Answer:

> Octet, in chemistry, the eight-electron arrangement in the outer electron shell of the noble-gas atoms. This structure is held responsible for the relative inertness of the noble gases and the chemical behaviour of certain other elements.

> Referring to the octet rule, atoms attempt to get a noble gas electron configuration, which is eight valence electrons. Sodium has one valence electron, so giving it up would result in the same electron configuration as neon. Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight (an octet).

Explanation:

Octet, in chemistry, the eight-electron arrangement in the outer electron shell of the noble-gas atoms. This structure is held responsible for the relative inertness of the noble gases and the chemical behaviour of certain other elements.

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the reaction of methane with water according to the following equation:

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

60.42% is the percent yield of the reaction.

Explanation:

Moles of methane gas at 734 Torr and a temperature of 25 °C.

Volume of methane gas = V = 26.0 L

Pressure of the methane gas = P = 734 Torr = 0.9542 atm

Temperature of the methane gas = T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Moles of methane gas = n

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9542 atm\times 26.0L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}=1.0135 mol$

Moles of water vapors at 700 Torr and a temperature of 125 °C.

Volume of water vapor = V' = 23.0 L

Pressure of water vapor = P' = 700 Torr = 0.9100 atm

Temperature of water vapor = T' = 125 °C = 398.15 K

Moles of water vapor gas = n'

$P'V'=n'RT'$

$n'=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9100 atm\times 23.0L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 398.15 K}=0.6402 mol$

$CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)\rightarrow CO(g)+3H_2(g)$

According to reaction , 1 mol of methane reacts with 1 mol of water vapor. As we can see that moles of water vapors are in lessor amount which means it is a limiting reagent and formation of hydrogen gas will depend upon moles of water vapors.

According to reaction 1 mol of water vapor gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.6402 moles of water vapor will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.6402 mol=1.9208 mol$ of hydrogen gas

Moles of hydrogen gas obtained theoretically = 1.9208 mol

The reaction produces 26.0 L of hydrogen gas measured at STP.

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Then 26 L of volume of gas will be occupied by:

$\frac{1}{22.4 L}\times 26 L= 1.1607 mol$

Moles of hydrogen gas obtained experimentally = 1.1607 mol

Percentage yield of hydrogen gas of the reaction:

$\frac{Experimental}{Theoretical}\times 100$

$\%=\frac{ 1.1607 mol}{1.9208 mol}\times 100=60.42\%$

60.42% is the percent yield of the reaction.

Osmotic pressure ____.a. occurs only in ionic solutions.b. is lower with 1 M NaCl than 1 M sucrose.c. is created using detergent

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

d. is the hydrostatic pressure produced on the surface of a semi-permeable membrane by osmosis.

Explanation:

Osmosis -

It is the flow of the molecules of solvent from a region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration via a semipermeable membrane , is known as osmosis.

Osmotic pressure -

It refers to the minimum amount of pressure , which is required to be applied to the solution in order to avoid the flow of pure solvent via the semipermeable membrane , is referred to as osmotic pressure.

Or in simple terms ,

Osmotic pressure is the pressure applied to resists the process of osmosis.

Hence ,

From the given options in the question,

The correct option regarding osmotic pressure is d.

Where is neon found in earth? South America? North America?

givi [52]

Neon is usually found in the form of a gas with molecules consisting of a single Neon atom. Neon is a rare gas that is found in the Earth's<span> atmosphere at 1 part in 65,000. I'm not 100% sure but i am pretty sure it is found in both places but more is in South America. Just incase, wait for someone else to answer.</span>

Jonathan claims that since only humans can read, it must be an inherited trait, passed from human parents to their children. Is

Crank

Jonathan is not correct because it has to be a trait that is learned.

So in that case Jonathan has to say that this is not an inherited trait it is learned by most people.
