For the noble gases (the Group 8A elements) 4He2, 20Ne10, 40Ar18, 84Kr36 and 132Xe54, (a) determine the number of protons and ne

utrons in the nucleus of each atom, and (b) determine the ratio of neutrons to protons in the nucleus of each atom. Describe any general trend you discover in the way this ratio changes with increasing atomic number.

Answer:

a) ⁴He₂

Protons = 2

neutrons = 2

ratio = 1:1

b) ²⁰Ne₁₀

Protons = 10

neutrons = 10

ratio = 1:1

c) ⁴⁰Ar₁₈

Protons = 18

neutrons = 22

ratio = 1.2 : 1

d) ⁸⁴Kr₃₆

Protons = 36

neutrons = 48

ratio = 1.33:1

e) ¹³²Xe₅₄

Protons = 54

neutrons = 78

ratio = 1.44 : 1

With the increase in atomic number the ratio increases.

Explanation:

Atomic number = number of protons

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

So number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons

The element is represented as

^{A}X_{Z}

Where

A = atomic mass

Z = atomic number

a) ⁴He₂

Protons = 2

neutrons = 2

ratio = 1:1

b) ²⁰Ne₁₀

Protons = 10

neutrons = 10

ratio = 1:1

c) ⁴⁰Ar₁₈

Protons = 18

neutrons = 22

ratio = 1.2 : 1

d) ⁸⁴Kr₃₆

Protons = 36

neutrons = 48

ratio = 1.33:1

e) ¹³²Xe₅₄

Protons = 54

neutrons = 78

ratio = 1.44 : 1

He following balanced equation shows the formation of water. 2H2 + O2 mc020-1.jpg 2H2O How many moles of oxygen (O2) are require
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer : The correct option is, 13.7 mole

Solution : Given,

Moles of H_2 = 27.4 moles

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of H_2 react with 1 moles of O_2

So, 27.4 moles of H_2 react with \frac{27.4}{2}=13.7 moles of O_2

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen O_2 required are, 13.7 moles

Gaseous ICl (0.20 mol) was added to a 2.0 L flask and allowed to decompose at a high temperature:
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The Kc is 1.36 (but this is not an option, may be the options are wrong, or may be I was .. Thanks!)

Explanation:

Let's think all the situation.

               2 ICl(g)   ⇄   I₂(g)    +    Cl₂(g)

Initially      0.20              -               -

Initially I have only 0.20 moles of reactant, and nothing of products. In the reaction, an x amount of compound has reacted.

React          x              x/2               x/2

Because the ratio is 2:1, in the reaction I have the half of moles.

So in equilibrium I will have

           (0.20 - x)          x/2             x/2

Notice that I have the concentration in equilibrium so:

0.20 - x = 0.060

x = 0.14

So in equilibrium I have formed 0.14/2 moles of I₂ and H₂ (0.07 moles)

Finally, we have to make, the expression for Kc and remember that must to be with concentration in M (mol/L).

As we have a volume of 2L, the values must be /2

Kc = ([I₂]/2 . [H₂]/2) / ([ICl]/2)²

Kc = (0.07/2 . 0.07/2) / (0.060/2)²

Kc = 1.225x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁴

Kc = 1.36
