Answer:

only chlorine can expand its octet.

Explanation:

An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital

the electronic configuration of given elements will be:

B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]

Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell

Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.

Based on the equation, how many grams of Br2 are required to react completely with 36.2 grams of AlCl3?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

65.08 g.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction, the balanced equation is:

<em>2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂,</em>

2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with 3.0 mole of Br₂ to produce 2.0 mole of AlBr₃ and 3.0 mole of Cl₂.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 36.2 grams of AlCl₃:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em> = (36.2 g)/(133.34 g/mol) = <em>0.2715 mol.</em>

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with → 3.0 mole of Br₂, from the stichiometry.

0.2715 mol of AlCl₃ reacts with → ??? mole of Br₂.

∴ The no. of moles of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃  = (0.2715 mol)(3.0 mole)/(2.0 mole) = 0.4072 mol.

<em>∴ The mass of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = no. of moles of Br₂ x molar mass</em> = (0.4072 mol)(159.808 g/mol ) = <em>65.08 g.</em>

How many grams of O are in 605 g of Na,O?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

2Na2O2+2H2O⟶O2+4NaOH

2×78g                           32g

156g of Na2O2 produces 32g of O2,

12g of Na2O2 produces =15632×12=10.66g.

Density of O2 at NTP=1.428g/mL.

DensityMass=Vol.

1.42810.66=7.46mL

Vol. of O2 at NTP is 7.46mL.
