Answer:
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
Explanation:
An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).
We notice the following:
- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell
- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell
This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:
- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell
- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell
Therefore, the correct option is
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
Answer:
2 Na + 1 Cl2 -> 2 NaCl
Explanation:
The answer is really simple, because if you have 1 nonmetal element that has a subscript of 2, you need to multiply the product and the first reactant by 2 to balance it.
<span>First - you need the empirical formula.
So, assume you have 100 g of the compound.
If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each.
54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540
9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077
36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270
Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula.
4.540/2.270 = 2.
9.077/2.270 = 4.
2.270/2.270 =1.
So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O.
Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu.
132/44 = 3.
So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>
Answer:
Please see the complete formt of the question below
Chlorine gas can be made from the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid.
MnO₂(s) + HCl(aq) → MnCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + Cl₂(g)
According to the above reaction, determine the limiting reactant when 5.6 moles of MnO₂ are reacted with 7.5 moles of HCl.
The answer to the above question is
The limiting reactant is the MnO₂
Explanation:
To solve this, we note that one mole of MnO₂ reacts with one mole of HCl to produce one mole of MnCl₂, one mole of H₂O and one mole of Cl₂
Molar mass of MnO₂ = 86.9368 g/mol
Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 5.6 moles of MnO₂ will react with 5.6 moles of HCl to produce 5.6 moles of H₂O and 5.6 moles of Cl₂
However there are 7.5 moles of HCL therefore there will be an extra 7.5-5.6 or 1.9 moles of HCl remaining when the reaction is completed
