Answer: alkaline earth metals (group-IIA)
Explanation:
The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.
Alkaline earth metals donate 2 valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration.
For example: Berrylium is the first alkaline earth metal with atomic number of 4 and thus has 4 electrons
Electronic configuration of berrylium:
Berrylium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form berrylium cation with +2 charge.
Thus Elements donate 2 electron to produce a cation with a 2+ charge are alkaline earth metals.
Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
Explanation :
Standard formation of reaction : It is a chemical reaction that forms one mole of a substance from its constituent elements in their standard states.
According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.
The formation reaction of will be,
The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,
(1)
(2)
(3)
Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, we get :
(1)
(2)
(3)
The expression for enthalpy of formation of will be,
Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
