How many vance electrons does neon need to be stable

1 answer:

8 0

An element is stable when it has a full outershell.
Generally, most shells after the first can hold 8 electrons.
The first shell can only hold 2

So in order for neon to be stable it must have a full outer shell
The first shell can hold 2
Neon has 10 electrons
10-2=8
The second shell can hold 8
And neon has 8 electrons left

So it must have 8 valence electrons to be stable

For the gas phase decomposition of 1-bromopropane, CH3CH2CH2BrCH3CH=CH2 + HBr the rate constant at 622 K is 6.43×10-4 /s and the

Radda [10]

Answer is: activation energy of this reaction is 212,01975 kJ/mol.
Arrhenius equation: ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁).
k₁ = 0,000643 1/s.
k₂ = 0,00828 1/s.

T₁ = 622 K.

T₂ = 666 K.

R = 8,3145 J/Kmol.

1/T₁ = 1/622 K = 0,0016 1/K.
1/T₂ = 1/666 K = 0,0015 1/K.
ln(0,000643/0,00828) = Ea/8,3145 J/Kmol · (-0,0001 1/K).
-2,55 = Ea/8,3145 J/Kmol · (-0,0001 1/K).
Ea = 212019,75 J/mol = 212,01975 kJ/mol.

Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

22.4 L of hydrogen is taken in a cylinder at zero degree Celsius and at one atm. This gas is transferred to a cylinder of 11.2 L

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

2 Atm; 2.016 g

Explanation:

Changing the volume without changing the temperature or mass only changes the pressure. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional so halving the volume will double the pressure.

P = 1 Atm, T = 0 °C are "standard" temperature and pressure (STP). The volume of 1 mole of gas is 22.4 L under these conditions. That means the amount of hydrogen gas in the cylinder is 1 mole, so has a mass of 2.016 g.

After the volume reduction, the pressure is 2 Atm, and the mass remains 2.016 g.

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?

Kipish [7]

The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.
