Answer:
0.06654345229738384 moles of chromium.
Answer:
The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.
Explanation:
The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.
- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water
-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C
-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C
-ΔT = 66.89 °C
-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C
T initial = 66.89 °C + T final
T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C
T initial = 84.149 °C.
Answer:
In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.
Explanation:
The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.
Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.
As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.
From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.
Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.
Answer: The reactivity of group 7 decreases as we move down the group because:
Explanation:
The elements of group 7 that is fluorine to iodine. The halogens are non metals and they react with metals to gain electrons. The metals loose electrons and the non metal gains it.
As we move down the group the atomic radius gets bigger( more electron and more proton) and as a result the outer shells move further away from the nucleus.
There is more distance between the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nucleus.
Therefore the force of attraction between the shells and nucleus is lesser or weaker.
This makes attracting an extra electron from metals very difficult which results in weaker reaction.
Consequently, the reactivity decreases as we move down the group 7
