Chemistry

Answer:

Li⁺

Explanation:

In ion formation, the ionization energy plays a very important role. To form an ion, an atom will lose or gain an electron to become charged.

The higher the ionization energy of an atom, the more the energy required to remove an electron from it to form an ion.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
It is the readiness of an atom to lose an electron. The lower the value, the easier it is for an atom to lose an electron and vice versa.

Generally, down the group, ionization energy decreases. Since both potassium and lithium are in group 1, Li will have a higher ionization energy. It will take more energy to form Li⁺ compared to K⁺.

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.

nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.

The valence electrons in an atom are the outermost shell electrons. They are the most loosely held electrons in an atom.

Coincidentally, the periodic table of elements divided into vertical groups and horizontal periods can be said to be arranged according to the number of valence electrons.

Atomic numbers are used to arrange elements on the periodic table.
Down a group, the number of electronic shell increases. More electrons are added to new energy levels.
As we move from left to right across a period, the number of electrons in elements increases but electronic shell is the same.
Down a group electronic shell increases but the number of valence electrons are the same.
All elements in Group 1A has just one valence electrons, Group 2A has two valence electrons.........Group 8A has eight valence electrons.
Moving across groups is synonymous to moving from left to right on the periodic table.
Due to this trend, the periodic table is arranged based on the number of valence electrons.

3. explain how you know the number of valence electrons for each group.

The number of valence electrons in a group is the group number:

CS2 (s) + 3 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2 SO2 (g)

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the mentioned reaction is:

CS₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g),

It is clear that 1.0 mole of CS₂ react with 3.0 mole of O₂ to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 2.0 moles of SO₂.

At STP, 3.6 L of H₂ reacts with (?? L) of oxygen gas:

It is known that at STP: every 1.0 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of O₂ represents → 22.4 L.

??? mol of O₂ represents → 3.1 L.

∴ 3.1 L of O₂ represents = (1.0 mol)(3.1 L)/(22.4 L) = 0.1384 mol.

To find the no. of moles of SO₂ produced from 3.1 liters (0.1384 mol) of hydrogen:

Using cross multiplication:

3.0 mol of O₂ produce → 2.0 mol of SO₂, from stichiometry.

0.1384 mol of O₂ produce → ??? mol of SO₂.

∴ The no. of moles of SO₂ = (2.0 mol)(0.1384 mol)/(3.0 mol) = 0.09227 mol.

Again, using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of SO₂ represents → 22.4 L, at STP.

0.09227 mol of SO₂ represents → ??? L.

∴ The no. of liters of SO₂ will be produced = (0.09227 mol)(22.4 L)/(1.0 mol) = 2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.

If 26.2 grams of a pure compound contain 8.77 × 1022 molecules, what is the molecular weight of this compound? Answer in units o

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Mw = 179.845 g/mol

Explanation:

Mw [=] g/mol

∴ w = 26.2 g

∴ 1 mol = 6.02 E23 molecules.......Avogadro's number

⇒N° moles = 8.77 E22 molecules * ( mol / 6.02 E23 molecules ) = 0.146 mol

⇒ Mw = 26.2 g / 0.146 mol = 179.845 g/mol
