Answer:

2. X₂O

Explanation:

Elements in group 1A are known as alkali metal. Examples include lithium, sodium, and potassium among others.
These elements have one valence electron in the outermost energy level and therefore form cations with a charge of +1.
They have a valency of 2.
Oxygen, on the other hand,has a valency of 2.
Therefore, a chemical formula of a compound formed when an element in group 1A say X reacts with oxygen will be X₂O.
To write the formula, we identify the symbol of the elements and their valence.
Then the atoms of the two elements exchange their valencies which are written as a subscript on each symbol of an element.

The heat of vaporization of water at 100°c is 40.66 kj/mol. Calculate the quantity of heat that is absorbed/released when 9.00 g

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

20.3 kJ of heat is absorbed when 9.00 g of steam condenses to liquid water.

Explanation:

Heat is being consumed during vaporization and heat is being released during condensation.

To vaporize 1 mol of water, 40.66 kJ of heat is being consumed.

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Hence, to vaporize 18.02 g of water , 40.66 kJ of heat is being consumed.

So, to vaporize 9.00 g of water, $(\frac{40.66}{18.02}\times 9.00)kJ$ of heat or 20.3 kJ of heat is being consumed

As condensation is a reverse process of vaporization therefore 20.3 kJ of heat is absorbed when 9.00 g of steam condenses to liquid water.

17.8 mL NaOH

Step 1. Write the chemical equation

Fe^(2+) + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)2 + 2Na^(+)

Step 2. Calculate the moles of Fe^(2+)

Moles of Fe^(2+) = 500 mL Fe^(2+) × [0.0230 mmol Fe^(2+)]/[1 mL Fe^(2+)]

= 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+)

Step 3. Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+) × [2 mmol NaOH]/[1 mmol Fe^(2+)]

= 23.00 mmol NaOH

Step 4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = 23.00 mmol NaOH × (1 mL NaOH/1.29 mmol NaOH)

= 17.8 mL NaOH
