Answer:

The characteristic of silicon that is most closely related to its chemical reactivity is that;

It is found in nature in mainly as oxides and silicates

Explanation:

Silicon, which is a member of group 14 of the periodic table has the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p² and has a high affinity for oxygen such that the the oxides are known as silicates and it is almost impossible to find pure silicon in nature and it is found in the universe as silica and silicates

Silicate minerals make up over 90% of the Earth's crust such that, by mass silicon is only surpassed by oxygen as the most abundant element found in the Earth's crust.

What volume (mL) of 0.135 M NaOH is required to neutralize 13.7 mL of 0.129 M HCl? a: 0.24 b: 13.1 c: 0.076 d: 6.55 e: 14.3
Len [333]

Answer:

The volume (mL) of 0.135 M NaOH that is required to neutralize 13.7 mL of 0.129 M HCl is 13.1 mL (option b).

Explanation:

The reaction between an acid and a base is called neutralization, forming a salt and water.

Salt is an ionic compound made up of an anion (positively charged ion) from the base and a cation (negatively charged ion) from the acid.

When an acid is neutralized, the amount of base added must equal the amount of acid initially present. This base quantity is said to be the equivalent quantity. In other words, at the equivalence point the stoichiometry of the reaction is exactly fulfilled (there are no limiting or excess reagents), therefore the numbers of moles of both will be in stoichiometric relationship. So:

V acid *M acid = V base *M base

where V represents the volume of solution and M the molar concentration of said solution.

In this case:

  • V acid= 13.7 mL= 0.0137 L (being 1,000 mL= 1 L)
  • M acid= 0.129 M
  • V base= ?
  • M base= 0.135 M

Replacing:

0.0137 L* 0.129 M= V base* 0.135 M

Solving:

V base=\frac{0.0137 L*0.129 M}{0.135 M}

V base=0.0131 L = 13.1 mL

Suppose we have a compound that is 4.330 % Li, 22.10 % Cl, 39.89 % O, and 33.69 % H2O. What is the compounds formula?
amid [387]

The  formula   of compound is   LiClO4.3H2O


      <em><u>calculation</u></em>

  • <em><u>  </u></em>find the mole  of  each element

        that is  moles for Li,Cl,O and that of H2O

  • moles = % composition/ molar mass

       For Li = 4.330/ 6.94 g/mol=  0.624 moles

             Cl=22.10/35.5=0.623  moles

           39.89/16 g/mol =2.493  moles

           H20=  33.69/18 g/mol=  1.872  moles

  • find  the mole ratio  by  dividing each moles by smallest number of mole ( 0.624 moles)

        that  is  for  Li= 0.624/0.623=  1

                             Cl= 0.623/0.623=1

                             O = 2.493/0.623 =4

                          H2O= 1.872/0.623=3

<h3>Therefore the formula=LiClO4.3H2O</h3><h3 />

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction using the balanced chemical equation and the concentrations of the substance
Oliga [24]

Answer:

4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Explanation:

CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)

Equilibrium concentration of reactants :

[CO]=0.0590 M,[H_2O]=0.00600 M

Equilibrium concentration of products:

[CO_2]=0.0410 M,[H_2]=0.0410 M

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

K_c=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}

K_c=\frac{0.0410 M\times 0.0410 M}{0.0590M\times 0.00600 M}

K_c=4.75

4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
