What makes a metal and a non metal most

Chemistry
1 answer:
Katarina [22]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The reactivity of elements in the periodic table is based on the number of electrons in there outermost shell. Elements (metals) that have few electrons in there outermost shell are highly reactive because it is easier to lose fewer number of electrons (in the outermost shell during a reaction) than to lose more electrons in the outermost shell - thus metals that have one electron in there outermost shell are most reactive and are more reactive than those that have two electrons in there outermost shell. Hence, metals in group 1 are the most reactive metals because they all have one electron in there outermost shell.

Non-metals that have fewer electrons to complete there octet configuration are highly reactive because it is easier to gain fewer number of electrons (in the outermost shell during a reaction) than to gain more number of electrons - thus nonmetals that have seven electrons in there outermost shell are more reactive than nonmetals that have six electrons in there outermost shell. Hence, nonmetals in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals because they contain seven electrons and have just one electron left to complete there octet configuration.

Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.6 V.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:

<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.

V₂ = ??? V, ​P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>

A sample of an unknown metal has a mass of 58.932g. it has been heated to 101.00 degrees C, then dropped quickly into 45.20 mL o
yaroslaw [1]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.111 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Mass of the unknown metal sample as 58.932 g
  • Initial temperature of the metal sample as 101°C
  • Final temperature of metal is 23.68 °C
  • Volume of pure water = 45.2 mL

But, density of pure water = 1 g/mL

  • Therefore; mass of pure water is 45.2 g
  • Initial temperature of water = 21°C
  • Final temperature of water is 23.68 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

We are required to determine the specific heat of the metal;

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat gained by pure water</h3>

Q = m × c × ΔT

For water, ΔT = 23.68 °C - 21° C

                       = 2.68 °C

Thus;

Q = 45.2 g × 4.184 J/g°C × 2.68°C

    = 506.833 Joules

<h3>Step 2: Heat released by the unknown metal sample</h3>

We know that, Q =  m × c × ΔT

For the unknown metal, ΔT = 101° C - 23.68 °C

                                              = 77.32°C

Assuming the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is c

Then;

Q = 58.932 g × c × 77.32°C

   = 4556.62c Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal sample</h3>
  • We know that, the heat released by the unknown metal sample is equal to the heat gained by the water.
  • Therefore;

4556.62c Joules = 506.833 Joules

c = 506.833 ÷4556.62

  = 0.111 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.111 J/g°C

How Many Moles Of HCl Need To Be Added To 150.0 ML Of 0.50 M NaZ To Have A Solution With A PH Of 6.50
Aleks04 [339]

The number of mole of HCl needed for the solution is 1.035×10¯³ mole

<h3>How to determine the pKa</h3>

We'll begin by calculating the pKa of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Equilibrium constant (Ka) = 2.3×10¯⁵
  • pKa =?

pKa = –Log Ka

pKa = –Log 2.3×10¯⁵

pKa = 4.64

<h3>How to determine the molarity of HCl </h3>
  • pKa = 4.64
  • pH = 6.5
  • Molarity of salt [NaZ] = 0.5 M
  • Molarity of HCl [HCl] =?

pH = pKa + Log[salt]/[acid]

6.5 = 4.64 + Log[0.5]/[HCl]

Collect like terms

6.5 – 4.64 = Log[0.5]/[HCl]

1.86 = Log[0.5]/[HCl]

Take the anti-log

0.5 / [HCl] = anti-log 1.86

0.5 / [HCl] = 72.44

Cross multiply

0.5 = [HCl] × 72.44

Divide both side by 72.44

[HCl] = 0.5 / 72.4

[HCl] = 0.0069 M

<h3>How to determine the mole of HCl </h3>
  • Molarity of HCl = 0.0069 M
  • Volume = 150 mL = 150 / 1000 = 0.15 L
  • Mole of HCl =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of HCl = 0.0069 × 0.15

Mole of HCl = 1.035×10¯³ mole

<h3>Complete question</h3>

How many moles of HCl need to be added to 150.0 mL of 0.50 M NaZ to have a solution with a pH of 6.50? (Ka of HZ is 2.3 x 10 -5 .) Assume negligible volume of the HCl
