Answer:
- <u>The elements that belong to the nitrogen family are nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimonium, bismuth, and moscovium.</u>
Explanation:
<em>Families</em> are group of elements that belong to the same column in the periodic table.
Some families have a well known name. For instance, alkali metals is the family of the elements that belong to the first column: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr (H is an exception, in spite it is in the first column it does not belong to the alkali metals family because it is a nonmetal). Other well known families are alkaline earth metals (column 2), halogens (column 3), and noble gases (column 18).
All the members of a family have the same number of valence electrons, i.e. electrons in the outermost shell.
- <u>Nitrogen</u>, N, is in the column 15; it has 5 valence electrons, because its outer most shell has configurarion ns²np³ (n is 2 because nitrogen is in the second period).
The other members fo this family with the electron configuration of the outermost shell are:
- <u>Phosphorus</u>, P, 3s² 3p³ (third period)
- <u>Arsenic,</u> As, 4s² 4p³ (fourth period)
- <u>Antimonium</u>, Sb, 5s² 5p³ (fith period)
- <u>Bismuth</u>, Bi, 6s² 6p³ (sixth period)
- <u>Moscovium</u>, Mc, 7s² 7p³ (seventh period)
Pretty sure the formula is K2SO4.
Answer:
The carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from power plants each year doesn't have to go into the atmosphere. Researchers are optimistic that within the next decade we will be able to affordably capture CO2 waste and convert it into useful molecules for feedstock, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, or renewable fuels.
You may suppose you have a 0.1 M solution of NH3, from:
NH4Cl + NaOH > NH3 + H2O.
Then you can compute the pH from the concentration of NH3 and its pKb.
The concentration is high enough to use the simplified formula:
[OH] = sqr(Kb*conc)
