Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

Complete combustion of a 0.600-g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 24.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a
coldgirl [10]

The final temperature, t₂ = 30.9 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

24.0 kJ of heat = 24,000 J

Mass of calorimeter = 1.3 kg = 1300 g

Cs = 3.41 J/g°C

t₁= 25.5 °C

Required

The final temperature, t₂

Solution

Q = m.Cs.Δt

Q out (combustion of compound) = Q in (calorimeter)

24,000 = 1300 x 3.41 x (t₂-25.5)

t₂ = 30.9 °C

Solar, wind, and water power are renewable resources and can replace our dependence on fossil fuels. They each have their own dr
Vesna [10]
Solar- the sun is not always shining, for example at night you can't get any energy from the sun
Wind-it's not always windy
Water- there can be drought
Really the main issue of all three of these is that they are not always available

How many cubic miles are 8.48E+08 gallons of water? The density of water at ambient conditions is 1.000 g/mL.
Inessa05 [86]

The volume of the water in cubic meter is determined as 3.2 x 10⁶ m³ .

<h3>Weight of one gallon of water</h3>

The weight of 1 gal of water is given as 3785 g

Mass of 8.48 x 10⁸ gal = 3785 x 8.48 x 10⁸ = 3.2 x 10¹² g

<h3>Volume of the water in cubic meters</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Volume = 3.2 x 10¹² g/1 gmL

Volume = 3.2 x 10¹² mL x 10⁻⁶ m³/mL = 3.2 x 10⁶ m³

Thus, the volume of the water in cubic meter is determined as 3.2 x 10⁶ m³ .

Which of the following atoms could have an expanded octet when it is the central atom in a covalent compound?a) B
miv72 [106K]

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.
