Why do chemically active metals have low electronegativity values?

1 answer:

6 0

Active metals are those metals in the group 1 of the periodic table.

Electronegativity is the trend to atract electrons.

Active metals have few valence electron, because their last shell is of the kind ns^1 or ns^2

Then, these atoms do not trend to attract electrons. The most electronegative atomos are those who have 7 valence elecfrons; this is their last shell is of the kind ns^7, because when they attract one electron to its valence shell they will complete 8 electrons which is the most stable configuration.

In the following compound (HCl) How many electrons are gained and lost by each atom?

Verizon [17]

Explanation:

In HCL, one positive atom is given to chlorine from hydrogen so that it can complete it's octate. chlorine take one electron from hydrogen.

In NaCl, Sodium takes one electron from chlorine to complete its orbit with eight electrons. Chlorine gives one electron to sodium.

Calcium carbonate is often used as an antacid. Your stomach acid is composed of HCl at a pH of 1.5. If you ate toooo much Turkey

stiks02 [169]

<u>Answer:</u> 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution

$pH=-\log [H^+]$ .....(1)

Given value of pH = 1.5

Putting values in equation 1:

$1.5=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.0316M$

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(2)

We are given:

Volume of solution = 15.0 mL

Molarity of HCl = 0.0316 M

Putting values in equation 2:

$0.0316=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}\times 1000}{15.0}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{0.0316\times 15.0}{1000}=4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and calcium carbonate follows:

$2HCl+CaCO_3\rightarrow H_2CO_3+CaCl_2$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, $4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$ of HCl will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 4.74\times 10^{-4}=2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$ of calcium carbonate

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of calcium carbonate = $2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.01 g/mol

Putting values in the above equation:

$\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=(2.37\times 10^{-4}mol)\times 100.01g/mol\\\\\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=0.0237g$

Hence, 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE

user100 [1]

Density is equal to mass divided by volume so the densest object will be the object that has the largest mass in the smallest area. In this case object A is the densest with a density of 10g/cm^3. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
