The atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. However, Mendeleev listed iodine after tellurium in his

original periodic table because he suspected the atomic weights for these elements were inaccurate. What was Mendeleev's reason for this suspicion?

QveST [7]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation :

As we know that Mendeleev arranged the elements in horizontal rows and vertical columns of a table in order of their increasing relative atomic weights.

He placed the elements with similar nature in the same group.

According to the question, the atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. So according to this, iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's tables. But Mendeleev placed iodine after tellurium in his original periodic table.

However, iodine has similar chemical properties to chlorine and bromine. So, in order to make iodine queue up with chlorine and bromine in his periodic table, Mendeleev exchanged the positions of iodine and tellurium.

As we know that the positions of iodine and tellurium were reversed in Mendeleev's table because iodine has one naturally occurring isotope that is iodine-127  and tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128 and tellurium-130.

Due to high relative abundance of tellurium isotopes gives tellurium the greater relative atomic mass.

In a 1.143E+2 g sample of iron(III) oxide, how many grams of iron are present? Your answer should have the appropriate number of
Fiesta28 [93]

Mass of iron(III)oxide, Fe2O3 sample = 1.143*10^2 g

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mole

i.e. 1 mole of Fe2O3 weighs 159.69 g

Based on stoichiometry:

1 mole of Fe2O3 has 2 moles of Fe

Atomic mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mole

Therefore we can write:

159.69 g of Fe2O3 is composed of 2*55.85 g of Fe

Thus, amount of Fe present in 1.143*10^2 g sample of Fe2O3 is

= 1.143*10^2 * 2* 55.85/159.69

= 7.995*10^-1 g

It is relatively easy to change the temperature of a substance that:_______
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

b. has a low specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the specific heat is defined as the heat required to increase or decrease 1 degree Celsius 1 gram or mole of a specific substance, we infer that the lower the specific heat, the less energy will be needed for such increase or decrease, therefore, it turns out easier to modify the temperature in a substance that b. has a low specific heat capacity.

Best regards.
