Which monatomic ions would you expect radium (z = 88) and selenium (z = 34) to form?

2 answers:

6 0

1) Radium will form Ra²⁺ ions, because it is metal with two valence electrons (7s²) and it will lost two electrons to have electric configuration like noble gas radon (Z=86).

Electroic configuration of radium atom:

₈₈Ra 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s²6p⁶7s².

2) Selenium wil form Se²⁻ ions, because it is nonmetal and it has six valence electrons (4s²4p⁴), it will gain two electrons to have electron configuration like noble gas krypton (Z=36).

Electronic configuration of selenium atom: ₃₄Se 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁴.

Radium belongs to 2nd group (Magnesium family) which means it will give +2 ion.
Ra2+

Selenium belongs to Oxygen family which means it will give -2 ion.
Se2-

How many grams of XeF6 are required to react with 0.579 L of hydrogen gas at 6.46 atm and 45°C in the reaction shown below?

ankoles [38]

The chemical reaction equation for this is

XeF6 + 3H2 ---> Xe + 6HF

Assuming gas behaves ideally, we use the ideal gas formula to solve for number of moles H2 with T = 318.15K (45C), P = 6.46 atm, V = 0.579L. Then we use the gas constant R = 0.08206 L atm K-1 mol-1.

we get n = 0.1433 moles H2

to get the mass of XeF6,

we divide 0.1433 moles H2 by 3 since 1 mole XeF6 needs 3 moles H2 to react then multiply by the molecular weight of XeF6 which is 245.28 g/mole XeF6.

0.1433 moles H2 x $\frac{1 mole XeF6}{3 moles H2}$ x $\frac{245.28 g XeF6}{1 mole XeF6}$ = 11.71 g XeF6

Therefore, 11.71 g of XeF6 is needed to completely react with 0.579 L of Hydrogen gas at 45 degrees Celcius and 6.46 atm.

What is meant when it is stated that WATER can ""Ionize"" to a certain extent? What are the products that are formed when water

never [62]

Answer:

Ionization is defined as the process by which the atoms accept or donate electrons and form positively or negatively charged species, called ions.

The ionization of water is known as the self-ionization or autoionization of water. This process involves the deprotonation of a water molecule and protonation of another water molecule to give hydroxide ion and hydronium ion, which exist in the state of chemical equilibrium.

H₂O + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

The pH of pure water is 7, neutral.
