chlorine has 7 outer energy level electrons and argon has 8. what is the difference in the reactivity of these two elements?

Chlorine is more reactive than argon, because argon is not reactive at all. Chlorine only has to gain 1 valence electron

Chlorine is highly reactive as it seeks to gain an extra electron to balance its outer shell (max 8) and argon is stable because it has a stable outer shell

determine mass of water formed when 12.5 L NH3(at298K and 1.50atm) is reacted with 18.9L of O2 (at 323K and 1.1atm)

sasho [114]

The mass of water formed is

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

Use the ideal gas equation to calculate the moles of NH3 and O2

that is Pv= n RT

where; P= pressure,

V= volume,

n = number of moles,

R=gas constant = 0.0821 l .atm/ mol.K

make n the formula of the subject by diving both side by RT

n = PV /RT

The moles of NH3

n= (1.50 atm x 12.5 L) /( 0.0821 L. atm /mol.k x 298 K) =0.766 moles

The moles of O2

=(1.1 atm x 18.9 L) / ( 0.0821 L. atm/ mol.k x 323 K) = 0.784 moles

write the reaction between NH3 and O2

4 NH3 + 5 O2 →4 No +6H2O

from equation above 0.766 moles of NH3 reacted to produce

0.766 x 6/4 =1.149 moles of H2O

0.784 moles of O2 reacted to produce 0.784 x 6/5=0.9408 moles of H20

since O2 is totally consumed, O2 is the limiting reagent and therefore the moles of H2O produced= 0.9408 moles

mass of H2O = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of H2O = (1 x2)+16= 18 g/mol

mass = 18 g/mol x 0.9408 moles= 16.93 grams

Write Lewis structures for the following molecules: (a) ICl, (b) PH3, (c) P4 (each P is bonded to three other P atoms), (d) H2S,

spin [16.1K]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure for the following molecules are shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

Now we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure for the following molecules.

(a) The given molecule is, $ICl$

As we know that iodine and chlorine have '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $ICl$ = 7 + 7 = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

(b) The given molecule is, $PH_3$

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $PH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

(c) The given molecule is, $P_4$

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $P_4$ = 4(5) = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 14 number of non-bonding electrons.

(d) The given molecule is, $H_2S$

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $H_2S$ = 6 + 2(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 4 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(e) The given molecule is, $N_2H_4$

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $N_2H_4$ = 2(5) + 4(1) = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(f) The given molecule is, $HClO_3$

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $HClO_3$ = 1 + 7 + 3(6) = 26

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 14 number of non-bonding electrons.

(g) The given molecule is, $COBr_2$

As we know that bromine has '7' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and carbon has '4' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $COBr_2$ = 4 + 6 + 2(7) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.
