An atom of element X has one more shell of electrons than an atom of beryllium, but it has one less valence electron than beryll

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

A typical aspirin tablet contains 327 mg of acetylsalicylic acid, HC9H7O4. Calculate the pH of a solution that is prepared by di
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

2.8

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the molarity of the acetylsalicylic acid solution.

M = mass of solute (g) / molar mass of solute × volume of solution (L)

M = 0.327 g / 180.158 g/mol × 0.237 L

M = 7.66 × 10⁻³ M

For a weak acid such as acetylsalicylic acid, we can find the concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where,

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(7.66 × 10⁻³ × 3.3 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 1.6 × 10⁻³ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 1.6 × 10⁻³ = 2.8

What volume (ml) of fluorine gas is required to react with 1. 28 g of calcium bromide to form calcium fluoride and bromine gas a
Alexandra [31]

144 mL of fluorine gas is required to react with 1.28 g of calcium bromide to form calcium fluoride and bromine gas at STP.

<h3>What is Ideal Gas Law ? </h3>

The ideal gas law states that the pressure of gas is directly proportional to the volume and temperature of the gas.

PV = nRT

where,

P = Presure

V = Volume in liters

n = number of moles of gas

R = Ideal gas constant

T = temperature in Kelvin

Here,

P = 1 atm  [At STP]

R = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

T = 273 K  [At STP]

Now first find the number of moles

F₂  +  CaBr₂  →  CaF₂  +  Br₂

Here 1 mole of F₂ reacts with 1 mole of CaBr₂.

So,  199.89 g CaBr₂ reacts with  = 1 mole of F₂

1.28 g of CaBr₂ will react with = n mole of F₂

n = \frac{1.28\g \times 1\ \text{mole}}{199.89\ g}

n = 0.0064 mole

Now put the value in above equation we get

PV = nRT

1 atm × V = 0.0064 × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K

V = 0.1434 L

V ≈ 144 mL

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that 144 mL of fluorine gas is required to react with 1.28 g of calcium bromide to form calcium fluoride and bromine gas at STP.

An unknown metal displaces Ali from solution but does not displace sodium using the activity series determine the unknown metal
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The reactivity of metal is determined by the reactivity series. ... The metal which easily displaced aluminium will lie above in the series but that same element cannot displace sodium, so it will lie below in the series. Hence, from the series, we conclude that the unknown metal could be calcium or magnesium.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)
