Answer:

All elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. This made it possible to compare the valence of the alien elements to the valence of elements from our periodic table, and match the alien elements to the correct group. For example, our group 14 elements all have 4 valence electrons, so the alien element with 4 valence electrons had to be part of group 14 also.

Explanation:

Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Explanation:

The first step is:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}$

Second step is:

$P_2O_5_{(g)}+3H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+2P_2O_5_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}+4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Cancelling common species, we get that:

$P_4_{(l)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Explain why the lattice energy of CaSe is approximately 4 times as large as that of KBr. Check all that apply. Check all that ap

Elza [17]

Answer:

According to Coulomb’s law, the Ca and Se ions have 4 times the attractive force (2+ × 2-) than that of the K and Br ions (1+ × 1-).

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law, the attractive force between calcium and selenium ions is four times the attractive force between potassium and bromide ions.

This has something to do with size and magnitude of charge. Calcium ions and selenide ions are smaller and both carry greater charge magnitude than potassium and bromide ions. This paves way for greater electrostatic attraction between them when the distance of the charges apart is minimal. Hence a greater lattice energy.

What type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute?

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization
