Selenium has six valence electrons. What is the valence of selenium?

1 answer:

3 0

The six electrons in the outermost shell allow selenium to have a variety of valence numbers.

The valence of selenium depends on which compound it is in. Selenium is very similar to sulfur. It may have a valence of 6.
EXAMPLE:

selenium hexafluoride SeF6, selenium trioxide SeO3

May have 4;

example

selenium tetrafluoride SeF4, selenium dioxide SeO2

MAy have 2;

example

selenium difluoride SeF2, selenium dichloride SeCl2

and may have -2;

example

hydrogen selenide H2Se

Answer: $Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2$

Explanation:

A single displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

$Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2$

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound. $2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

$Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S$

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat.

$C_4H_{12}+7O_2\rightarrow 6H_2O+4CO_2$

Question 2Classify the following organic structures:CH3OCH3CH2CH2CHCH2CH3CH3NHCH3CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3

Naily [24]

Within the options, we have four organic compounds. Let's see what the skeletal structure of the compounds is in order to identify them better:

The first compound CH3OCH3 has two methyl groups linked by a carbon atom, this type of compound is called an Ether

The second compound has a double bond, it is badly written but it seems that is an alkene.

The third compound has two methyl groups linked by nitrogen atoms, therefore will be an amine.

The last compound has a hydroxyl group, therefore it is an alcohol

Answer:

CH3OCH3 Ether

CH2CH2CHCH2CH3 Alkene

CH3NHCH3 Amine

CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3 Alcohol

A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= 135,583 J = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write the conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.
