Answer:
The halogens are extremely reactive, whilst the noble gases are mainly inert.
Only some noble gases tend to form compounds, such as xenon and krypton. However, some like helium, almost have no compounds at all.
Noble gases also have octet rule shells, which causes the little reactivity associated with them.
To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds.
Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. Compounds like chlorine and fluorine must be stored carefully, as they will oxidise anything that they can find, just to get one extra electron to get an octet configuration.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Explanation:
For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt
where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.
We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt
- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Answer:
5.2g copper (Cu) => 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)
Explanation:
mole conversions:
grams to moles => divide by formula wt.
moles to grams => multiply by formula wt.
gas volumes to moles => divide volume by 22.4Liters/mole (STP conditions only)
This problem:
mass to moles => divide by formula wt.
mass = 5.2g = 5.2g/63.5g/mole = 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)
Dilution refers to decreasing the ratio of total solution to the reference solution by the addition of other liquids. By adding water to tomato soup, the balance of “tomato soup” molecules decreases from 100% tomato soup, to eventually 1:1 TS and Water (50%), and so on. Chemically, you can observe this as decreasing the concentration of tomato soup in this solution.
