What is the significance of metalloids in the periodic table?

1 answer:

grin007 [14]3 years ago

Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are useful in semi-conductors. This property makes metalloids useful in electronic components. Some allotropes of elements show more pronounced metal, metalloid or non-metal behavior than others.

Hope this helps! ;)

the chemical compound C2F4 is used to make PTEE (Teflon). How manyC2F4 molecules are in 485 kilograms of this material?

monitta

Answer:

$molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the Avogadro's number to compute the molecules of C2F4 whose molar mass is 100 g/mol contained in a 485-kg sample as shown below:

$molecules=485kgC_2F_4*\frac{1000gC_2F_4}{1kgC_2F_4} *\frac{1molC_2F_4}{100gC_2F_4}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molecules C_2F_4}{1molC_2F_4} \\\\molecules=2.92x10^{27}moleculesC_2F_4$

Best regards,

Given these reactions, where X represents a generic metal or metalloid 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O(g)ΔH1=−241.8 kJ 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O

Bond [772]

Answer:

ΔH = -793,6 kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔH of this reaction using Hess's law that says you can sum the half-reactions ΔH to obtain the ΔH of the global reaction:

If half-reactions are:

1) H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) ⟶ H₂O(g) ΔH₁ = −241.8 kJ

2) X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ XCl₄(s) ΔH₂ = +356.9 kJ

3) ¹/₂H₂(g) + ¹/₂Cl₂(g) ⟶ HCl(g) ΔH₃ = −92.3 kJ

4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH₄ = −639.1 kJ

5) H₂O(g) ⟶ H₂O(l) ΔH₅ = −44.0 kJ

The sum of (4) + 4×(3) - (2) - 2×(1) - 2×(5) is:

(4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH = −639.1 kJ

+4×(3) 2H₂(g) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ 4HCl(g) ΔH = −369,2 kJ

-(2) XCl₄(s) ⟶ X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ΔH = -356,9 kJ

-2×(1) 2H₂O(g) ⟶ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH = +483,6 kJ

-2×(5) 2H₂O(l) ⟶ 2H₂O(g) ΔH = +88.0 kJ

= <em>XCl₄(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⟶ XO₂(s) + 4HCl(g)</em>

Where ΔH is:

ΔH = -639,1 kJ -369,2 kJ -356,9 kJ +483,6 kJ +88,0 kJ

<em>ΔH = -793,6 kJ</em>

I hope it helps!

Aspirin can be prepared from salicylic acid ( C 7 H 6 O 3 CX7HX6OX3), which has a molar mass of 138.12 g/mol, and acetic anhydri

pychu [463]

Answer: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$ $\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{3.20g}{138.12g/mol}=0.023moles$

mass of acetic anhydride = $density\times volume =1.082g/ml\times 3.71ml=4.01g$

$\text{Moles of acetic anhydride}=\frac{4.01g}{102.04g/mol}=0.039moles$

$C_9H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of salycylic acid require 1 mole of acetic anhydride

Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid require= $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.023=0.023moles$ of acetic anhydride

Thus salycylic acid is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and acetic anhydride is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of salycylic give = 1 mole of aspirin

Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid give = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.023=0.023moles$ of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = $moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.023moles\times 180.15g/mol=4.14g$

Thus theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g
