Which is easier to remove: a valence electron from, Li or Na? Explain why.

Chemistry

scZoUnD [109]3 years ago

The atomic number of Li is 3

Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹

The atomic number of Na is 11

Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.

A quantity of 0.225 g of a metal M (molar mass = 27.0 g/mol) liberated 0.303 L of molecular hydrogen (measured at 17°C and 741 m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Oxide of M is M_2O_3 and sulfate of M_2(SO_4)_3

Explanation:

0.303 L of molecular hydrogen gas measured at 17°C and 741 mmHg.

Let moles of hydrogen gas be n.

Temperature of the gas ,T= 17°C =290 K

Pressure of the gas ,P= 741 mmHg= 0.9633 atm

Volume occupied by gas , V = 0.303 L

Using an ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9633 atm\times 0.303 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 290 K}=0.01225 mol

Moles of hydrogen gas produced = 0.01225 mol

2M+2xHCl\rightarrow 2MCl_x+xH_2

Moles of metal =\frac{0.225 g}{27.0 g/mol}=8.3333 mol

So, 8.3333 mol of metal M gives 0.01225 mol of hydrogen gas.

\frac{8.3333}{0.01225 mol}=\frac{2}{x}

x = 2.9 ≈ 3

2M+6HCl\rightarrow 2MCl_3+3H_2

MCl_3\rightarrow M^{3+}+Cl^-

Formulas for the oxide and sulfate of M will be:

Oxide of M is M_2O_3 and sulfate of M_2(SO_4)_3.
