Which atom would tend to lose one valence electron to another another atom in order to become stable?

1 answer:

6 0

Group I or Alkali metal atoms would tend to lose 1 valence electron in order to become more stable and achieve a stable octet or noble has configuration and transfer it to another atom, that would need the valence electron to have a full octet.

What is the percent by volume of a solution formed by mixing 15 mL of hydrochloric acid into water, forming 75 mL of solution?

timama [110]

Answer:

= 17% (v/v)

Explanation:

% by Volume = (Volume HCl / Volume of Solution)100%

= 15ml/(75ml + 15ml) x 100% = 16.66666667% (calculator answer)

= 17% (v/v) 2 sig figs. based on volume values given.

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g) In the reaction above, 0.5487 grams of calcium carbide are completely consumed to

Answer:

239.7mL

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

The balanced chemical equation in this question is as follows:

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

From the equation, 1 mole of CaC2 produces 1 mole of ethylene gas, C2H2.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaC2 = 40 + 12(2)

= 40 + 24

= 64g/mol

mole = 0.5487/64

mole = 0.00857mol of CaC2

Hence, 0.00857mol of CaC2 produced 0.00857mol of C2H2

Based on the information provided, n = 0.00857mol, T = 43°C = 43 + 273 = 316K, p = 0.926 atm

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.00857 × 0.0821 × 316/0.926

V = 0.222/0.926

V = 0.2397L

In mL, volume = 0.2397 × 1000

= 239.7mL

Which of the following trends is indirectly proportional to effective nuclear charge, Zeff

Julli [10]

Answer : Option C) Atomic Size

Explanation : The atomic radius of the elements is found to be decreasing if we go from left to right in the modern periodic table. Accordingly, $Z_{eff}$ increases as the number of shielding electrons present in the atomic nucleus of the periodic elements which lies in the same row remains constant while the number of protons in each atomic shell increases.

The effective nuclear charge $Z_{eff}$ of an atom is defined as the net positive charge which is felt by the valence electron of the atomic element.

When $Z_{eff}$ is observed to decrease, it is seen that the atomic radius grows in size. So, it explains the inverse relationship between both. This phenomenon occurs, because there is more screening of the electrons from the nucleus taking place, which is observed due to decrease the attraction between the electron and the nucleus.
