Alkaline earth metals are metals of group two. They are divalent metals and they have a highly negative reduction potential hence the metals are mostly extracted by electrolysis.
They are highly reactive metals. They react with water but do so less readily than alkali earth metals.
Owing to their high reactivity, they are seldom found free in nature. They always occur in combined state with other highly reactive nonmetals.
The compound's molecular formula is C6H6
Answer:
Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ
Explanation:
Given:
q = –8 kJ [Heat removed]
w = –1 kJ [Work done]
Find:
Change in internal energy (ΔU)
Computation:
Change in internal energy (ΔU) = q + w
Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ + (-1 KJ)
Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ - 1 KJ
Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ
Answer:
0.07 g/s.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass lost = 9.85 g
Time taken = 2 min 30 s
Mean rate =?
Next, we shall convert 2 min 30 s to seconds (s). This can be obtained as follow:
1 min = 60 s
Thus,
2 min = 2 × 60 = 120 s
Therefore,
2 min 30 s = 120 s + 30 s = 150 s
Finally, we shall determine the mean rate of the reaction. This can be obtained as illustrated below:
Mass lost = 9.85 g
Time taken = 150 s
Mean rate =?
Mean rate = mass lost / time taken
Mean rate = 9.85 / 150
Mean rate = 0.07 g/s
Therefore, the mean rate of the reaction is 0.07 g/s
Answer:
H2O> NH3> CH4
Explanation:
According to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), bond angles and repulsion of electron pairs depends on the nature of electron pairs on the central atom of the molecule. Lone pairs cause more repulsion (and distortion of bond angles) than bond pairs). Lone pair- lone pair repulsion is greater than lone pair bond pair repulsion.
Water contains two lone pairs on oxygen hence it experiences the greatest repulsion. Ammonia has only one lone pair on nitrogen hence there is lesser repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs. Methane possess only bond pairs of electrons hence it has the least repulsion.
