Answer:   Iodine

Explanation:  Cesium is the alkali metal which belongs to the group 1 of the periodic table.

Iodine is the Group 17 element which are known as the Halogens as they are the group of the most electronegative atoms.

Zinc belongs to the Transition metal d block .

Xenon belongs to the Group 18 of noble gases.

The electronic configuration will help us to determine which can gain electron to have a full outermost shell.

Cesium (Cs) = [Xe] 6s1

Zinc (Zn) = [Ar] 3d10 4s2

Iodine(I) =  [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p5

Xenon (Xe) = Kr 4d10 5s2 5p6

Thus Iodine can easily gain one electron to have complete outermost shell.

Iodine has 7 valence electrons. It needs therefore only 1 electron to be stable this is why it is so reactive.

When methane ( CH4 ) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reac
slega [8]
<h2>Answer:</h2>1.33*10^{-2}grams

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The complete balanced equation for the given reaction is expressed as;

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

Given the following parameters

Mass of CH4 = 5.90×10^−3 g = 0.0059grams

Determine the moles of methane

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{0.0059}{16.04} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=0.000368moles \end{gathered}

According to stoichimetry, 1 mole of methane produces 2 moles of water, hence the moles of water required will be:

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of H}_2O=\frac{2}{1}\times0.000368 \\ moles\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736moles \end{gathered}

Determine the mass of water produced

\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of H}_2O=moles\times molar\text{ mass} \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736\times18.02 \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.0133grams=1.33\times10^{-2}grams \end{gathered}

Therefore the mass of water produced from the complete combustion of 5.90×10−3 g of methane is 1.33 * 10^-2grams

How many molecules of manganese (IV) sulfate are there if you are given 542.32g?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

3.47 mol MnSO4

Explanation:

54.94 + 32.07 + (16 × 4) = 151.01g/mol MnSO4

542.32g / 151.01g/mol = 3.47 mol MnSO4

A balloon filled with air has a volume of 4.24 liters at 23.00°c. if the balloon is cooled at constant pressure to 5.00°c, what
UkoKoshka [18]

The new volume if the balloon is cooled at constant pressure is  3.98 L.

Charles's law, states that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature if the pressure remains constant.

The new  volume is calculated using the Charles law formula

                                 V₁ / T₁  = V₂ / T₂

where,

V₁ = The initial volume of air = 4.24 l

T₁ = 23.00 °C into kelvin = 23  +273 =296 K

T₂ = 5.00 °C into kelvin = 5.00 + 273 = 278 K

V₂ = ?

By making  V₂ subject the subject of the formula  by multiplying both sides by T₂

V₂ = ( V₁  × T₂ ) / T₁

V₂ =  (4.24 L  ×  278 K)  / 296 k  

   = 3.98 L

Therefore, the new volume, if the balloon is cooled at constant pressure, is  3.98 L.

An air-filled balloon will contract when chilled and expand when heated. This occurs because the gas that makes up the air within the balloon expands when it is warm and contracts when it is cool.

Rudik [331]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is,

Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2

In the reaction, Reactants are present on the left side of the arrow and products are present on the right side of the arrow.

Reactants are those which takes part in and undergoes change during the reaction.

Products are those which are formed during the reaction.

In the given reaction, zinc react with hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

Therefore, the reactants are zinc and hydrochloric acid.
