Answer:

18.26g

Explanation:

Equation of reaction;

CH₄ + Cl₂ → HCL + CH₃Cl

mass of CH₄ = 29.8g

molar mass of CH₄ = 16g/mol

mass of Cl₂ = 40g

molar mass of Cl₂ = (35.5*2) = 71g/mol

molar mass of CH₃Cl = 50.46g/mol

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of CH₄ = 29.8 / 16 = 1.8625 moles

no. of moles of Cl₂ = 40 / 71 = 0.56moles

Note : limiting reactant is Cl₂

From equation of reaction,

1 mole of Cl₂ = 1 mole of CH₃Cl

0.56 moles of Cl₂ = 0.56 moles of CH₃Cl

No. Of moles of experimental yield = no. Of moles of theoretical yield * percentage yield.

Theoretical yield of n(CH₃Cl) = 0.56 moles

n(CH₃Cl exp) = 0.56 * 0.647

n(CH₃Cl exp) = 0.36232 moles

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = no. Of moles * molar mass

Mass = 0.36232 * 50.46 = 18.26g

m(CH₃Cl) = 18.26g

Answer:

37.091g

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Methane + Chlorine --> Chloromethane

CH4 + Cl2 --> CH3Cl + HCl

From the reaction above;

1 mol of methane reacts with 1 mol of chloromethane.

To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,

28.9g of methane;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 29.8 / 16 = 1.8625 mol

40.3g of chlorine;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 40.3 / 35.5= 1.1352 mol

Since the reaction has a stoichiometry ratio of 1:1, the limiting reagent is the chlorine

From the reaction,

1 mol of chlorine yirlds 1 mol of chloromethane

1.1352 yields x?

1 = 1

1.1352 = x

x = 1.1352

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 1.1352 * 50.5 = 57.3276

Since the reaction has a 64.7% yield, mass of chloromethane formed is given as;

0.647 * 57.3276 = 37.091g

What is the correct answer ?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Element with 6s subshell

Explanation:

Reactivity of an element depends on the electronic configuration and position of element in the periodic table as reactivity increases as we go down the periodic table.

This is so because number of shell increases as move down the periodic table and the last electron is further away from the nucleus.

Element with 6s subshell is the largest among 3s and 4s subshell and has more number of shells so it will react more than 3s and 4s subshell.

Hence, the correct answer is "Element with 6s subshell".

What is the number of the group that has the most reactive nonmetals (give number and letter- Ex 1A, 2A, etc.)?​
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Group 7A

Explanation:

The group 7A elements consists of the most reactive non-metals on the periodic table.

This group is known as the group of halogens. They consist of element fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

  • The elements in this group have the highest electronegativity values.
  • They have 7 valence electrons and requires just one electron to complete their octets.
  • This way, they are highly reactive in their search for that single electron.
