What role does valence electrons play in reactivity for an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.

These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They  determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.

  • Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
  • Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
  • The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
  • Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
  • Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.

Nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia in the Haber process. Calculate (in kJ) the standard enthalpy change ∆H° for the r
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

∆H° rxn = - 93 kJ

Explanation:

Recall that a change in standard in enthalpy, ∆H°, can be calculated from the inventory of the energies, H, of the bonds  broken minus bonds formed (H according to Hess Law.

We need to find in an appropiate reference table the bond energies for all the species in the reactions and then compute the result.

              N₂ (g)   +            3H₂ (g)   ⇒                          2NH₃ (g)

1 N≡N = 1(945 kJ/mol)     3 H-H = 3 (432 kJ/mol)       6 N-H = 6 ( 389 kJ/mol)

∆H° rxn = ∑  H bonds broken  - ∑ H bonds formed

∆H° rxn = [ 1(945 kJ)   + 3 (432 kJ) ] - [ 6 (389 k J]

∆H° rxn = 2,241 kJ -2334 kJ = -93 kJ

be careful when reading values from the reference table since you will find listed N-N bond energy (single bond), but we have instead a triple bond,  N≡N,  we have to use this one .

Given that you started with 28.5 g of K3PO4, how many grams of KNO3 can be<br> produced?
Irina18 [472]

Mass of KNO₃ : = 40.643 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

28.5 g of K₃PO₄

Required

Mass of KNO₃

Solution

Reaction(Balanced equation) :

2K₃PO₄ + 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ = Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6 KNO₃

mol K₃PO₄(MW=212,27 g/mol) :

= mass : MW

= 28.5 : 212,27 g/mol

= 0.134

Mol ratio of K₃PO₄ : KNO₃ = 2 : 6, so mol KNO₃ :

= 6/2 x mol K₃PO₄

= 6/2 x 0.134

= 0.402

Mass of KNO₃ :

= mol x MW KNO₃

= 0.402 x 101,1032 g/mol

= 40.643 g

Consider the following reaction at 298K.
lakkis [162]

The true statements are;

  • K < 0
  • Eocel  < 0

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

We define a redox reaction as one in which a specie is oxidized and another is reduced.

Now;

Eo cell = cell potential = -0.13 V - (+0.34 V) = -0.47 V

n =number of moles of electrons = 2 mole of electrons

K = equilibrium constant

ΔG = change in free energy

Eo cell = 0.0592/n log K

-0.47 =  0.0592/2 log K

log K =  -0.47  * 2/0.0592

K = 1.3 * 10^-16

ΔG = -nFEo cell

ΔG = -(2 * 96500 * -0.47)

ΔG = 90.7kJ

1)
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>C) How much energy was added to the substance to increase molecule motion? </em></u>

Explanation:

<em>The most relevant question to ask regarding this change</em> must take into account the physical knowledge about matter.

When matter changes from<em> liquid </em>state to <em>gaseous</em> state, a physical change called evaporation, the particles (molecules or atoms) of the <em>pure substance </em>will separate from each other, take up more space and move faster.

<em>Condensation</em> is the opposite to evaporation, thus the option A) is not the most relevant question.

<em>The charge of the particles</em> does not change; so the option B) is not relevant at all.

The particles should gain energy from the surroundings to <em>increase</em> their <em>motion</em> (kinetic energy) when they pass from liquid state, where they move slower, to gas state, where they move faster. Hence, the option<em> C), How much energy was added to the substance to increase molecule motion?</em> , is totally relevant.

Since this is an increase in the <em>kinetic energy of the molecules</em>, the option D) is not relevant.
