What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago

The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Δ H reaction = q / n where q: amount of heat released and n is number of moles of substance.
q = m . C . ΔT where:
m = mass of substance (g)
C = Specific heat capacity (4.18)
ΔT = change in temperature = 24.25 - 23.16 = 1.09
q = 1000 x 4.18 x 1.09 = 4556 J = 4.556 kJ
number of moles (n) = Molarity (M) x Volume (L)
                                 = 0.185 M x 0.07 L = 0.01295 mole
Δ H = q / n = - (4.556 kJ / 0.01295 mole) = -351.8 kJ / mol
Note: it is exothermic reaction (-ve sign)  i.e. temperature is raised

Two gas-containers, A and B, are connected with a valve. The first container, A, has a volume of 135 mL, and the second containe
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

85.5 mmHg is the pressure of the gas sample when the valve is opened.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas in container A = 165 mmHg

P_2 = final pressure of gas = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas in container A= 135 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas = 135 mL + 117 mL = 252 mL

T_1 = initial temperature of gas in container A = 22.5^oC=273+22.5=295.5 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 12.7^oC=273+12.7=285.7K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

P_2=\frac{P_1V_1\times T_2}{T_1\times V_2}

=\frac{165 mmHg\times 135 mL\times 285.7 K}{295.5 K\times 252 mL}

P_2=85.5 mmHg

85.5 mmHg is the pressure of the gas sample when the valve is opened.
