Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer is (D) - It is exothermic and will have a negative enthalpy.


If the reactants are at a higher potential energy compared to the products, it means reactants have more energy than the products. That energy is released to the environment as heat. Due to the releasing of heat to the surrounding, the reaction is exothermic. Since the reaction is exothermic; the enthalpy of the reaction will be negative value.

Which of the following is a molecular formula for a compound with an empirical formula of CH2O and a molar mass of 150. g/mol.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

Let's consider a compound with the empirical formula CH₂O. In order to determine the molecular formula, we have to calculate "n", so that

n = molar mass of the molecular formula / molar mass of the empirical formula

The molar mass of the molecular formula is 150 g/mol.

The molar mass of the empirical formula is 12 + 2 × 1 + 16 = 30 g/mol

n = (150 g/mol) / (30 g/mol) = 5

Then, we multiply the empirical formula by 5.

CH₂O × 5 = C₅H₁₀O₅

Write the empirical formulas of the following compounds: (a) Al2Br6, (b) Na2S2O4, (c) N2O5, (d) K2Cr2O7, (e)H2C2O4.
babunello [35]

Answer:1. AlBr_3

2. NaSO_2

3.N_2O_5

4. K_2Cr_2O_7

5. HCO_2

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

1. Al_2Br_6 has empirical formula of AlBr_3

2. Na_2S_2O_4 has empirical formula of NaSO_2

3.N_2O_5 has empirical formula of N_2O_5  

4. K_2Cr_2O_7 has empirical formula of K_2Cr_2O_7

5. H_2C_2O_4 has empirical formula of HCO_2

Calculate the molarity when 135 g of KCl is dissolved to make a 2.50 L solution. Round to two significant digits.
inysia [295]
<h2>0.72 mol/L</h2>

Explanation:

       \textrm{Molarity of a solution}=\frac{\textrm{Number of moles of solvent}}{\textrm{Volume of solution in Liters}}

       We are given a 2.50L solution which contains 135g of KCl.

       To calculate number of moles of KCl present, we need to find it's molar mass from charts. Molar Mass of KCl is known to be 74.55\frac{g}{Mol}.

       Number of moles of KCl present = \frac{\textrm{Given weight}}{\textrm{Molar Mass}}\textrm{ = }\frac{135g}{74.55\frac{g}{Mol}}\textrm{ = }1.81087mol

       Molarity = \frac{1.81087mol}{2.50L}=0.7243\frac{mol}{L}

∴ Molarity of given KCl solution = 0.72\frac{mol}{L}
