Answer:

The unknown element is Sb

Explanation:

The first thing we must note is that the unknown element must be a member of group 15 in the periodic table. This is clear from the fact that the two oxides formed are X2O3 and X2O5. This implies that the unknown element X must have a valency of 3 or 5. This corresponds to our knowledge that the outermost electron configuration of group 15 elements is ns2np3. Hence, group fifteen elements can have a valency of 3 or 5.

The electronic configuration of antimony is; [Kr]4d10 5s2 5p3. This implies that the atom is paramagnetic since there are three unpaired 5p electrons. The oxides of antimony are known to be amphoteric. An ampohoteric oxide reacts with both acid and base, hence the answer.

A solution is formed by mixing 0.400 mol NaOH
leonid [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is m= mol solute kg soivent

Explanation:

Molality is a measure of concentration, which indicates the moles of solute (in this case sodium hydroxide) in 1kg of solvent .

In this case:

0,800 kg water-----0,400 mol NaOH

1 ,000 kg water ---x=(1 ,000 kg water x 0,400 mol NaOH)/0,800 kg water

x=0,5 mol NaOH---> <em>The solution is 0,5 molal (0,5 m)</em>

2) If I have an unknown quantity (# of moles) of gas at a pressure of 32 atm, a volume of 70 L, and a temperature of 25˚C. How m
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

91.5 mol

Explanation:

Volume of gas = 70 L

Temperature = 25°C

Pressure = 32 atm

Moles of gas  = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

25+273.15 = 298.15 K

By putting values,

32 atm × 70 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 298.15 K

2240 atm.L = n ×24.48 atm.L /mol

n = 2240 atm.L / 24.48  atm.L /mol  

n = 91.5 mol
