The answer 1) Oxygen. And another smallest radius is fluorine, because it is the first in the periodic table.
Answer:
1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?
Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.
2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.
Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt
Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)
Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
Explanation:
The given precipitation reaction will be as follows.
Here, AgCl is the precipitate which is formed.
It is known that molarity is the number of moles present in a liter of solution.
Mathematically, Molarity =
It is given that volume is 1.14 L and molarity is 0.269 M. Therefore, calculate number of moles as follows.
Molarity =
0.269 M =
no. of moles = 0.306 mol
As molar mass of AgCl is 143.32 g/mol. Also, relation between number of moles and mass is as follows.
No. of moles =
0.307 mol =
mass = 43.99 g
Thus, we can conclude that mass of precipitate produced is 43.99 g.
H2O
This equation is a double displacement reaction, and it forms H2CO3, which is very unstable and separates into H2O and CO2.
