How many dots would a dot diagram for selenium, one of the group 16 elements, have?

Chemistry

vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Because selenium is in the 16th column on the periodic chart, it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, the Lewis structure (or electron dot structure) for selenium has 6 dots around it.

It will look similar to this without the underscores:

__.

. Se:

_. .

1) Why are the antimony and beryllium ions so small? Differentiate between the causes.
Viefleur [7K]
1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.

2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.

How can I balance this equation? ____ KClO3 ---> ____ KCl + ____ O2
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂

Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O

Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.

This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.

However, this equation is still not balanced.

Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O

In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Dinitrogen tetraoxide, N2O4, decomposes to nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in a first-order process. If k = 1.5 x 103 s-1 at 5 ºC and k =
Arada [10]

Answer:

The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol

Explanation:

Using the expression,

\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )

Wherem  

k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1

k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2

E_a is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol  

Thus, given that, E_a = ?

k_2=4.0\times 10^3s^{-1}

k_1=1.5\times 10^3s^{-1}  

T_1=5\ ^0C  

T_2=25\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (5 + 273.15) K = 278.15 K  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

T_1=278.15\ K

T_2=298.15\ K

So,

\ln \frac{1.5\times 10^3}{4.0\times 10^3}\:=-\frac{E_{a}}{8.314}\times \left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)

E_a=-\ln \frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4.0\times \:10^3}\:\times \frac{8.314}{\left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)}

E_a=-\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4\times \:10^3}\right)}{\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}}

E_a=-\frac{689483.53266 \ln \left(\frac{1.5}{4}\right)}{20}

E_a=33813.28\ J/mol

<u>The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol</u>
