Uses of noble gases with description please. thanks

1 answer:

6 0

The elements in this group are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are monatomic gases. ... They are extremely rare in nature, and none was known until helium was discovered to exist on the sun. In fact, the name of the element helium was derived from the Greek word Helios, used to refer to the sun.

An elastic cord can be stretched to its elastic limit by a load of 2N.If a 35cm length of the cord is extended 0.6cm by a force

Levart [38]

Explanation:

$from \: hookes \: law \\ F = k.e \\ but \: e = 0.6 \: cm \\ 2 = k \times 0.6 \\ k = 3.33 \\ when \:F \: is \: 2.5 \\ 2.5 = 3.33 \times e {}^{.} \\ {e}^{. } = 0.75 \: cm \\ new \: length = 35 - {e}^{.} \\ = 35 - 0.75 \\ = 34.25 \: cm$

Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses

DENIUS [597]

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)
