kvv77 [185]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

carbon and silicon

Explanation:

Various groups of elements in the periodic table have different outermost shell electron configurations. Actually, elements are classified into groups on the basis of the number of electrons on the outermost shell of those elements. All elements with the same number of electrons on their outermost shell belong to the same group in the periodic table.

For elements in group 14, they all have four electrons on their outermost shell. Their general outer electron configuration is ns2 np2 as shown in the question. Two prominent members of this group are carbon and silicon. This ns2 np2 is the ground state outer electron configuration of all group 14 elements in the periodic table.

If a container were to have 24 molecules of C5H12 and 24 molecules of O2 initially, how many total molecules (reactants plus pro
frutty [35]

Answer:

81 molecules

Explanation:

The reaction between C5H12 and O2 is a combustion reaction and is represented by the following equation;

C5H12 + 8O2 --> 5CO2 + 6H2O

The ratio of C5H12 to O2 from the above equation is 1 : 8.

Aplying the conditins of the question; 24 molecules each of C5H12 and O2 we have;

3C5H12 + 24O2 --> 15CO2 + 18H2O

This means we have 24 - 3 = 21 molecules of C5H12 that are unreacted.

Total molecules is given as;

3(C5H12) + 24(O2) + 15(CO2) + 18(H2O) + 21(Unreacted C5H12) = 81 molecules

A 250-ml sample of na2so4 is reacted with an excess of bacl2. if 5.28 g baso4 is precipitated, what is the molarity of the na2so
Oksanka [162]
To get the molarity you need to follow this equation
                       moles of solute
Molarity (M = -----------------------
                        Liters of solution

But before you apply that equation you need to find the moles of solute and the liters of solution. Follow this equation

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 = BaSO4 + 2 NaCl

Solution

Moles of BaSO4 = 5.28 g 
                               ---------------
                                233.43 g / mol
                             =  0.0226  moles
Moles of NaSO4 = 0.0226 
                  0.0226 mole
Molarity = -----------------
                  0.250 L
              =  0.0905 mol / L

So the answer is 0.0905 mol / L

Which statement is correct about the rate of chemical reactions?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

It increases when a catalyst is added.

Explanation:

The following factors control reaction rates:

1. Nature of reactants

2. Concentration of the reactants or pressure of gaseous

3. Temperature

4. Presence of catalyst

5. Sunlight

The addition of a foreign body to a reaction may influence the speed of the reaction. If a foreign body increases the rate of reaction, it is a called a positive catalyst or simply a catalyst. A negative catalyst is called an inhibitor.

A catalyst is a substance that is introduced into a chemical reaction to change the rate of the reaction without itself being affected at the end of the reaction.

Catalysts helps to reduce reaction time of many slow reactions. Most catalysts are specific in their actions and works on certain reactions or substrates.

Temperature change has a considerable effect on reaction rates since temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of reacting particles. Generally, reaction rate varies as temperature directly.

The barium isotope 133ba has a half-life of 10.5 years. a sample begins with 1.1×1010 133ba atoms. how many are left after (a) 5
Sladkaya [172]
<span>a) 7.9x10^9 b) 1.5x10^9 c) 3.9x10^4 To determine what percentage of an isotope remains after a given length of time, you can use the formula p = 2^(-x) where p = percentage remaining x = number of half lives expired. The number of half lives expired is simply x = t/h where x = number of half lives expired t = time spent h = length of half life. So the overall formula becomes p = 2^(-t/h) And since we're starting with 1.1x10^10 atoms, we can simply multiply that by the percentage. So, the answers rounding to 2 significant figures are: a) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-5/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.718873349 = 7.9x10^9 b) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-30/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.138011189 = 1.5x10^9 c) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-190/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 3.57101x10^-6 = 3.9x10^4</span>
