Among the following, which atom is most likely to form an ion with a charge of 2+?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago

Answer:

C. Ca.

Explanation:

The atom loses or gains electrons forming anion or cation to reach stability (fill the outermost shell of the electron levels).

When atom gains electrons forms anions with negative charge.

While, when atom loses electrons forms cations with positive charge.

A. O:

O atom has 8 electrons in its nucleus and gains 2 electrons to reach stability (10 electrons, configuration of Ne).

<em>So, it forms O²⁻.</em>

<em></em>

B. AI:

Al atom has 13 electrons in its nucleus and loses 3 electrons to reach stability (10 electrons, configuration of Ne).

<em>So, it forms Al³⁺.</em>

<em></em>

C. Ca:

Ca atom has 12 electrons in its nucleus and loses 2 electrons to reach stability (10 electrons, configuration of Ne).

<em>So, it forms Ca²⁺.</em>

<em></em>

D. Na:

Na atom has 11 electrons in its nucleus and loses 1 electron to reach stability (10 electrons, configuration of Ne).

<em>So, it forms Na⁺.</em>

Answer : The time passed in years is 2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}

Explanation :

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}

k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{15.3}{14.8}

t=274.64\text{ years}=2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}

Answer is C – Unsaturated fat.

Fats are large molecules basically made from a combination of glycerol and three chains of fatty acids. Usually fats consist of C, H and O. According to the C – C bond, there are two types of fats as saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have only C – C single bonds and all C atoms are sp³ hybridized atoms. But in unsaturated fats other than C – C single bonds there are C – C double bonds. Hence, both sp³ and sp² hybridized C atoms can be seen.

Sonja [21]
There are two equations of Gibb's free energy, ΔG°:

ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°
ΔG° = -RTlnK

Let's use the first equation. Since ΔS° is negligible, it is equal to 0. Therefore, ΔG° = ΔH° = 7.11 kJ/mol. We use this value to the second equation.

7.11 kJ/mol = -(8.314 J/mol·K)*(1 kJ/1000 J)*(25 + 273 K)*(lnK)
lnK = -2.8697
K = 0.05671

Therefore, the equilibrium constant is equal to 0.05671.
