Answer: Neon is not reactive (full valence shell)

Explanation:

Neon is a noble gas and has a stable structure (8 valence electrons) -therefore, is not very reactive.

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 1.731.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter c) 6.09 g of sodium and 9.38 g of chlorine.

Explanation:

This problem is solve using rule of three

We know that the proportion Sodium to Chloride is 1 to 1 in sodium chloride, so we have to look for this proportion in the options

AM Sodium = 23 g

AM Chlorine = 35.5 g

Sodium Chlorine

23 g ---------------- 1 mol 35.5 g -------------- 1 mol

1713.73g ------------- x 2666.6 g ------------- x

x = 1713.73/23 = 74.51 x = 2666.6/35.5 = 75.12

These values are very similar, we have to look for the proportion in the options

a) 6.09g of sodium = 0.26 mol

4,87 g of chlorine = 0.14 mol These numbers are not very similar

b) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.037 mol of Cl This is not the answer

c) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.26 mol of Cl These numbers are the same, the proportion is 1:1, this is the answer

d) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.36 mol of Cl This is not the answer

Find the pH of HCl with a concentration of 0.00006M<br> Round to the nearest whole number

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

4.22

Explanation:

pH stands for potential hydrogen. The letter “p” denotes potential and the letter “H” denotes hydrogen.

pH helps to find the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution.

The number of hydrogen ions (protons) present in a solution is determined by the pH scale.

A pH greater than 7 makes the water more alkaline and a pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic.

$pH=-\log [H^+]=-\log [0.00006]=4.22$

The NaCl crystal structure consists of alternating Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions lying next to each other in three dimensions. If the Na⁺ rad

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer : The radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.

Explanation :

As we are given that the Na⁺ radius is 56.4% of the Cl⁻ radius.

Let us assume that the radius of Cl⁻ be, (x) pm

So, the radius of Na⁺ = $x\times \frac{56.4}{100}=(0.564x)pm$

In the crystal structure of NaCl, 2 Cl⁻ ions present at the corner and 1 Na⁺ ion present at the edge of lattice.

Thus, the edge length is equal to the sum of 2 radius of Cl⁻ ion and 2 radius of Na⁺ ion.

Given:

Distance between Na⁺ nuclei = 566 pm

Thus, the relation will be:

$2\times \text{Radius of }Cl^-+2\times \text{Radius of }Na^+=\text{Distance between }Na^+\text{ nuclei}$

$2\times x+2\times 0.564x=566$

$2x+1.128x=566$

$3.128x=566$

$x=180.9\approx 181pm$

The radius of Cl⁻ ion = (x) pm = 181 pm

The radius of Na⁺ ion = (0.564x) pm = (0.564 × 181) pm =102.084 pm ≈ 102 pm

Thus, the radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.
