Explanation:
At present, 118 elements are known to us. All these have different properties. Out of these 118, only 94 are naturally occurring. As different elements were being discovered, scientists gathered more and more information about the properties of these elements.
Answer:
The metallic oxide is Li₂O
Explanation:
Let the metallic oxide be M₂O
Thus;
M₂O + H₂ = 2M + H₂O
Molar mass of M₂O = (2x + 16)
We assume Molar mass of M to be x.
We are told that 5.00 g of the metallic oxide produces 2.32 g of the metal.
By proportion, we can write the following;
5g of M₂O × (1 mole of M₂O/(2x + 16)) × (2 moles of M/1 mole of M₂O) = 2.32 g of M × 1 mole of M/x g of M
This cancels out to give us;
10/(2x + 16) = 2.32/x
Cross multiply to get;
10x = 2.32(2x + 16)
10x = 4.64x + 37.12
10x - 4.64x = 37.12
5.36x = 37.12
x = 37.12/5.36
x = 6.925 g/mol
The metal with a molar mass closest to this value of x is Lithium which has a molar mass of 6.94 g/mol
Thus the metal is Lithium and as such the metallic oxide is Li₂O
Please mark me brainiest!
The reason why you don’t see solid or liquid oxygen is because oxygen is a natural occurring gas. Gas can not be solid or liquid because there is too much energy to have volume/shape. That’s why you see oxygen tanks, as the tank keeps the gas contained and that is why you can’t see it in the air outside or in something like H20 (water).
Hope this helps :)
Just don’t open the link in the other answer. It’s a scam...
The elements in group 7, which fluorine is in also, would have similar properties due to the valence electrons and the configuration. <span />
