Answer:

11.58 L of N₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 37.2 g of magnesium. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Mg = 37.2 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Mole of Mg =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of Mg = 37.2 / 24

Mole of Mg = 1.55 moles

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

3Mg + N₂ —> Mg₃N₂

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of Mg reacted with 1 mole of N₂.

Therefore, 1.55 moles of Mg will react with = (1.55 × 1)/3 = 0.517 mole of N₂

Thus, 0.517 mole of N₂ is need for the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of N₂ needed for the reaction as follow:

Recall:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.

1 mole of N₂ occupied 22.4 L at STP.

Therefore, 0.517 mole of N₂ will occupy = 0.517 × 22.4 = 11.58 L at STP

Thus, 11.58 L of N₂ is needed for the reaction.

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.

Neon lamps, is composed of 90.483% of 20ne, 0.271% of 21ne, and 9.253% of 22ne. the 20ne atoms have a mass of 19.992 u, 21ne ato

WITCHER [35]

20.181 u

The average atomic mass of Ne is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,

Avg. at. mass

= (0.904 83× 19.992 u) + (0.002 71 × 20.994) + (0.092 53× 21.991 u)

= 18.0894 u + 0.0569 u + 2.0348 u = 20.181 u
