Answer:

Option D ( $NaNO_3$ )

Explanation:

Acids react with metal to form salt and hydrogen gas.

Metals which are more reactive than hydrogen evolve hydrogen gas on reaction with acid.

For example:

Magnesium reacts with hydrogen chloride to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen.

2HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Al and Zn are more reactive than hydrogen, therefore, these metals evolve hydrogen gas on reaction with acid.

$NaNO_3$ reacts with HCl to form NaCl and nitric oxide.

$HCl+NaNO_3 \rightarrow NaCl+HNO_3$

$K_2CO_3$ reacts with HCl to form potassium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.

$HCl+K_2CO_3 \rightarrow KCl+CO_2+H_2O$

As reaction of $NaNO_3$ does not evolve any gas, therefore, the correct option is D.

How many moles of SnF₂ will be produced along with 48 grams of H₂? *

KIM [24]

Answer: 24 moles of $SnF_2$ are produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

${\text{Moles of} H_2}=\frac{48g}{2g/mol}=24moles$

$Sn+2HF\rightarrow SnF_2+H_2$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $H_2$ is accompanied with = 1 mole of $SnF_2$

Thus 24 moles of $H_2$ is accompanied with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 24=24moles$ of $SnF_2$

Thus 24 moles of $SnF_2$ are produced.

How much energy is lost to condense 300. grams of steam at 100.C?

True [87]

Energy lost to condense = 803.4 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Condensation of steam through 2 stages:

1. phase change(steam to water)

2. cool down(100 to 0 C)

1. phase change(condensation)

Lv==latent heat of vaporization for water=2260 J/g

$\tt Q=300\times 2260=678000~J$

2. cool down

c=specific heat for water=4.18 J/g C

$\tt Q=300\times 4.18\times (100-0)=125400$

Total heat =

$\tt 678000+125400=803400~J$

In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.

diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.
