1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm
Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT
R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol
V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter
T = 298 K
p = 1 atm
=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol
2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type
X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O or
2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO or
4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)
So, lets probe those 3 cases.
3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol
=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X
Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:
1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol
That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+
So, now probe the case 2.
4) Case 2:
2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol
=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol
And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol
That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.
4) Case 3
4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635
atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol
That does not correspond to any metal.
Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.
Answer:
d. its effective nuclear charge is lower than the other noble gases.
Explanation:
Xenon belongs to group O on the periodic table. Most of the elements here are unreactive.
Due to the large size of Xenon, the outermost electrons have very low effective nuclear charge. Effective nuclear charge is the effect of the positive charges of the nucleus on the electrons in orbits. This effect decreases outward as atomic shell increases.
Xenon has a very large atomic radius and there is weak a nuclear charge on the outermost electrons. The more electronegative elements would be able to attract some of its outermost electrons easily and form chemical bonds with xenon much more readily.
Answer:
2,4-di Ethyl-2-methylpentane
C10H22
3,4 dimethyl heptane
C9H20
Explanation:
Water acts as an acid (donates H+) when it reacts with a stronger base, say sodium hydroxide. Water acts as a base (accepts H+) when it reacts with a stronger acid, say hydrochloric acid. If the medium is water, water, having a pH of 7, is considered neutral.
