Answer:

Silver (Ag)

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of copper is shown below;

[Kr]4d10 5s1

We can see that there is only one 5s1 electron. Hence Ag^+ tends to display a pseudo noble gas configuration. This pseudo noble gas configuration explains why silver is prevalent in the +1 oxidation state.

The other transition metals have many stable oxidation states found in nature. Chromium is observed both in +3 and +6 oxidation states. Iron is found in +2 and +3 oxidation states and copper is mostly stable in the +2 oxidation state since the +1 oxidation state readily disproportionate.

Hence silver tends to have only a single ionic charge for reasons aptly stated above.

How does the burning of fossil fuels increase the greenhouse effect answers?

miskamm [114]

The burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas etc... leads to the emmission of carbondioxide which is a green house gas and leads to the increase of heat in the atmosphere. This results in greenhouse effect.

Lewis dot diagram for the Cs1+ ion

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$Cs^+$

Explanation:

Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:

·Cs, because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:

$Cs^+$

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl$

First we have to calculate the moles of $NH_3$ and HCl

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}$

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}$

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_3$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_3$

From this we conclude that, $NH_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = $14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K$

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NH_4Cl$

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of $NH_4Cl$

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of $NH_4Cl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NH_4Cl$

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl$

Molar mass of $NH_4Cl$ = 53.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g$

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of $NH_4Cl$ produced is, 110.7 grams.
