Setler79 [48]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

3 electrons

Explanation:

The elements of group 5A of the periodic table are the following:

nitrogen, sodium, arsenic, antimony and bismuth.

To determine the amount of electrons in the last energy level we need to know the electronic configuration of each element.

Electronic configuration

N: [He] 2s2 2p3

P: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

As: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3

Sb: [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3

Bi: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3

As we can see they all have 3 electrons in their last energy level .

What is the volume in liters of hydrogen gas that would be produced by the reaction of 40.0 g of Al with excess HCl at STP accor

DaniilM [7]

The volume in liters of Hydrogen gas = 49.28 L

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The reaction equation is the chemical formula of reagents and product substances

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products

Reaction

2 Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq) → 2 AlCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂ (g)

mol Al :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{Ar}=\dfrac{40}{27}=1.481$

mol H₂ :

$\tt \dfrac{3}{2}\times 1.481=2.2$

At STP, 1 mol =22.4 L

so the volume of hydrogen :

$\tt 2.2 \times 22.4=49.28~L$

A certain hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C9H16. Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocar

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is $C_{9}H_{16}$ . Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = $C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1$

= $9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1$

= 9 - 8 + 1

= 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.
