Answer:

The answer to your question is: The second option.

Explanation:

Atoms are stable when they gain or lose electrons to have 8 electrons.

They have one valence electron.  Noble gases have 8 electrons, not one, If they would have 1 electron they would be extremely reactive.

They have eight valence electrons. This is the right answer, noble gases have 8 electrons that is why they are unreactive.

They have seven valence electrons.  If noble gases would have 7 electrons, they would be very reactive.

They have two valence electrons. This option is incorrect, elements that have 2 electrons are reactive like Calcium, Magnesium, etc.

What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

As the speed of a particle increases, does its associated wavelenght increase or decrease
Zina [86]

The de Broglie hypothesis proposed that all particles have wave-like properties, with the wavelength being inversely proportional to the velocity of the particle.


Therefore as the velocity (speed in this question) increases, the wavelength *decreases*.
