Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
A pair of elements will most likely form an ionic bond if one is a metal and one is a nonmetal. These types of ionic compounds are composed of monatomic cations and anions. ( K, Cl)...
Answer:
ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Standard Entropy of Fe₂O₃ = 90Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
Standard Entropy of C = 5.7Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
Standard Entropy of Fe = 27.2Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
Standard Entropy of CO = 198Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
To find the entropy change of the reaction, we first write a balanced reaction equation:
Fe₂O₃ + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO
To calculate the entropy change of the reaction we simply use the equation below:
ΔS = ∑S
- ∑S
Therefore:
ΔS = [(2x27.2) + (3x198)] - [(90) + (3x5.7)] = 648.4 - 107.1
ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
Answer:
A
Explanation:
since Mg has a charge of +2 and ClO3 has a charge of 1-, you need 2 ClO3 to cancel out the +2 since 2 ClO3 ions would have a 2- charge
Hey there!:
K = Ka * Kb / Kw
Ka = 1.8*10⁻⁴
Kb = 10⁻¹⁴ / 6.8*10⁻⁴
K = 1.8*10⁻⁴ * ( 10⁻¹⁴/ 6.8*10⁻⁴ ) * ( 1 / 10⁻¹⁴ )
K = = 1.8 / 6.8
K = 0.265
Answer A
Therefore:
K is less than on the forward reaction is not favorable .
Hope That helps!
