The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The table compares the number of electrons in two unknown neutral atoms.

Comparison of Electrons

Atom Number of Electrons

A 9

D 11

Use this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atoms. Which of the following correctly compares the stability of the two atoms?

A. Both are unreactive.

B. Both are highly reactive.

C. A is unreactive and D is reactive.

D. A is reactive and D is unreactive.

Answer:

B. Both are highly reactive.

Explanation:

Atomic number of electrons given is 9 and 11, it means that atom A is fluorine (F) and atom D is Sodium (Na).

In order to gain stability 8 electrons are required in outer shell. So atoms either gain or lose electrons in its outer shell to become more reactive.

Sodium has electronic configuration (2,8,1)  and easily loses one electron and become  (2, 8) which is highly reactive.

Fluorine has electronic configuration (2, 7) and can gain easily an electron and becomes reactive to form (2, 8).

So, both they both attain stability by losing and gaining only one electron.

Hence, they both are highly reactive and the correct option is B.

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.50 L with 3.00 mol of gas at 25 C. with pressure and temperature held constant, what will b
bixtya [17]

Answer:

3.2L

Explanation:

PV=nRT

since pressure and temperature are held constant we have V=nR

R is a constant also,

Thus; \frac{v1}{n1}=\frac{v2}{n2}

v1=1.5L  , n1=3mol, n2=1.4mol

\frac{1.5}{3}=\frac{v2}{1.4}

v2=\frac{1.5}{3}*1.4

v2=3.2L

Using the following thermochemical data, what is the change in enthalpy for the following reaction? Ca(OH)2(aq) + HCl(aq) CaCl2(
sesenic [268]
Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq)------> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l) ΔH-?

CaO(s) + 2HCl(aq)-----> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l),  Δ<span>H = -186 kJ
</span>
CaO(s) + H2O(l) -----> Ca(OH)2(s), Δ<span>H = -65.1 kJ
</span>
1) Ca(OH)2 should be  reactant, so
CaO(s) + H2O(l) -----> Ca(OH)2(s) 
we are going to take as 
 Ca(OH)2(s)---->CaO(s) + H2O(l), and ΔH = 65.1 kJ

2) Add 2 following equations
Ca(OH)2(s)---->CaO(s) + H2O(l),                    and ΔH = 65.1 kJ
<span><u>CaO(s) + 2HCl(aq)-----> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l), and ΔH = -186 kJ</u>

</span>Ca(OH)2(s)+CaO(s) + 2HCl(aq)--->CaO(s) + H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l)

Ca(OH)2(s)+ 2HCl(aq)---> H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l)
By addig these 2 equation, we got the equation that we are needed,
so to find enthalpy of the reaction, we need to add  enthalpies of reactions we added.
ΔH=65.1 - 186 ≈ -121 kJ
