Chemistry

kvv77 [185]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\boxed{\text{170.0 g P}} 

Explanation:

The formula of calcium nitride is Ca₃P₂.

The masses of each element are:

\begin{array}{lrcr}\text{3Ca:} & 3 \times 40.08&=& \text{120.24 u}\\\text{2P:} & 2\times 30.97&=& \text{61.94 u}\\& \text{TOTAL} & = & \text{182.18 u}\\\end{array}

So, there are 61.94 g of P in 182.18 g of Ca₃P₂.

In 500 g of Ca₃P₂:

\text{Mass of P} = \text{500.0 g Ca$_{3}$P$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{61.94 g P}}{\text{182.18 g Ca$_{3}$P$_{2}$}} = \text{170.0 g P}

There are \boxed{\textbf{170.0 g P}} in 500.0 g of Ca₃P₂.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accepted a proton from HCl

Explanation:

When properly written, the equation box the reaction is given as; HCl(aq) + H2O(l) ----> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq).

According to Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and bases, an acid donates protons while a base accepts protons.

Water molecule acts as a base in the reaction because it accepted a proton from HCl in the reaction above.

Propose a mechanism for the following reaction.
raketka [301]
First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.

State the relationship between electron configuration and location of an element in the period table
inn [45]

Answer:

elements in same group have same valence electron.

period of element is equal to valence shell

Explanation:

if the elements are in a same group then they will be having same number of valence electron.

the period of an element in periodic table is equal to the valence shell of the element. that is if the valence electron are in 3 rd shell then the element will be in third period.

A single electron configuration can represent multiple atoms. The one below represents the following atoms with different charge
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.

The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.

Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.
