Answer:

The most reactive compound is: Phenol because the electron donating character of the alcohol group increases the rate of the reaction.

The least reactive compound is nitrobenzene

because the electron withdrawing character of the nitro group decreases the rate of the reaction.

Explanation:

PHENOL-: Any of a group of organic compounds with a hydroxyl (OH) group bound to a carbon atom in an aromatic ring is known as phenol. The word phenol is also the basic name for its simplest member, monohydroxybenzene (C6H5OH), also known as benzenol or carbolic acid, in addition to being the common name for the entire family.
ELECTRON DONATING CHARACTER-: Via the carbon atom it is bound to, an electron donating group (EDG) has the net effect of increasing electron density in a molecule. EDGs alter a molecule's reactivity by increasing electron density on neighboring carbon atoms: EDGs make nucleophiles stronger.
ALCOHOL GROUP-:Each of a class of organic compounds that have one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups bound to an alkyl group's carbon atom (hydrocarbon chain)is called Alcohol. Alcohols are organic compounds of water $(H_2O)$ in which one of the hydrogen atoms has been substituted by an alkyl group, which in organic structures is usually expressed by R.
NITROBENZENE-:The organic compound nitrobenzene has the chemical formula $(C_6H_5NO_2)$ . It's a pale yellow oil that's insoluble in water and smells like almonds. Greenish-yellow crystals form when it freezes. It is made on a wide scale as a precursor to aniline from benzene. It is sometimes used as a solvent in the laboratory, especially for electrophilic reagents.
ELECTRON WITHDRAWING GROUP-: An electron withdrawing group (EWG) is a type of group that reduces electron density in a molecule by bonding to a carbon atom. EWGs alter a molecule's reactivity by reducing electron density on neighboring carbon atoms.
NITRO GROUP-: The nitro group is one of the most widely used explosophores (functional groups that combine to form a compound explosive). In addition, the nitro group is a heavy electron-withdrawing group. CH bonds alpha (adjacent) to the nitro group may be acidic due to this property.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of $\rm O_2\; (g)$ is larger than that of $\rm H_2\; (g)$ (by a factor of about $16$ .) Therefore, the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ sample is significantly larger than that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample.

Explanation:

The $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles ( $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and $\rm H_2\; (g)$ molecules, respectively.) That is:

$n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ .

Note that the mass of a gas $m$ is different from the number of gas particles $n$ in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of $M$ , then:

$m = n \cdot M$ .

In other words,

$m(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})$ .
$m(\mathrm{H_2}) = n(\mathrm{H_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})$ .

The ratio between the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ by Avogadro's Law:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:

$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Therefore:

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) = 2 \times 15.999 \approx 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .
$M(\mathrm{H_2}) = 2 \times 1.008 \approx 2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Verify whether $\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ :

Left-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{1.43\; \rm g}{0.089\; \rm g} \approx 16.1$ .
Right-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}{2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 15.9$ .

Note that the mass of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.

nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.

The valence electrons in an atom are the outermost shell electrons. They are the most loosely held electrons in an atom.

Coincidentally, the periodic table of elements divided into vertical groups and horizontal periods can be said to be arranged according to the number of valence electrons.

Atomic numbers are used to arrange elements on the periodic table.
Down a group, the number of electronic shell increases. More electrons are added to new energy levels.
As we move from left to right across a period, the number of electrons in elements increases but electronic shell is the same.
Down a group electronic shell increases but the number of valence electrons are the same.
All elements in Group 1A has just one valence electrons, Group 2A has two valence electrons.........Group 8A has eight valence electrons.
Moving across groups is synonymous to moving from left to right on the periodic table.
Due to this trend, the periodic table is arranged based on the number of valence electrons.

3. explain how you know the number of valence electrons for each group.

The number of valence electrons in a group is the group number:
