Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Iodine }}$

Explanation:

Atomic radius is the measurement from the nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud.

As you go down a group (vertically) the atomic radius increases because more electron shells are added. As you go across a period horizontally, the atomic radius decreases.

If we look at the halogens group (17), we see they follow this order from top to bottom:

F - Fluorine

Cl - Chlorine

Br - Bromine

I - Iodine

Since it increases down the group, iodine must have the largest atomic radius.

4 moles of hydrogen react with 5 moles of oxygen to form water, identify the excess reagent?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Excess Reagent = oxygen

Explanation:

Limiting reagent: The substance that is totally consumed when the reaction is completed.

Excess reagent: The substance left after the limiting reagent is consumed completely

The balanced chemical equation for formation of water is as follow:

$2H_{2}+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O$

This means when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen, 2 moles of water is produced.

Hence the ratio in which hydrogen and oxygen gas reacts is 2:1

Now if 2 mole hydrogen require 1 mole of oxygen ,then 4 mole hydrogen need 2 mole of oxygen.

$H_{2}:O_{2}=2:1$

$H_{2}:O_{2}=4:2$

Here 5 mole of oxygen is reacting but only 2 mole is required .

Oxygen is in excess.

lara [203]

Tungsten is used in light bulbs because of its high melting point.

It is also used because it has the lowest vapor pressure and greatest tensile strength.

A fossilized leaf contains 24% of its normal amount of carbon 14. how old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? use 5600 years as

sergij07 [2.7K]

The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years.
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24%
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
n = log 0.24/log 0.5
= 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
= 11529.8
≈ 11529 years

What is the total number of oxygen atoms represented in the formula na2c03.10h2o?

Wewaii [24]

As per the given chemical formula- Na2CO3.10H2O, one mole of the chemical compound contains 13 moles of oxygen atoms. Hence

Number of moles of oxygen atoms in one mole of Na2CO3.10H2O = 13

number of moles of oxygen atoms in 0.2 moles of Na2CO3.10H2O = 13 X 0.2 = 2.6

Now, one mole of a substance contains 6.022 X 10^23 particles of the substance. Thus

number of atoms of oxygen in one mole of oxygen atom = 6.022 X 10^23

number of moles of oxygen atoms in 2.6 moles of oxygen atoms = 2.6 X 6.022 X 10^23 = 15.657 X 10^23

= 1.566 X 10^24

Thus, there are 1.566 X 10^24 atoms of oxygen in 0.2 moles of Na2CO3.10H2O.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO

Lena [83]

Answer: a) $Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$ : Decomposition

b) $NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$ : double displacement

c) $CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ : Synthesis (Combination)

d) $ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$ : redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

$Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

$NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

$ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$
