explain how the number of valence electrons in atoms relate to their bonding with other atoms to form molecules ?????

Chemistry
1 answer:
Westkost [7]2 years ago
5 0


valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer shell. there can only be 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons can be used to determine how many bonds are needed.

For example: H2O

O (oxygen) has 6 valence electrons
H (hydrogen) has 1 valence electron

O needs 2 more electrons to be stable
H needs 1 more electron to be stable

O forms one bond with two H atoms to form H2O.

Consider the reaction
SOVA2 [1]

Answer :

(a) The average rate will be:

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s

(b) The average rate will be:

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)\rightarrow 3Br_2(aq)+3H_2O(l)

The expression for rate of reaction :

\text{Rate of disappearance of }Br^-=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }BrO_3^-=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}

\text{Rate of disappearance of }H^+=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }Br_2=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

\text{Rate of formation of }H_2O=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

Thus, the rate of reaction will be:

\text{Rate of reaction}=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

<u>Part (a) :</u>

<u>Given:</u>

\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

As,  

-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

and,

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\times 1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s

<u>Part (b) :</u>

<u>Given:</u>

\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

As,  

-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

and,

-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{3}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=\frac{6}{5}\times 1.56\times 10^{-4}M/s

\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s
