Answer:

Elements in same group have same chemical properties due to same number of valence electrons in valence shell.

Explanation:

Chemical properties are those properties which results in transforming the starting material to a entirely new substance with different chemical and physical properties. This transformation takes place after a chemical reaction. Hence, the chemical reactivity of some atoms is greater than the others and vice versa.

In periodic table it is found that the elements in the same group have almost same chemical behaviour. For example, elements of group 8 (or 18) are almost non reactive, while that of group 1 and group 7 are found very reactive and show same chemical behaviour like group 1 elements forms +1 ion while group 7 elements form -1 ions as the group 1 metals have single valence shell electron which upon losing allow the atom to attain stability and the halogen having 7 electrons in valence shell upon accepting one electron allow them to attain a octet of stability respectively.

To use combustion analysis data to determine an empirical formula A molecular formula expresses the number of each kind of atom

Kitty [74]

Answer:

0,1 mol of carbon and 0.2 moles of hydrogen were in the original sample.

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of the compound is

$C_{x} H_{y} O_{z} +O_{2} -> CO_{2} + H_{2}O$

And the molar mass of CO2 and H2O are 44g/mol and 18g/mol respectively

All the mass of carbon producing the CO2 must come from the carbon of the unknown compound, thus it is necessary to calculate the moles of carbon in 4.4g of CO2

$\frac{4.4gx12g}{44gx12g/mol} = 0.1 mol$ of Carbon

Also, all the mass of hydrogen producing the H2O must come from the hydrogen of the unknown compound, hence it is necessary to calculate the moles of hydrogen in 1.8g of water

$\frac{1.8gx2g}{18gx1g/mol} = 0.2 mol$ of Hydrogen
