Answer:
(c) P and Sb
Explanation:
We can determine the number of valence electrons of an element:
- If it belongs to Groups 1 and 2, the number of valence electrons is equal to the number of group and the differential electron occupies the s subshell.
- If it belongs to the groups 13-18, the number of valence electrons is equal to: "Number of group - 10" and the differential electron occupies the p subshell.
Which pair of elements have the same valence electronic configuration of np³?
(a) O and Se. NO. They belong to the group 16 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np⁴.
(b) Ge and Pb. NO. They belong to the group 14 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np².
(c) P and Sb. YES. They belong to the group 15 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np³.
(d) K and Mg. NO. They belong to the groups 1 and 2 and the valence electron configuration is ns¹ and ns².
(e) Al and Ga. NO. They belong to the group 13 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np¹.
Answer:
6.53g of K₂SO₄
Explanation:
Formula of the compound is K₂SO₄
Given parameters:
Volume of K₂SO₄ = 250mL = 250 x 10⁻³L
= 0.25L
Concentration of K₂SO₄ = 0.15M or 0. 15mol/L
Unknown:
Mass of K₂SO₄ =?
Methods:
We use the mole concept to solve this kind of problem.
>>First, we find the number of moles using the expression below:
Number of moles= concentration x volume
Solving for number of moles:
Number of moles = 0.25 x 01.5
= 0.0375mole
>>Secondly, we use the number of moles to find the mass of K₂SO₄ needed. This can be obtained using the expression below:
Mass(g) = number of moles x molar mass
Solving:
To find the molar mass of K₂SO₄, we must know the atomic mass of each element in the compound. This can be obtained using the periodic table.
For:
K = 39g
S = 32g
O = 16g
Molar mass of K₂SO₄ = (39x2) + 32 + (16x4)
= 78 +32 + 64
= 174g/mol
Using the expression:
Mass(g) = number of moles x molar mass
Mass of K₂SO₄ = 0.0375 x 174 = 6.53g
But nitrogen is inert at room temperature whereas chlorine is highly reactive, the reason is: Nitrogen exists as N triple bond N at room temperature while chlorine exists as Cl single bond Cl at room temperature. Since the bond dissociation energy of triple bond is larger than that of single bond.
