Which atom is more likely to gain electrons to satisfy the octet rule? *

1 answer:

4 0

Atoms naturally want 8 valence electrons to be stable. (Octet rule).

Sodium has 1 valence e-
Magnesium has 2
Aluminum has 4
And Phosphorus has 5.

Phosphorus is the most electronegative element listed, and the closest to 8 valence electrons, so it is the most likely candidate.

What mass of Fe(OH)3 is produced when 35 mL of 0.250 M Fe(NO3)3 solution is mixed with 55 mL of a 0.180 M

Zina [86]

Answer:

0.35 g.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of Fe(NO3)3 in 35 mL of 0.250 M Fe(NO3)3 solution.

This is illustrated below:

Molarity of Fe(NO3)3 = 0.250 M

Volume = 35 mL = 35/1000 = 0.035 L

Mole of Fe(NO3)3 =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.250 = mole of Fe(NO3)3 / 0.035

Cross multiply

Mole of Fe(NO3)3 = 0.25 x 0.035

Mole of Fe(NO3)3 = 8.75×10¯³ mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of KOH in 55 mL of 0.180 M

KOH solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of KOH = 0.180 M

Volume = 55 mL = 55/1000 = 0.055 L

Mole of KOH =.?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.180 = mole of KOH /0.055

Cross multiply

Mole of KOH = 0.180 x 0.055

Mole of KOH = 9.9×10¯³ mole.

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

3KOH + Fe(NO3)3 —> Fe(OH)3 + 3KNO3

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of KOH reacted with 1 mole of Fe(NO3)3 to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)3.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of KOH reacted with 1 mole of Fe(NO3)3.

Therefore, 9.9×10¯³ mole of KOH will react with = (9.9×10¯³ x 1)/3 = 3.3×10¯³ mole of Fe(NO3)3.

From the above illustration, we can see that only 3.3×10¯³ mole out of 8.75×10¯³ mole of Fe(NO3)3 given is needed to react completely with 9.9×10¯³ mole of KOH.

Therefore, KOH is the limiting reactant and Fe(NO3)3 is the excess reactant.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Fe(OH)3 produced from the reaction.

In this case, we shall use the limiting reactant because it will give the maximum yield of Fe(OH)3 as all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is KOH and the mole of Fe(OH)3 produce can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of KOH reacted to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)3.

Therefore, 9.9×10¯³ mole of KOH will react to produce = (9.9×10¯³ x 1)/3 = 3.3×10¯³ mole of Fe(OH)3.

Finally, we shall convert 3.3×10¯³ mole of Fe(OH)3 to grams. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Fe(OH)3 = 56 + 3(16 + 1) = 56 + 3(17) = 107 g/mol

Mole of Fe(OH)3 = 3.3×10¯³ mole

Mass of Fe(OH)3 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

3.3×10¯³ = Mass of Fe(OH)3 / 107

Cross multiply

Mass of Fe(OH)3 = 3.3×10¯³ x 107

Mass of Fe(OH)3 = 0.3531 ≈ 0.35 g.

Therefore, 0.35 g of Fe(OH)3 was produced from the reaction.

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation: 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) The prod

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The number of moles of KClO₃ reacted was 0,15 mol

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 2O₂(g)

The only gas product is O₂.

Total pressure is the sum of vapor pressure of water with O₂ gas formed. Thus, pressure of O₂ is:

749mmHg - 23,8mmHg = 725,2mmHg

Using gas law:

PV/RT = n

Where:

P is pressure (725,2mmHg ≡ 0,9542atm)

V is volume (5,76L)

R is gas constant (0,082 atmL/molK)

And T is temperature (25°C ≡ 298,15K)

Replacing, number of moles of O₂ are 0,2248 moles

As 2 moles of KClO₃ react with 3 moles of O₂ the moles of KClO₃ that reacted was:

0,2248 mol O₂× $\frac{2 mol KClO_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}}$ = 0,15 mol of KClO₃

I hope it helps!

Consider the reaction of A(g) + B(g) + C(g) => D(g) for whichthe following data were obtained:

AveGali [126]

Answer:

rate= k[A]²[B]²[C]

Explanation:

When concentration of A is increased two times ,keeping other's concentration constant , rate of reaction becomes 4 times .

So rate is proportional to [A]²

When concentration of B is increased two times , keeping other's concentration constant,rate of reaction becomes 4 times.

So rate is proportional to [B]²

When concentration of C is increased two times , keeping other's concentration constant, rate of reaction becomes 2 times.

So rate is proportional to [C]

So rate= k[A]²[B]²[C]
