What does X represent for this transmutation?

Study the reaction. X(s) + 2B(aq)→ X+(aq) + B2(g) Under which circumstances will the reaction rate be highest? A) the solid X is

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Option (A) the solid X is ground to a fine powder.

Explanation:

X(s) + 2B(aq) → X+(aq) + B2(g)

In the reaction above, the rate of the reaction will be highest, when X being a solid is ground to fine powder.

Grounding X to fine powder simply means increasing the surface area of X.

An increase in surface area of reactants will definitely increase the rate of reaction because the particles of the solid will collide with the right orientation and hence speed up the reaction rate.

If phosphorous has 5 valence electrons, how many does sulfur have?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The atomic number for phosphorous is 15, meaning that it has 15 electrons (and protons). The first and second shells would be filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 5 which goes on the third shell, which is also the valence shell, meaning phosphorous has 5 valence electrons.

Since the atomic number of sulfur is 16, the first and second shells are also filled up with 2 and 8 electrons respectively, leaving 6 to be on the third shell, the valence shell. Hence, sulfur has 6 valence electrons.

Elenna [48]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Suppose we now collect hydrogen gas, H₂(g), over water at 21°C in a vessel with total pressure of 743 Torr. If the hydrogen gas is produced by the reaction of aluminum with hydrochloric acid:

$2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq)+3H_2(g)$
