13. How many valence electrons does an atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3

Explanation:

If an atom has 5 electrons, 5 neutrons and 5 protons, it means that the element is Boron. Boron is situated in the third group A, that means that is has 3 elements in its outermost shell.

Also, if we do the electronic configuration:

                                                                         1s² 2s²2p¹

If we count the number of electron in the second level of energy, the result will be:    2 in s and 1 in p  = 3. Those are the valence electrons.

The following reaction is exothermic. C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g)C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g) Predict the effect (shi
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the reaction temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift to the left and decreasing the reaction temperature causes a shift to the right.

Explanation:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ⇌6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

We are told that the forward reaction is exothermic, meaning heat is removed from the reacting substance to the surroundings.

According to Le Chatelier's principle,

1. for an exothermic reaction, on increasing the temperature, there is a shift in equilibrium to the left and formation of the product is favoured.

2. if the temperature of the system is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to right and the formation of the reactants is favoured.

3. if the reaction temperature is kept constant, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to the right nor to the left.

Identify the type of reaction described in the sentence below. then, write a chemical equation. be sure to specify the states of
natulia [17]

Answer : The type of reaction described in the sentence is Synthesis or Combination

Explanation :

The balanced equation for the reaction between Phosphorous and Oxygen gas can be written as

4P (s) + 5O_{2} (g) ------>  P_{4} O_{10}  (s)

From the above equation we can see that there are two different reactants ( P and O₂ ) which are combining with each other to give a single product.

This type of reaction is known as Combination or Synthesis.

A general form of Synthesis reaction is given below.

A + B ---->  AB

Here we can conclude that a synthesis / combination reaction is the one where 2 or more reactants combine together to give only one product .

How do submarine volcanoes affect autotrophic bacteria?
Anarel [89]

Answer:A large number of autotrophic bacteria—bacteria that produce their own food—live near hydrothermal vents and submarine volcanoes.

These bacteria are considered chemosynthetic, meaning they produce food from chemical reactions usually involving carbon dioxide, oxygen, or hydrogen

Ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with nitrogen gas:
sp2606 [1]
B) 40%  
The balanced equation indicates that for every 3 moles of H2 used, 2 moles of NH3 will be produced. So the reaction if it had 100% yield would produce (2.00 / 3) * 2 = 1.333333333 moles of NH3. But only 0.54 moles were produced. So the percent yield is 0.54 / 1.3333 = 0.405 = 40.5%. This is a close enough match to option "b" to be considered correct.

How much nano3 is needed to prepare 225 ml of a 1.55 m solution of nano3?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

= 29.64 g  NaNO3

Explanation:

Molarity is given by the formula;

Molarity = Moles/Volume in liters

Therefore;

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume in liters

                             = 1.55 M × 0.225 L

                             = 0.34875 moles NaNO3

Thus; 0.34875 moles of NaNO3 is needed equivalent to;

   = 0.34875 moles × 84.99 g/mol

   = 29.64 g
