Which element has the largest atomic radius?

1 answer:

3 0

Cesium

Explanation:

The element which has the largest atomic radius is Cesium. Atomic Radius is defined as the distance between the center of the nucleus and the outermost shell of an atom. Cesium has 6 orbital shells, which means that it automatically is big.

How many liters of hydrogen gas will be produced at STP from the reaction of 7.179×10^23 atoms of magnesium with 54.219g of phos

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be, 12.4 L

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $H_3PO_4$ = 54.219 g

Number of atoms of $Mg$ = $7.179\times 10^{23}$

Molar mass of $H_3PO_4$ = 98 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_3PO_4$ and $Mg$ .

$\text{Moles of }H_3PO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }H_3PO_4}{\text{Molar mass }H_3PO_4}$

$\text{Moles of }H_3PO_4=\frac{54.219g}{98g/mol}=0.553mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }Mg=\frac{7.179\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=1.19mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$3Mg+2H_3PO_4\rightarrow Mg(PO_4)_2+3H_2$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $Mg$ react with 2 mole of $H_3PO_4$

So, 0.553 moles of $Mg$ react with $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.553=0.369$ moles of $H_3PO_4$

From this we conclude that, $H_3PO_4$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $Mg$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $H_2$
