Which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be in the same group? X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion. X tends to form a

2+ ion; Y tends to gain two electrons. X will tend to gain one electron; Y has eight valence electrons. X has an atomic number 15; Y forms a 3- ion.

Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.

Answer is: X has an atomic number 15; Y forms a 3- ion.

1)  X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion is not correct, because X is probably metal (lost one electron, group 1) and Y is nonmetal (gain one electron, group 17).

2) X tends to form a 2+ ion; Y tends to gain two electrons is not correct, because X lost two electrons (probably metal from group 2).

3) X will tend to gain one electron; Y has eight valence electrons is not correct, because X is probably from group 17 and Y is noble gas (group 18).

4) Y is phosphorus (atomic number 15, group 15) and Y is nonmetal from group 15.

"What makes a bond polar"?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A.

Explanation:

A Covalent bond polar is between 2 non metals where one atom is bigger than the other one so the distribution of charges creates this polarity.

A. One atom attracts shared electrons more strongly than the other atom  This is the correct definition of bond polar, one element is bigger and stronger than the other element.

B. One atom has transferred its electrons completely to another atom  This definition is incorrect, it is the definition of ionic bonding.

C. A sea of electrons has been created between the elements  This definition is incorrect for the polar bond, it describes a metallic bonding.

D. Two atoms are sharing electrons with equal attraction This definition is incorrect for a polar bond, but is the correct definition for nonpolar bonding.

A 1.25 g sample of aluminum is reacted with 3.28 g of copper (II) sulfate. What is the limiting reactant?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

d. Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 1.25 g

Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g

What is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3CuSO₄   →   Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Number of moles of CuSO₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

               Al           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                 2          :             1

               0.05       :          1/2×0.05=0.025 mol

                Al           :            Cu

                 2            :              3

               0.05         :            3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol

         CuSO₄           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                3             :             1

               0.02         :          1/3×0.02=0.007 mol

         CuSO₄           :            Cu

               3               :              3

               0.02         :              0.02

Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.

A 0.288 g sample of an unknown monoprotic acid is dissolved in water and titrated with a 0.115 M NaOH solution. After the additi
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

74.0 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the generic neutralization reaction

HA + NaOH ⇒ NaA + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of NaOH

At the equivalence point, 33.83 mL of 0.115 M NaOH react.

0.03383 L × 0.115 mol/L = 3.89 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of HA that completely react with 3.89 × 10⁻³ moles of NaOH

The molar ratio of HA to NaOH is 1:1. The reacting moles of HA is 1/1 × 3.89 × 10⁻³ mol = 3.89 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the acid

3.89 × 10⁻³ moles of HA have a mass of 0.288 g.

M = 0.288 g / 3.89 × 10⁻³ mol = 74.0 g/mol

Chalcopyrite is an ore with the composition cufes2. what is the percentage of iron in a 39.6 g sample of this ore? answer in uni
iren2701 [21]
<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass. For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound. Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu Fe has 55.845 amu and S has 36.065 amu Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus 63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521 That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845 So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521 Which comes out to 29.15% by mass Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>
