Valency, the combining capacity of an element, is equal to the number of electrons needed, or required to be removed from the outermost shell of the atom of that element, to have a complete 'octet'. The helium atom has only the 1s orbital in its only shell, and it is completely filled with 2 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 1s2.<span>Therefore, helium and the other inert gases with complete octets normally do not take part in chemical reactions. They are considered as zero-valent elements.</span>

What is one benfit of using ph instead of molar concentrations?
puteri [66]

One benefit of using ph instead of molar concentrations is that since molarity is a rate of “ moles per liter" ,  Molarity (M) is used to measure the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, which is used with pH applications. ... The H+ is the molarity number, which shows the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.

a 4.50 g coin of copper absorbed 54 calories of heat. what was the final temperature of the copper if the initial temperature wa
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Final temperature =  T₂ = 155.43 °C

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Given data:

Mass of coin = 4.50 g

Heat absorbed = 54 cal

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Specific heat of copper = 0.092 cal/g °C

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT = T₂ -T₁

Q = m.c. T₂ -T₁

54 cal = 4.50 g × 0.092 cal/g °C ×  T₂ -25  °C

54 cal = 0.414 cal/ °C ×  T₂ -25  °C

54 cal /0.414 cal/ °C =  T₂ -25  °C

130.43 °C  =  T₂ -25 °C

130.43 °C + 25 °C = T₂

155.43 °C = T₂

Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?
guapka [62]

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)
