Answer:

K+ < Cl- < S2- < P3-.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of K is 2,8,8,1. So,K has 19 electrons.Hence,K+ will have 18 electrons.

Similarly,electronic configuration of P is 2,8,5. So,P has 15 electrons.Hence,P^3- will have 18 electrons .

Similarly,electronic configuration of S is 2,8,6. So, S has 16 electrons. Hence,S^2- will have 18 electrons.

Similarly,electronic configuration of Cl is 2,8,7. So,Cl has 17 electrons.Hence,Cl^ 1- will have 18 electrons .

As,all of these species are isoelectronic, so the smallest radius among these will be of that which possesses more amount of +ve charge on it.The reason is that a species having +ve charge on it will be effectively able to attract the outermost valence electrons to the nucleus.

Hence,the order of increasing order of radii is as follows:

K+ < Cl- < S2- < P3-.

When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3) is heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which is r

butalik [34]

Answer:

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

Explanation:

Step 1: Balance the equation

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + CO2 + H20

For 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed, there is produced 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O.

Step 2: calculating moles of CO2

mass of Co2 = 20.5g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mole

moles of CO2 = 20.5 / 44.01 = 0.4658 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of NaHCO3

Since we have for 1 mole CO2 produced, there is 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed.

To calculate number of moles of NaHCO3, we have to multiply the number of moles of CO2, by 2.

⇒ 0.4658 x2 = 0.9316 moles

Step 4: Calculating the mass of NaHCO3

mass of NaHCO3 = moles of NaHCO3 x Molar mass of NaHCO3

mass = 0.9316 moles x 84g/ mole = 78.25g NaHCO3

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin pla

RSB [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy change of the reaction is -27. kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 25.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{25.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 25.0mL)=25g$

To calculate the heat released by the reaction, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where,

q = heat released

m = Total mass = [1.25 + 25] = 26.25 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(21.9-25.8)^oC=-3.9^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=26.25g\tiimes 4.18J/g^oC\times (-3.9^oC)=-427.9J=-0.428kJ$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of ammonium nitrate = 1.25 g

Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonium nitrate}=\frac{1.25g}{80g/mol}=0.0156mol$

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = -0.428 kJ

n = number of moles = 0.0156 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-0.428kJ}{0.0156mol}=-27.44kJ/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -27. kJ/mol

If 25.8 grams of BaO dissolve in enough water to make a 212-gram solution, what is the percent by mass of the solution?

Igoryamba

The correct answer is 12.2% BaO.

The solution is found by dividing the mass of the BaO, which is 25.8 grams, by the total mass of the solution, which is 212 grams, then multiplying it by 100 to get the percentage:
$\frac{25.8}{212}*(100) =12.2%$
