Which is less reactive Chlorine or Potassium? Explain your answer. Thx

1 answer:

6 0

The reactivity of the halogens increases the group. This is because chlorine is more reactive than bromine. However, if chlorine is bubbled through potassium bromide solution a displacement reaction occurs.

Why do we need neutrons in the nucleus?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Diamond is a natural form of pure carbon. What number of atoms of carbon are in a 1.00-carat diamond (1.00 carat = 0.200 g)?

slega [8]

Answer:

1.004×10²²

Explanation:

The molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol

which means that:

1 mole of carbon atoms has a mass of 12 grams.

Since, diamond is a allotrope of carbon.

Mass of 1.00-carat diamond in grams is:

1.00 carat = 0.200 g

Since, 1 mole of C contains 6.022×10²³ atoms of C

So,

12 grams contains 6.022×10²³ atoms of C

1 gram contains 6.022×10²³/ 12 atoms of C

0.200 gram contains (6.022×10²³/ 12)×0.200 atoms of C

Thus,

1 carat diamond contains 1.004×10²² atoms of C.

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

2. $TiO_2$

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide ( $Sc_2O_3$ ) is an oxide in which $Sc^{3+}$ behaves as cation and $O^{2-}$ behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation $Al^{3+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. $TiO_2$

This is because the charge on the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is greater than that of $Sc^{3+}$ and also the size of the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

Given the balanced chemical equation, SiO2(s) + 4 HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = −184 kJ Determine the mass (in grams) of H

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

mass HF = 150.05 g

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 4HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2H2O(l)

⇒ Q = (ΔH°rxn * mHF) / (mol HF * MwHF )

∴ MwHF = 20.0063 g/mol

∴ mol HF = 4 mol

∴ ΔH°rxn = - 184 KJ

∴ Q = 345 KJ

mass HF ( mHF ):

⇒ mHF = ( Q * mol HF * MwHF ) / ΔH°rxn

⇒ mHF = ( 345 KJ * 4mol HF * 20.0063 g/mol ) / 184 KJ

⇒ mHF = 150.05 g HF
