Why do non metallic elements pull electrons from metallic elements so effectively during a reaction?

1 answer:

8 0

Non metallic elements pull electrons from metallic elements so effectively during a reaction because they have a tendency to gain electrons and tend to be small in size.
<span>Non metallic elements have higher electronegativities than metals. The atoms of nonmetals tend to gain electrons in order to acquire a noble gas electron configuration. This gives them a net negative electric charge. </span>

Lead(II) nitrate is added slowly to a solution that is 0.0800 M in Cl− ions. Calculate the concentration of Pb2+ ions (in mol /

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$

this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

Explanation:

$PbCl_2$ ⇄ $Pb^{2+}+2Cl^-$

Precipitation starts when ionic product is greater than solubility product.

Ip>Ksp

Precipitation starts only when solution is supersaturated because solution become supersaturated then it does not stay in this form and precipitation starts itself only solution become saturated.

This usually happens when two solutions containing separate sources of cation and anion are mixed together and here also we are mixing lead (||)nitrate solution(source of lead(||)) into the Cl- solution.

$Ip=[Pb^{2}][2Cl^-]^2=Ksp$

$Ksp=2.4\times 10^{-4}$

lets solubility=S

$[Pb^{2+}] = S$

$[Cl^-]=2S$

$Ksp=[Pb^{2+}]\times [Cl^-]^2$

$Ksp=S \times (2S)^2$

$Ksp=4S^3$

$S=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Ksp}{4} }$

$S=3.9\times 10^{-2}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$ this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

giving the incomplete equation 2N2O5 (g) which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equarion

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The complete question is as follows

Given the incomplete equation: 2 N2O5(g) ==> Which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equation?

A)2 N2(g) + 3 H2(g)

B)2 N2(g) + 2 O2(g)

C)4 NO2(g) + O2(g)

D)4 NO(g) + SO2(g)

The correct option is C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)

Explanation:

Note that the products should be NO2 and O2 since the reactant is entirely made up of N and O. option A is not correct as hydrogen cannot emerge as a product in this reaction. Matter can never be created or be destroyed bu can only change in a chemical reaction. Option D is not also correct for the same reason.

Option B is not correct since it did not balance the number of atoms of O and N in the reactant side of the equation.

The option C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g) is therefore the right option since it balances both the elements and the number of atoms of the elements present.

Describe a Mesosaurus.

ElenaW [278]

Mesosaurus lived in freshwater lakes and ponds. Elongated and slim, it measured about 3.3 feet long. The skull and tail were both long and narrow, and the animal probably undulated through the water as it fed on small crustaceans and other prey with its jaws, which were full of long, thin, pointed teeth.

If the pressure on a gas sample is tripled and the absolute temperature is quadrupled, by what factor will the volume of the sam

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

b. 4/3

Explanation:

Given data

Initial pressure: P₁

Initial volume: V₁

Initial temperature: T₁

Final pressure: P₂ = 3 P₁

Final volume: V₂

Final temperature: T₂ = 4 T₁

We can find by what factor will the volume of the sample change using the combined gas law.

$\frac{P_{1}.V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}.V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{P_{1}.V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{3P_{1}.V_{2}}{4T_{1}}\\V_{1} =\frac{3V_{2}}{4}\\V_{2}=4/3 V_{1}$

Which of the following best describes the changes involved in a fission reaction?

never [62]

The correct answer is this: THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM SPLITS INTO FRAGMENTS, RELEASING A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
Nuclear fission is the process in which the nucleus of a radioactive element split into two different nucleic of smaller sizes of different elements with a large release of energy. Nuclear fission process is usually used to provide energy for electricity generation.
