Answer:

40 electrons

Explanation:

The element of zirconium (Zr) has an atomic number of 40, which means it has 40 protons and 40 electrons. It also has a molar mass of 91.224 g/mol.

Answer: There will be 131.3 tons of $SO_{2}$ that will be generated.

Explanation : We have the data as 72 tons of $H_{2}S$ , $O_{2}$ is 101 tons and $H_{2}O$ as 38 tons.

Conversion of 1 ton to kg will be approximately 907.2 Kg

We have to convert the given data of tons into kg for all;

So, moles of $H_{2}S$ = (72 tons X 907.2 Kg/ton X 1000 g/Kg) / (34.082 g/ mol) = 1.916 X $10^{6}$ moles

Now, moles of $O_{2}$ = (101 tons X 907.2 Kg/ton X 1000 g/Kg) / (32 g/mol) = 2.80 X $10^{6}$ moles

And, $H_{2}O$ = (38 tons X 907.2 Kg/ton X 1000 g/Kg) / (18.016 g/mol)

= 1.03 X $10^{6}$ moles

Now, we have to calculate the moles of $H_{2}S$

so, 1.916 X $10^{6}$ moles / 2 moles of $H_{2}S$ = 958 X $10^{3}$

Now, for $O_{2}$ ;

So, 2.80 X $10^{6}$ moles / 3 moles of $O_{2}$ = 933.3 X $10^{3}$ moles

Here, we can see that $O_{2}$ is acting as a limiting reactant.

Now, moles of $SO_{2}$ = 2.80 X $10^{6}$ X (2 moles of $SO_{2}$ / 3 moles of $O_{2}$ ) = 1.86 X $10^{6}$

Now converting this into mass,

Mass = Moles X Molar Mass

Mass = 1.86 X $10^{6}$ X (64.066 g/mol X $10^{-3}$ kg/g) X (1 ton / 907.2 Kg)

= 131.3 tons of $SO_{2}$

Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of acidity from left to right, and explain the reason in less than 90 words.

saveliy_v [14]

Explanation:

More is the electronegativity of atoms attached to the alpha carbon atom more will be the attraction of electron towards it. As a result, release of hydrogen ion will be easier.

Therefore, there will be increased in acidity of the compound.

Since, fluorine, chlorine and bromine are all group 17 elements and fluorine is more reactive than chlorine. On the other hand, chlorine is more reactive than bromine.

Hence, ability to attract the electrons towards itself will be maximum in fluorine and least in bromine.

Therefore, decreasing order of acidity of the given compounds is as follows.

$CF_{3}COOH$ > $CCl_{3}COOH$ > $CBr_{3}COOH$ > $CH_{3}COOH$
