<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>(4) Group 16 </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Group 16 elements</u></em> of the periodic table is called <em>the oxygen family</em>. They are also called<em><u> Chalcogens</u></em> since they are found as compounds or ores in the earth's crust.
  • These elements like oxygen<em><u>, they have six electrons in the outermost energy level, thus they have a valency of two</u></em> as they require 2 electrons to attain a stable configuration. Examples of elements in this groups includes, oxygen, polonium, sulfur, and selenium.
  • Therefore, due to the fact that element X has six outermost electrons then it belongs to group 16.

Answer:

Hypothesis

Explanation:

The following steps are applicable when we wish to prove a specific fact:

  • a hypothesis is made; this is a statement that we provide after some observations and we wish to either prove or deny it;
  • multiple experiments are carried out in order to gather significantly substantial amount of data that can be then further analyzed and any tendencies can be noticed;
  • based on the data gathered, conclusions are made: we either prove or deny the hypothesis. If hypothesis is proved, it may become a theory over long time.

In the context of this problem, we're at the first step where we make a hypothesis.

A 118-ml flask is evacuated and found to have a mass of 97.129 g. when the flask is filled with 768 torr of helium gas at 35 ?c,
Inessa05 [86]
The full question asks to decide whether the gas was a specific gas. That part is missing in your question. You need to decide whether the gas in the flask is pure helium.

To decide it you can find the molar mass of the gas in the flask, using the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, and then compare with the molar mass of the He.

From pV = nRT you can find n, after that using the mass of gass in the flask you use MM = mass/moles.

1) From pV = nRT, n = pV / RT

Data:
V = 118 ml = 0.118 liter
R = 0.082 atm*liter/mol*K
p = 768 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 1.0105 atm
T = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15 K

n = 1.015 atm * 0.118 liter / [ 0.082 atm*liter/K*mol  * 308.15K] =0.00472 mol

mass of gas = mass of the fask with the gas - mass of the flasl evacuated = 97.171 g - 97.129 g = 0.042

=> MM =  mass/n = 0.042 / 0.00472 = 8.90 g/mol

Now from a periodic table or a table you get that the molar mass of He is 4g/mol

So the numbers say that this gas is not pure helium , because its molar mass is more than double of the molar mass of helium gas.

In the following reaction, what is the effect of adding more NO2 to the starting reaction mixture?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

It would increase the final quantity of products

Explanation:

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

Consider the following chemical reaction.

Chemical reaction:

2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄

In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of reactant.

When the concentration of reactant is increased the system will proceed in forward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when reactant concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of NO₂ increased the reaction proceed in forward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more product is formed.
