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-.

If you have a 150-gram sample of CrO3: • How many moles of CrO3 do you have? • How many oxygen atoms do you have? • How many gra

docker41 [41]

Answer :

(a) The moles of $CrO_3$ is, 1.5 moles.

(b) The number of oxygen atoms are, $27.099\times 10^{23}$

(c) The mass of oxygen is, 72 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $CrO_3$ = 150 g

Molar mass of $CrO_3$ = 100 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mole

(a) First we have to calculate the moles of $CrO_3$ .

$\text{Moles of }CrO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }CrO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }CrO_3}=\frac{150g}{100g/mole}=1.5moles$

The moles of $CrO_3$ is, 1.5 moles.

(b) Now we have to calculate the number of oxygen atoms.

In $CrO_3$ , there are 1 atom of chromium and 3 atoms of oxygen.

According to the mole concept,

1 mole of $CrO_3$ contains $3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of oxygen atoms.

So, 1.5 mole of $CrO_3$ contains $1.5\times 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=27.099\times 10^{23}$ number of oxygen atoms.

The number of oxygen atoms are, $27.099\times 10^{23}$

(c) Now we have to calculate the mass of oxygen.

As, 1 mole of $CrO_3$ contains 3 moles of oxygen

So, 1.5 mole of $CrO_3$ contains $1.5\times 3=4.5$ moles of oxygen

$\text{Mass of oxygen}=\text{Moles of oxygen}\times \text{Molar mass of oxygen}$

$\text{Mass of oxygen}=(4.5mole)\times (16g/mole)=72g$

The mass of oxygen is, 72 grams.

What is the most soluble salt of the following set? What is the most soluble salt of the following set?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The solubility product of a solid is the amount of solid dissociates into its respective ions in the solution. Thus more the value of the Ksp, the more is the salt soluble in the solvent.

So, Given that:-

$Sn(OH)_2\ (K_{sp} =1.6\times 10^{-19})$

$Al(OH)_3\ (K_{sp} =1.9\times 10^{-33})$

$AgCN\ (K_{sp} =6.0\times 10^{-17})$

$Fe(OH)_3\ (K_{sp} =2.6\times 10^{-39})$

The salt having highest value of Ksp is AgCN. So, it is most soluble.
