Answer:

Helium does not react with any element

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Helium (He) is an element in group 8A of the periodic table, which is a group of element referred to as NOBLE GASES. Other elements in this group are Xenon (Xe), Krypton (Kr), Neon (Ne) etc.

One major characteristics of Helium and other Noble gases that makes them so UNREACTIVE is that they have a full electronic configuration i.e. they have a full electron shell and do not share electrons with any element, which is the basis of REACTING. For this reason, Helium will not react with any element.

112 g of aluminum carbide react with 174 g water to produce methane and aluminum hydroxide in the reaction shown below.

dolphi86 [110]

<u>Answer:</u> 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water

So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = $\frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol$ of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol$

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! NEED THE ANSWER FAST! WILL CHOOSE THE BRAINLIEST!!!

Vlad [161]

Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.

Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.

As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.

The correct answer is B. Br
