Is the following true or false every element in the periodic table follows the aufbau principle

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is true that every element in the periodic table follows the Aufbau's principle.

The principle states that "the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".

Sublevels do not fill up in numerical order.
This is true when writing the electronic configuration of all atoms on the periodic table.

The reducing agent in this catalytic hydrogenation reaction was molecular hydrogen (H2), which was produced in situ (in the reac

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise due to the reaction of 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial. b) $4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O$ ⇒ 16 $H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}$ c) No $H_{2}$ was not the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Generally, hydrogenation is the chemical reaction between a compound or element and molecular hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as platinum.

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise 1-Decene solution was added due to the reaction between 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial.

b) $4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O$ ⇒ 16 $H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}$

c) $H_{2}$ was not the limiting reactant based on the mol to mol ratio of $H_{2}$ and decane which is 1:1. Therefore, if 0.8 mol of decane was produced then 0.8 mol of $H_{2}$ would also be produced.

Consider the following reaction: A(g)⇌2B(g). Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the following differe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=0.556 atm$

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=0.00995 atm$

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

$P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=0.9999 atm$

Explanation:

For the reaction

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

$Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}$

The conditions in the system are:

A B

initial 0 1 atm

equilibrium x 1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

$Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}$

Working with this equation:

$x*Kp=(1-2x)^{2} - -> x*Kp=4x^{2}-4x+1- - >4x^{2}-(4+Kp)*x+1=0$

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1

The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:

$x=\frac{-b(+-)*\sqrt{(b^{2}-4ac)}}{2a}$ (equation 1)

We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.

Kp = 1.4

$x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)+\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=1.128$

$x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)-\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=0.2215$

With x1 we get a partial pressure of:

$P_{A}=1.128 atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*1.128 = -1.256 atm$

Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.

With x2 we get:

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.2215 = 0.556 atm$

These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.

We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.

Kp=2*10^-4

X1=0.505

X2=0.495

With x1

$P_{A}=0.505atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.505 = -0.01005 atm$

Not sense.

With x2

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*0.495 = 0.00995 atm$

X2 is the solution for this equation.

Kp=2*10^5

X1=50001

$X2=5*10^{-6}$

With x1

$P_{A}=50001atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*50001=-100001atm$

Not sense.

With x2

$P_{A}= 5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=1-2*5*10^{-6}= 0.9999 atm$

X2 is the solution for this equation.

Why B-Cl bond is polar?

aniked [119]

Answer:

The difference in the electronegativities of chlorine and boron is 3.0 - 2.0 = 1.0 ; the difference in between chlorine and carbon is 3.0 = 2.5 = 0.5 . Consequently, the B-Cl bond is more polar ; the chlorine atom asrries the partial negative charge because it has higher electronegativity .

Explanation:

hope it helps!
