What makes the outer shell electrons important is that they

1 answer:

3 0

A, because the number of valence shell electrons (outer shell electrons) tells us how much the element or compound wants to bond or give up electrons. Most compounds and elements want to have eight valence ectrons in it's outer ring. So if an atom is far away from having eight, it will want to react more often.

Explain, in your own words, why different elements produce different colors of light when heated.

fgiga [73]

Different elements produce different colors of light when heated because the electrons in these elements have different permissible energy levels. When an element is heated, the electrons inside it become excited and move to an higher energy level from the ground state. When the electrons drop from this higher energy level, they typically emit energy quantum, the color of the light that is observed at this stage depends on difference that exist in the two energy levels.<span />

ololo11 [35]

So its temperature will not rise, since kinetic energy of molecules remains the same. The quantity of heat absorbed or released when a substance changes its physical phase at constant temperature (e g. From solid to liquid at melting point or from liquid to gas at boiling point) is termed as its latent heat.

What is the mass of water necessary to generate 11.2 L of hydrogen gas if calcium metal reacts with water at standard temperatur

12345 [234]

Answer:

The mass of water is 18 g

Explanation:

The reaction of calcium with water can be represented in the equation below:

Ca + 2H₂O --------->Ca(OH)₂ +H₂

1 Mole of gas at STP = 22.4L

From the displacement reaction above, calculate the mass of water that will produce 22.4L of hydrogen gas at STP.

Mass of 2H₂O = 2(2x1 + 16) = 2X18 = 36 g/mol

Using proportional analysis;

36 g of 2H₂O produced 22.4 L of H₂, then

what mass of 2H₂O will produce 11.2L of H₂ ?

Mathematically,

22.4 L ----------------------------------> 36g

11.2 L -----------------------------------> ?

Cross and multiply, to obtain the expression below

= (11.2 X 36)/22.4

= 18 g

Therefore, the mass of water is 18 g
