<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 4-7.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A non-metal is defined as the element which gains electron to attain stable electronic configuration and to attain a negative ion which is anion.

X+ne^-\rightarrow X^{n-}

Non-metals are the elements which belong to Group 14 to Group 17.

The valence electronic configuration of the elements:

  • Belonging to Group 14 = ns^2np^2

Number of valence electrons = 4

  • Belonging to Group 16= ns^2np^3

Number of valence electrons = 5

  • Belonging to Group 16 = ns^2np^4

Number of valence electrons = 6

  • Belonging to Group 17 = ns^2np^5

Number of valence electrons = 7

Hence, the correct answer is 4-7.

2C₂H6 + 702 —&gt;4C02 + 6H₂O
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

975.56×10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of C₂H₆ = 4.88×10²⁵

Number of molecules of CO₂ produced  =  ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆  + 7O₂     →      4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of C₂H₆:

1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

4.88×10²⁵  molecules×1mol/6.022×10²³ molecules

0.81×10² mol

81 mol

Now we will compare the moles of C₂H₆ with CO₂.

                     C₂H₆          :             CO₂

                          2           :               4

                           81         :           4/2×81 = 162 mol

Number of molecules of CO₂:

1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

162 mol ×6.022×10²³ molecules / 1 mol

975.56×10²³ molecules

8.43g of CaCl2·2H2O is dissolved in 40.0g of H2O. What is the molality of the solution? (Note that the H2O in the CaCl2·2H2O mus
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

[CaCl₂·2H₂O] = 1.43 m

Explanation:

Molality is mol of solute / kg of solvent.

Mass of solvent = 40 g

Let's convert g to kg → 40 g / 1000 = 0.04 kg

Let's determine the moles of solute (mass / molar mass)

8.43 g / 146.98 g/mol = 0.057 mol

Molality = 0.057 mol / 0.04 kg → 1.43
