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.

A 3.82-g sample of magnesium nitride is reacted with 7.73 g of water. mg3n2 (s) + 3 h2o (â) â 2 nh3 (g) + 3 mgo (s) the yield of
horrorfan [7]
The reaction is properly written as

Mg₃N₂ (s) + 3 H₂O (l) --> 2 NH₃<span> (g) + 3 MgO (s) 

Molar mass of Mg</span>₃N₂ = 100.95 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Molar mass of MgO = 40.3 g/mol

Moles Mg₃N₂: 3.82/100.95 = 0.0378
Moles H₂O: 7.73/18 = 0.429 

Theo H₂O required for available Mg₃N₂: 0.0378*3/1 = 0.1134 mol
Hence, the limiting reactant is Mg₃N₂.
Thus,

Theoretical Yield = 0.0378 mol Mg₃N₂ * 3 mol MgO/Mg₃N₂ * 40.3 g/mol
Theo Yield = 4.57 g

Percent Yield = Actual Yield/Theo Yield * 100
Percent Yield = 3.60 g/4.57 g * 100 =<em> 78.77%</em>

PLZ HELP IM CONFUSED
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

9.1 mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)

According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).

To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol

mole = 36.7/2.02

mole = 18.17mol

This means that if;

2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH

18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;

18.17 × 1 / 2

= 18.17/2

= 9.085

Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).

Rank the following in terms of decreasing miscibility in C₈H₁₈ (octane), a major component of gasoline:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

In order of decreasing miscibility

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

Explanation:

The solubility of a solid is a measure of its ability to dissolve in a liquid while for liquids,  the miscibility is a measure of thhe liquid to mix with anoyjer liquid resulting in a soltion which can hold any amount of either liquids. Immiscible liquids are those that are not soluble or have very limited solibility with each other.

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

In the order of decreasing miscibility as like dissolve like, ability to dissociate and polar and organic characteristics are considered

Describe the valence electrons in nitrogen and how it could bond to other atoms.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Each nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are bonded by a triple covalent bond. This is a direct consequence of the fact that each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons. Each atom can thus complete its octet by sharing three electrons.

What is the molar concentration of hydronium ions in a sample of a soft drink that has a ph of 4?
hammer [34]

[H^{+}] value of soft drink is 0.0001mol/l when given pH is 4.

Given:

pH = 4

Needs to find: [H^{+}]

Formula to find: pH=−log_{10} [H^{+}]

We can put the values of pH in above formula as,

pH=−log_{10} [H^{+}]

4 =−log_{10} [H^{+}]

To calculate hydonium ion concentration, formula is as follows;

[H^{+}] = 10^{-pH}

[H^{+}] = 10^{-4} = 0.0001mol/l

[H^{+}] value of soft drink is 0.0001mol/l
