When the equation below is balanced with the smallest possible integer coefficients, what is the coefficient for PH3?

Chemistry

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step 1: The unbalanced equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 4x H (in P2H4), on the right side we have 3x H (in PH3). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply P2H4 on the left side by 3 and PH3 on the right by 4.

3P2H4(g ) ⇆ 4PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 6x P (in 3P2H4) on the right side we have 8x P (4x in 4PH3 and 4x in P4). To balance the amount of P on bot hsides, we have to multiply 3P2H4 by 2 and 4PH3 also by 2. Now the equation is balanced

6P2H4(g ) ⇆ 8PH3(g) + P4(s)

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

Which of the following atoms has the greatest atomic radius? Oxygen (o) fluorine (F) Chlorine (CL) Carbon (C)
Andrei [34K]

Periodic Trend:

The Atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period

Group Trend:

The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. As atomic number increases down a group, there is a increase in the positive nuclear charge, however the co-occurring increase in the number of orbitals wins out, increasing the atomic radius down a group in the periodic table

Answer :

The Atom with the greatest atomic radius is chlorine. Fluorine can be ruled out because it is in the same period as oxygen and further to the right down the period. Chlorine has the largest atomic size because it is farthest down the group of any of the above elements listed.

Andrej [43]

Remark

The given thing on the right is a positron. The mass for these subatomic particles is considered to be 0. It's atomic number is 1 which means it is a blood relative of a proton.

So essentially what happens is that X is one space to the left on the periodic table. But let's solve this a little bit more formally.

Solution

_{65}^{147}\text{Tb}\longrightarrow _{z}^{y}\text{x} +_{1}^{0}{e}

y stays the same at 147. It is z that changes.

65 = z + 1     Subtract 1 from both sides.

64 = z

So the chemical with 64 as its position on the periodic table is
