wavelength of the photon depends on transition from different states.

Explanation:

The wavelength of the photon that is emitted from the atom during the transition depends on the transition from different states. If the photon is emitted from n=4 state to n=3 state, the wavelength of photon is 1875 while on the other hand, if the photon is emitted from n=5 state to n=3 state, the wavelength of photon is 1282. If the photon is emitted from n=3 state to n=2 state, the wavelength of photon is 656.

One of the hydrates of MnSO4 is manganese(II) sulfate tetrahydrate . A 71.6 gram sample of MnSO4 4 H2O was heated thoroughly in
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

48.32 g of anhydrous MnSO4.

Explanation:

Equation of dehydration reaction:

MnSO4 •4H2O --> MnSO4 + 4H2O

Molar mass = 55 + 32 + (4*16) + 4((1*2) + 16)

= 223 g/mol

Mass of MnSO4 • 4H2O = 71.6 g

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 71.6/223

= 0.32 mol.

By stoichiometry, since 1 mole of MnSO4 •4H2O is dehydrated to give 1 mole of anhydrous MnSO4

Number of moles of MnSO4 = 0.32 mol.

Molar mass = 55 + 32 + (4*16)

= 151 g/mol.

Mass = 151 * 0.32

= 48.32 g of anhydrous MnSO4.

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. It is often called the
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances

State ten important of osmosis?​
algol [13]

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules, across a semipermeable membrane, from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution

Osmosis is critical in the maintenance of the right amount of water in the cells an organism. Water is a universal solvent and is especially important for biochemical activities of a cell. Osmosis maintains the right water homeostasis in cells.

Osmosis is useful in the absorption of water by the roots of the plants and the maintenance of transpirational pull that ensures herbecious plants remain upright.

Osmosis enables the opening and closing of plant stomata hence regulating the loss of water by the plants.
