Why are the noble gases (group 18) inert?

Chemistry

dalvyx [7]3 years ago
8 0

The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.

Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,

However, <em>only He, Ne, and Ar are inert</em>. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.

In a titration of 0.35 M HCl and 0.35 M NaOH, how much NaOH should be added to 45.0 ml of HCl to completely neutralize the acid?
Bezzdna [24]
It would be the same amount. So, 45 ml of NaOH is required to be added to the 45 ml of HCI to neutralize the acid fully. Here is a brief calculation:

Firstly, here is your formula: M(HCI) x V(HCI) = M(NaOh) x V(NaOH) 
With the values put in: 0.35 x 45 = 0.35 x V(NaOH) 
= 45 ml. 
There is 45 ml of V(NaOH)

Let me know if you need anything else. :)

Be sure to answer all parts.The combustion of a 40.0−g gaseous mixture of H2 and CH4 releases 3766 kJ of heat. Calculate the amo
Svetach [21]

Answer:H2=11.4g

CH4=28.6g

Explanation:The complete combustion of the two gases can be represented by a balanced reaction below

1. CH4 +2O2___CO2+2H2O

2.2H2+O2___2H2O

Combining the two we have CH4 +2H2+3O2___

CO2+4H2O

Since the mixture contains 40gof CH4 and 2, therefore 20g of CH4 and 8g of H2 combines.

Calculated from their molecular Mass i.e CH4 12+4×2)=20 and 2H2= 2×2×2=8g

Mass of CH4=20/28×40=28.6g

2H2=8/28×40=11.4g

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The answer is d. water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid

Explanation: Surface tension is defined as the attraction on the water of like particles to one another. Water molecules on a surface undergoes cohesion or the sticking together of one molecule to another of the same material.
