Answer:

Determine the total number of valence electrons in the molecule or ion.

Each H atom (group 1) has 1 valence electron, and the O atom (group 16) has 6 valence electrons, for a total of 8 valence electrons

PAP Physical Studies<br><br> How can you remember the periodic table?

siniylev [52]

Break down the table into smaller sections. Memories period by period or if you like by group (like halogens or noble gases).
Just say the elements in order everyday 1-10 then when you get those 11-20 and continued.

Problem Page A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 0.225 times as fast as H2 gas. Write the chemical formula of the g

Tcecarenko [31]

To determine what gas is this, we use Graham's Law of Effusion where it relates the rates of effusion of gases and their molar masses. We do as follows:

r1/r2 = √(M2 / M1)

Let 1 be the the unkown gas and 2 the H2 gas.

r1/r2 = 0.225
M2 = 2.02 g/mol

0.225 = √(2.02 / M1)
M1 = 39.90 g/mol

From the periodic table of elements, most likely, the gas is argon.

The reaction between carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O, to form carbon dioxide, CO2, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, has a

Answer:

High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.

Explanation:

There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.

Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.

Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.

Here, reaction between $CCl_{4}$ and $H_{2}O$ is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
