Which element does not have similar chemical characteristics as phosphorus (P)?

1 answer:

3 0

Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.

That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).

The equilibrium of 2H 2 O(g) 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) at 2,000 K has a Keq value of 5.31 x 10-10. What is the Keq expression for this

nevsk [136]

Answer:

$5.31*10^{-10} = \frac{[]H_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}{[H_{2}O]^{2}}$

Explanation:

For a chemical reaction, equilibrium is a state at which the rate of the forward reaction equals that of the reverse reaction. The equilibrium constant Keq is a parameter characteristic of this state which is expressed as a ratio of the concentration of the products to that of the reactants.

For a hypothetical reaction:

xA + yB ⇄ zC

The equilibrium constant is :

$Keq = \frac{[A]^{x}[B]^{y}}{[C]^{z} }$

The given reaction involves the decomposition of H2O into H2 and O2

$2H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons 2H_{2} + O_{2}$

The equilibrium constant is expressed as :

$Keq = \frac{[]H_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}{[H_{2}O]^{2}}$

Since Keq = 5.31*10^-10

$5.31*10^{-10} = \frac{[]H_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}{[H_{2}O]^{2}}$

Given the following equation: Cu + 2 AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2

Temka [501]

Given the following equation; Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag, 48.97 grams of Cu are needed to react with 262g of AgNO3.

<h3>How to calculate mass of substances?</h3>

The mass of a substance can be calculated using the following steps:

Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

1 mole of Cu react with 2 moles of AgNO3

Molar mass of AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol
Molar mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

moles of AgNO3 = 262g/169.87g/mol = 1.54mol

1.54 moles of AgNO3 will react with 0.77 moles of Cu.

mass of Cu = 0.77 × 63.5 = 48.97g

Therefore, given the following equation; Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag, 48.97 grams of Cu are needed to react with 262g of AgNO3.

Volume is an extensive physical property because it is dependent on the size of the sample.

BaLLatris [955]

Hi,

The statement is true, as the volume of a sample depends on its size.

I hope this helps. If I was not clear enough or if you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.

vovangra [49]

This question is incomplete. Luckily, I found the same problem which is shown in the attached picture. To answer the question, we must know how the size and charge affect the lattice energy. The answer is: lattice energy increases with the increasing charge of the ions, and decreasing radius of the atoms. Therefore, the ranking would be: A .
