FeBr₃ ⇒ limiting reactant
mol NaBr = 1.428
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
2FeBr₃ + 3Na₂S → Fe₂S₃ + 6NaBr
Limiting reactant⇒ smaller ratio (mol divide by coefficient reaction)
211 g of Iron (III) bromide(MW=295,56 g/mol), so mol FeBr₃ :
186 g of Sodium sulfide(MW=78,0452 g/mol), so mol Na₂S :
Coefficient ratio from the equation FeBr₃ : Na₂S = 2 : 3, so mol ratio :
So FeBr₃ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)
mol NaBr based on limiting reactant (FeBr₃) :
Reactivity - Reactivity refers to how likely or vigorously an atom is to react with other substances. This is usually determined by how easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy) and how badly they want to take other atom's electrons (electronegativity) because it is the transfer/interaction of electrons that is the basis of chemical reactions.
Metals
Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.
Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group
Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.
Non-metals
Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period.
Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group.
Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron
Answer:
7 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Oxygen lies in period 2 and group 16 of the periodic table. It is eighth element on the periodic table. Its symbol is O.
Its electronic configuration is given by:
16 = 2,8,6
It has 6 valance electrons. Its valancy is -2. It means can share share and it can gain 2 electron to get stability.
Hence, The element oxygen has <u>7</u> valence electrons.
