Chlorine is a halogen and all halogens and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomics
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Neon is in group 8/0, which means that it has a full outer shell. Atoms react to get a full outer shell but as neon already has a full outer shell, it doesn't react and stays monatomic.

However, chlorine is in group 7, so it needs 1 more electron to complete its outer shell, two chlorine atom share one electron each with each other so they have full outer shells. This is why chlorine is diatomic.

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
andrezito [222]

The given statement is True.


This is single replacement reaction.

As reactivity decreases down the group,

Iodine is less reactive than Chlorine.  

And so Iodine cannot replace chlorine from FeCl2.

I2 + FeCl2 ---> no reaction (Iodine is less reactive than chlorine)

Which element in period 3 has three times the electronegativity value compared to that of li in period 2
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Elements in period two includes lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

According to periodic trends, the electro negativity values are expected to increase across the period up to fluorine. Hence, as we go right wards, we encounter elements with higher electronegative values.

While lithium has an electronegative value of 1 , the electronegative value of element nitrogen is thrrr times this which is equal to three

How much heat is required to convert 20.0 g of ice at 50.0⁰C to liquid water at 0.0⁰C? The specific heat of ice is 2.06 J/(g∙⁰C)
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

8740 joules are required to convert 20 grams of ice to liquid water.

Explanation:

The amount of heat required (Q), measured in joules, to convert ice at -50.0 ºC to liquid water at 0.0 ºC is the sum of sensible heat associated with ice and latent heat of fussion. That is:

Q = m\cdot [c\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})+L_{f}] (1)

Where:

m - Mass, measured in grams.

c - Specific heat of ice, measured in joules per gram-degree Celsius.

T_{o}, T_{f} - Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius.

L_{f} - Latent heat of fussion, measured in joules per gram.

If we know that m = 20\,g, c = 2.06\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C}, T_{f} = 0\,^{\circ}C, T_{o} = -50\,^{\circ}C and L_{f} = 334\,\frac{J}{g }, then the amount of heat is:

Q = (20\,g)\cdot \left\{\left(2.06\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot [0\,^{\circ}C-(-50\,^{\circ}C)]+334\,\frac{J}{g} \right\}

Q = 8740\,J

8740 joules are required to convert 20 grams of ice to liquid water.
