Answer:
Elements that belong to the <em>same </em><em>GROUP</em><em> </em>of the periodic table have the most similar chemical properties.
Explanation:
A GROUP in the periodic table is a column of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Since electrons are exchanged/shared during a chemical reaction, then elements with similar valence electrons, will react similarly. Thus elements belonging to the <em>same GROUP</em> are most similar in the way they react.
For example: Sodium and Lithium are group 1 elements while fluorine and chlorine are group 17 elements. In a reaction under normal conditions, Sodium and Lithium will both try to give up their single valence electron to form cations. In doing so they will react more similarly. On the other hand, Fluorine and Chlorine who are more inclined to accept a single electron to form cations react less like the group 1 elements and more like each other.
Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if the equilibrium of a system is disturbed by changing the temperature, pressure or concentration, then it will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.
The given equilibrium is:
A + B ↔ AB
Removal of the reactant A implies that the concentration of A has decreased, therefore the equilibrium will shift in a direction to produce more of A. Thus, it will shift to the left and the rate of the reverse or backward reaction will increase.
Answer:
0.534
Explanation:
Mole fraction can be calculated using the formula:
Mole fraction = number of moles of solute ÷ number of moles of solvent and solute (solution).
In this question, solute is dimethyl ether while the solvent is methanol.
Mole (n) = mass (M) ÷ molar mass (MM)
Mole of solute (dimethyl ether) = 148.5 ÷ 46.07
= 3.22moles.
Mole of solvent (methanol) = 90 ÷ 32.04
= 2.81moles.
Total moles of solute and solvent = 3.22 + 2.81 = 6.03moles.
Mole fraction of dimethyl ether = number of moles of dimethyl ether ÷ number of moles of solution (dimethyl ether + methanol)
Mole fraction = 3.22/6.03
= 0.534

Answer:</h3>
2Fe(s) + 3H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂(g)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The equation for the reaction between iron metal and sulfuric acid is given by;
Fe(s) + H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂(g)
We are supposed to balance the equation:
What do we mean by balancing a chemical equation?
- Balancing a chemical equations means that we want to make sure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
How is balancing done?
- Balancing of chemical equations is try and error process that is done by putting appropriate coefficients on the reactants and products to equate the number of atoms of each element.
Why are subscripts on the compounds not changed?
- Subscripts in a compound show the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound and therefore can never be altered with because it will distort the chemical compound.
Why is it necessary to balance chemical equations?
- Chemical equations are balanced for them to obey the law of conservation of mass.
- According to this law, the mass of the reactants should be equal to the mass of products, which is achieved through balancing an equation.
What is the required balanced equation?
- The equation given can be balanced by putting the coefficients 2, 3, 1, 3 in that order on the reactants and products.
- Therefore, the balanced chemical equation is;
2Fe(s) + 3H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂(g)
