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.

A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.
Juliette [100K]
If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

Find the volume of 0.100M hydrochloric acid necessary to react completely with 1.51g Al(OH)3.
shtirl [24]
Reaction equation:
Al(OH)₃ + 3HCl → AlCl₃ + 3H₂O
Moles of Al(OH)₃:
moles = mass/Mr
= 1.51 / (27 + 17 x 3)
= 0.019
Molar ratio Al(OH)₃ : HCl = 1 : 3
Moles of HCl required = 0.019 x 3
=0.057
concentration = moles/volume
volume = 0.057 / 0.1
= 0.57 dm³
= 570 ml

If you have 100 ml of a 0.10 m tris buffer (pka 8.3) at ph 8.3 and you add 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl, what will be the new ph?
sukhopar [10]

The new pH is 7.69.

According to Hendersen Hasselbach equation;

The Henderson Hasselbalch equation is an approximate equation that shows the relationship between the pH or pOH of a solution and the pKa or pKb and the ratio of the concentrations of the dissociated chemical species. To calculate the pH of the buffer solution made by mixing salt and weak acid/base. It is used to calculate the pKa value. Prepare buffer solution of needed pH.

                       pH = pKa + log10 ([A–]/[HA])

Here, 100 mL  of  0.10 m TRIS buffer pH 8.3

                 pka = 8.3

         0.005 mol of TRIS.

∴  8.3 = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005]}{[0.005]}

<em>    </em>inverse log 0 = \frac{[B]}{[A]}

   \frac{[B]}{[A]} = 1

Given; 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl.

           pka = 8.3

           0.003 mol of HCL.

pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005-0.003]}{[0.005+0.003]}\\pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.002]}{[0.008]}\\\\pH = 8.3 + log {0.25}\\\\pH = 8.3 + (-0.62)\\pH = 7.69

Therefore, the new pH is 7.69.

Put the following in the correct chronological order from what happened first to what happened last.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

2-3-1-4

Explanation:

The astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did not have a theory about the Earth revolving around the sun until he got into astronomy and began to study the patterns of the sun and the moon as well as reading other entries from previous astronomers. You can pretty much guess from there, he had to have the theory before proving it etc.
