Answer:

Fluorine

Explanation:

Remembering the equation for Coulombic attraction, we know that an electrostatic attraction between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of a distance between them. This is modeled by the equation:

F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

The attraction force we are analyzing in this problem occurs between a nucleus of a halogen and its valence electrons. Essentially, according to the equation, the greater the distance between a nucleus and valence electrons, the lower the attraction force. This implies that a valence electron would be lost more easily from an atom which has the highest radius.

Going down the group, the number of electron shells increases and the radius of halogens increases. This means that fluorine has the smallest radius and attracts its valence electrons strongest.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D)  fluorine​</em>

Explanation:

Fluorine has 9 electrons. Florine atom will have only two orbits in which the electrons will revolve around the nucleus. First orbit will have two electrons. The second orbit will have seven electrons. These orbits will be pulled by a greater force by the nucleus of an atom. Hence, they will be less likely to lose an electron.

Other atoms of the group 17 have more orbits hence, the space between the nucleus and the outermost orbit is greater than that of fluorine atoms. Hence, they will have more chances of losing an electron as compared to fluorine.

Answer:

<u>only sodium chloride compounds</u> MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas.

Correct answer - C

Explanation:

A solid sodium metal reacts with gaseous form of chlorine gas to form  a solid sodium chloride.

This formation of sodium chloride arises due to transfer of one valence electron from sodium to chlorine atom and the both atoms get stable octet electronic configuration.

As a result, an ionic compound solid sodium chloride is formed.

The chemical reaction of formation sodium chloride is as follows.

2Na(s)+Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NaCl(s)

Therefore, <u>only sodium chloride compounds</u> MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas.

What determines an object’s ability to float?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.60 mol H2/mol C2H2. The reaction proceeds to comple
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

C₂H₂     +   2H₂   =     C₂H₆

1 mole     2 mole        1 mole

Feed of reactant is 1.6 mole H₂ / mole C₂H₂

or 1.6 mole of H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

required ratio as per chemical reaction written above

2 mole of  H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

So H₂ is in short supply . Hence it is limiting reagent .

1.6 mole of H₂ will react with half of 1.6 mole or .8 mole of C₂H₂ to form .8 mole of C₂H₆

a )Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio =  mole H₂ reacted/mole C₂H₂ reacted

= 1.6 / .8 = 2 .

b )

yield ratio = mole C₂H₆ formed / mole H₂ reacted ) = 0.8 / 1.6 = 1/2 = 0.5 .
