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

2 answers:

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

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the eq

ad-work [718]

Answer:

-75 cm^3/min

Explanation:

Given from Boyle's law;

PV=C

From product rule;

VdP/dt + PdV/dt = dC/dt

but dC/dt = 0, V= 500 cm^3, P= 200kPa, dP= 30kPa/min

PdV/dt = dC/dt - VdP/dt

dV/dt = dC/dt - VdP/dt/ P

substituting values;

dV/dt = 0 - (500 * 30)/200

dV/dt = -75 cm^3/min

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. the accepted concentration for this purpose is 1.00 ppm chlorine, or 1.00 g of chl

frez [133]

The accepted concentration of chlorine is 1.00 ppm that is 1 gram of chlorine per million of water.

The volume of water is $2.29\times 10^{4} gal$ .

Since, 1 gal= 3785.41 mL

Thus, $2.29\times 10^{4} gal=2.29\times 10^{4}\times 3785.41 mL=8.66\times 10^{7}mL$

Density of water is 1 g/mL thus, mass of water will be $8.66\times 10^{7}g$ .

Since, 1 grams of chlorine → $10^{6}$ grams of water.

1 g of water → $10^{-6}$ g of chlorine and,

$8.66\times 10^{7}g$ of water →86.6 g of chlorine

Since, the solution is 9% chlorine by mass, the volume of solution will be:

$V=\frac{100}{9}\times 86.6 mL=9.62\times 10^{2} mL$

Thus, volume of chlorine solution is 9.62\times 10^{2} mL.

SpyIntel [72]

To determine whether the amount of H2 in the lab is dangerous, we first need to know how much hydrogen gas is present in the room in units of percent by volume. For this particular problem, we cannot exactly determine since we do not know the total volume of the room. Hope this answers the question.

2) Which liberates the most energy?

evablogger [386]

Answer: $F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

$F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$
