Natasha_Volkova [10]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u> The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.

Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6

These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.

Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.

The reaction is not balanced

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms in the compound that reacts (the reactants and products) will have the same number

Reactants : Fe(s)+O₂(g)

Fe = 2 atoms

O = 3 x 2 = 6 atoms

Products : Fe₂O₃(s)

Fe = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms

O = 2 x 3 = 6 atoms

The reaction is not balanced because the number of Fe atoms is not the same

The balanced reaction should be:

4Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)

2 C4H10 + 13 O2--&gt; 8 CO2 + 10 H2O
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

Explanation:

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ --> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

To find the number of CO₂ molecules, you need to start with 100 grams of butane (C₄H₁₀), convert to moles (using the molar mass), convert to moles of CO₂ (using coefficients from equation), then convert to molecules (using Avagadro's number). The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is calculated using the quantity of each element (subscript) multiplied by the number on the periodic table. The ratios should be arranged in a way that allows for units to be cancelled.

4(12.011g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) = 58.124 g/mol C₄H₁₀

100 grams C₄H₁₀          1 mol C₄H₁₀             8 mol CO₂          
--------------------------  x  ----------------------  x  ---------------------  
                                        58.124 g              2 mol C₄H₁₀          

    6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------------------------  =  4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
              1 mol CO₂
