Answer:

Grams of KCl produced = 7.60 g

Explanation:

The given reaction is:

2K + Cl2 → 2KCl

It is given that Cl2 is in excess which implies that potassium K is the limiting reagent

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of K produces 2 moles of KCl i.e the molar ratio of K:KCl = 1:1

Moles(K)= \frac{Mass}{Atomic mass}=\frac{4.00g}{39.09g/mol}=0.102moles

Therefore, moles of KCl produced = 0.102

Mass(KCl)=moles*mol.wt = 0.102moles*74.55g/mol=7.60g

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

What type of central-atom orbital hybridization corresponds to each electron-group arrangement:
galina1969 [7]

Tetrahedral arrangement is resulted upon mixing one s and three p atomic orbitals, resulting in 4 hybridized sp^3 orbitals → sp^3 hybridization.

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.

love history [14]
<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a sp^2 hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.

Why is this image a good model for the Law of Conservation of Mass?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. Since the number and type of atoms in the reactant side of the chemical equation are the same as on the product side, the Law of Conservation of Mass has been demonstrated.

Explanation:

In the answer.

Which statement about silver Ag metal is least reliable
Anna007 [38]
<span>The choices for this question can be found elsewhere and as follows:

Silver is a transition metal with electrons in the d shell.
Silver atoms have 47 protons in their nuclei.
Silver atoms commonly form ions with a +1 charge.

I think the correct answer is the last option. The least reliable information would be that s</span>ilver atoms commonly form ions with a +1 charge.

A chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions

Explanation:

Common salt (sodium chloride) is one of the best-known ionic compounds. Molecular compounds contain discrete molecules, which are held together by sharing electrons (covalent bonding).
