Hydrogen gas caught fire quickly in the Hindenberg accident. In comparison, neon gas and helium gas are nonreactive. This is why

helium is safe for aircraft and neon is safe for electrical signs. Which statement best explains why helium and neon have similar chemical properties?

Answer:

Helium and Neon have similar chemical properties because both of them completely fill the outer shell of their atoms' electrons, so there is nothing to share with other atoms, neither with the same element nor with any other element.

Explanation:  

Helium and Neon are both  noble gases . As elements react, their atoms, by losing, acquiring, or sharing electrons, complete their outer shells. Noble gas atoms already have full outer shells, so there is no tendency for them to lose, gain, or share electrons. There are incomplete outer shells of atoms of group 1 and 7 elements (so they are reactive)

<u>Chemical properties of HELIUM and NEON -: </u>

  • In group 8(or 0) of the periodic table, on the far right side, the Noble Gases are contained. Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon are their names.
  • They are extremely colourless and unreactive.
  • They do not form bonds, so they still remain as single (monatomic) atoms.
  • There is very little chemical reactivity in them.

Hence, helium and neon have similar chemical properties as they are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold.

We know that the relationship between enthalpy and entropy is:
ΔS = <span>ΔH/T
Therefore, both the change in enthalpy and the change in entropy will have the same sign. Now, considering each change:

4. A galvanic cell is formed when two metals are immersed in solu- tions differing in concentration 1 when two different metals
emmasim [6.3K]

A galvanic cell is formed when two metals are immersed in solutions differing in concentration 1 when two different metals are immersed.

<h3>What is galvanic cell?</h3>

A galvanic cell is an electrochemical device that transforms chemically generated free energy into electrical energy. A photogalvanic cell produces photochemical species that react to produce an electrical current when connected to an external circuit.

<h3>How does galvanic cell works?</h3>

In order to create a pathway for the flow of electrons via this wire, the galvanic cell makes use of the ability to split the flow of electrons during the processes of oxidation and reduction, forcing a half-reaction and linking each with a wire.

An electrochemical device known as a galvanic cell converts chemical energy from a spontaneous redox response into electrical energy. It possesses an electrical potential of 1.1 V. The anode, which is a negative plate in galvanic cells, is where oxidation takes place. It is a positive plate where lessening takes place.

How many liters of methane gas (CH4) need to be combusted to produce 12.4 liters of water vapor, if all measurements are taken a
Ivan
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) ----> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)
</span>
We are given the amount of water to be produced from the reaction. This amount will be used for the calculations. Calculations are as follows:

12.4 L H2O ( 1 mol / 22.4 L ) ( 1 mol CH4 / 2 mol H2O ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 6.2 L CH4

Liquid octane (CH) has a density of 0.7025 g/mL at 20 °C. Find the true mass (murue) of octane when the mass weighed in 18 air i
Goshia [24]

Explanation:

According to Buoyance equation,

          m = [m' \times \frac{1 - \frac{d_{a}}{d_{w}}}{1 - \frac{d_{a}}{d}}]

where,      m = true mass

                 m' = mass read from the balance = 17.320 g

              d_{a} = density of air = 0.0012 g/ml

              d_{w} = density of the balance = 7.5 g/ml

                    d = density of liquid octane = 0.7025 g/ml

Now, putting all the given values into the above formula and calculate the true mass as follows.

      m = [m' \times \frac{1 - \frac{d_{a}}{d_{w}}}{1 - \frac{d_{a}}{d}}]    

          = [17.320 g \times \frac{1 - \frac{0.0012 g/ml}{7.5 g/ml}}{1 - \frac{0.0012 g/ml}{0.7025}}]

          = 17.320 g \times 0.999850                

          = 17.317 g

Thus, we can conclude that the true mass of octane is 17.317 g.
