Answer:

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. ... Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.

In a single displacement reaction between Sodium Phosphate and Barium, how much of each product (in grams) will be formed from 1

mixer [17]

Answer:

14.6 g of barium phosphate

3.35 g of sodium metal

Explanation:

2Na3PO4(aq) + 3Ba(s) -------> Ba3(PO4)2(aq) + 6Na(s)

The first step in any such reaction is to but down the balanced reaction equation according to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The two products formed are barium phosphate and sodium metal.

Number of moles of barium corresponding to 10.0g of barium = mass of barium/ molar mass of barium

Molar mass of barium = 137.327 g

Number of moles of barium = 10/137.327

Number of moles of barium = 0.0728 moles

For barium phosphate;

3 moles of barium yields 1 mole of barium phosphate

0.0728 moles yields 0.0728 moles × 1/3 = 0.0243 moles of barium phosphate

Molar mass of barium phosphate = 601.93 g/mol

Therefore mass of barium phosphate = 0.0243 moles × 601.93 g/mol = 14.6 g of barium phosphate

For sodium metal

3 moles of barium yields 6 moles of sodium metal

0.0728 moles of barium yields 0.0728 × 6 / 3 = 0.1456 moles of sodium

Molar mass of sodium metal= 23 gmol-1

Mass of sodium metal= 0.1456g × 23 gmol-1 = 3.35 g of sodium metal

Name the following compound. Group of answer choices 2-methyl-4-pentyne 4-methyl-3-propyl-1-pentyne 3-isopropyl-1-hexyne 1-nonyn

Fynjy0 [20]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached

Answer:

3-isopropyl-1-hexyne

Explanation:

Organic compounds can be named from the structure of the compound. The name reveals the arrangement of atoms and bonds in the molecule.

If we look at the compound in the question, we will notice that the parent chain contains six carbon atoms, the triple bond is located at position 1 and the isopropyl substituent is attached to carbon 3.

Hence the proper name of the compound becomes, 3-isopropyl-1-hexyne.

Find the number of molecules in .815 mole of O2

Simora [160]

Answer:

4.9 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules = ?

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.815 mol

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.815 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol

4.9 × 10²³ molecules
