If an atom has 1 to 3 valence electrons, what will it do?

Chemistry

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{donate electrons}}$

Explanation:

An atom with one to three valence electrons would have to gain seven to five valence electrons, respectively to get a stable octet.

It is easier for it to donate electrons and expose the stable octet of electrons in the shell below..

(A) is wrong. You can't move electrons to a lower shell, because it's already full.

(B) is wrong. The atom will donate electrons.

How do you determine the group and period of an element based on its electron configuration?

il63 [147K]

Answer:

If you are given with the atomic number of an element you can find it's period number and group number. The period number is related to the number of electron occupied shells in the element and the period number is linked to its valence electrons.

How many moles of NH4NO3(s) must be dissolved in water so that 73.0 kJ of heat is absorbed from the water? (The molar heat of so

SCORPION-xisa [38]

1 mole of NH4NO3 requires absorption of 25.7 kJ/mol.
Therefore; 1 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by dissolving 1/25.7 moles of NH4NO3.
Hence; For an energy of 73.0 kJ to be absorbed the moles of NH4NO3 that dissolves will be;
= (1/25.7 × 73)
= 2.84 moles
Hence; 73 kJ is absorbed by dissolving 2.84 moles of NH4NO3.

A 1.30M solution of BaCl2 has a density of 1.230 g/ml. a) What is the mole fraction of BaCl2 in this solution?

Elodia [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The mole fraction of barium chloride in the solution is 0.024

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Molarity of barium chloride solution = 1.30 M

This means that 1.30 moles of barium chloride is present in 1 L or 1000 mL of solution.

To calculate the mass of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of solution = 1.230 g/mL

Volume of solution = 1000 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.230g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of solution}=(1.230g/mL\times 1000mL)=1230g$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Moles of barium chloride = 1.30 moles

Molar mass of barium chloride = 208 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.30mol=\frac{\text{Mass of barium chloride}}{208g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of barium chloride}=(1.30mol\times 208g/mol)=270.4g$

Mass of water = Mass of solution - Mass of barium chloride

Mass of water = 1230 - 270.4 = 959.6 g

<u>Calculating the moles of water:</u>

Given mass of water = 959.6 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{959.6g}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Moles of water}=53.31mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

<u>For barium chloride:</u>

$\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=\frac{n_{\text{(barium chloride)}}}{n_{\text{(water)}}+n_{\text{(barium chloride)}}}$

$\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=\frac{1.30}{1.30+53.31}\\\\\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=0.024$

Hence, the mole fraction of barium chloride in the solution is 0.024
