How do noble gases such as Xenon(Xe) bond

Chemistry

Hunter-Best [27]2 years ago

Explanation:

The noble gases are found in group 18 of the periodic table with a complete valence electron shell. The elements of group 18 are chemically stable because their valence shells are filled.

However, Xenon differs from other noble elements because of its size and large number of electrons. The electrons in the outer shell are not tightly bound with the nucleus and thus, are somewhat free to part in reactions, this why xenon has so many compounds

Write the reaction that occurs when propyl methanoate is hydrolyzed in water and in NaOH

Free_Kalibri [48]

An ester , propyl methanoate ( HCOOC₃H₇) when reacts with sodium hydroxide( NaOH) forms sodium methanoate (HCOONa) as the main product and propanol (C₃H₇OH).

The reaction is as follows:

HCOOC₃H₇+NaOH ⇒HCOONa + C₃H₇OH

So when propyl methanoate is hydrolyzed in water and in NaOH then sodium methanoate (HCOONa) as the main product and propanol (C₃H₇OH) forms

Write an equation that expresses the law of thermodynamics in terms of heat and work

Anettt [7]

We write DE = q+w, where DE is the internal energy change and q and w are heat and work, respectively.

(b)Under what conditions will the quantities q and w be negative numbers?

q is negative when heat flows from the system to the surroundings, and w is negative when the system does work on the surroundings.

As an aside: In applying the first law, do we need to measure the internal energy of a system? Explain.

The absolute internal energy of a system cannot be measured, at least in any practical sense. The internal energy encompasses the kinetic energy of all moving particles in the system, including subatomic particles, as well as the electrostatic potential energies between all these particles. We can measure the change in internal energy (DE) as the result of a chemical or physical change, but we cannot determine the absolute internal energy of either the initial or the final state. The first law allows us to calculate the change in internal energy during a transformation by calculating the heat and work exchanged between the system and its surroundings.

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO4 · 2H2O

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

= 7.66 x 10²¹ oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of CaSO₄·2H₂O

Explanation:

For problems like this posting, one needs an understanding of the following topics:

The definition of the mole

1 mole of substance = mass in grams of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number ( = 6.023 x 10²³ ) of particles of the specified substance. This is generally one formula weight of the substance of interest. From this, the following equivalent relationships should be memorized:

1 mole = 1 formula weight = 1 mole weight (g)= 6.023 x 10²³ particles

Converting grams to moles:

Given grams => moles = grams/gram formula wt

Converting moles to grams:

Given moles => grams = moles x gram formula wt

_________________________________________________________

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO₄ · 2H₂O.

Given mass CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 0.364 grams

Formula Wt CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 172 g/mole

moles CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = mass CaSO4 · 2H2O / formula Wt. CaSO₄ · 2H₂O

= 0.364 g CaSO₄·2H₂O / 172 g CaSO4·2H2O

= (0.364/172) mole CaSO₄·2H₂O

= 2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄·2H₂O

∴ number of Oxy (O) atoms in 0.364 grams CaSO₄·2H₂O

= (2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄ · 2H₂O)(6.023 x 10²³ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O/ mole)

= 1.276876 x 10²¹molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O CaSO₄2H₂O

= 1.276876 x 10²¹ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O x 6 oxygen atoms / molecule

= 7.661256 x 10²¹ oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of CaSO₄·2H₂O

= 7.66 x 10²¹ oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of CaSO₄·2H₂O
