Why less electro negative elements are taken as central atom​

Chemistry
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share their electrons.

How many grams of sulfur are needed to react completely with 246 g of mercury to form hgs?
iren [92.7K]

The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:

Hg + S ------------- HgS

Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS

The given mass of Hg = 246 g

Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol

# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry,

# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles

Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol

Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g

39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS

The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction
stellarik [79]
The equilibrium constant is found by [product]/[reactant]

If the equilibrium constant is very small, such as 4.20 * 10^-31, then that means at equilibrium there is very little product and a lot of reactant.
And likewise, if there is a lot of product formed, and very little reactant, then the K value will be very large, which tells us that it is predominantly product.

At equilibrium, for any reaction, there will always be some reactant and some product present. There cannot be zero reactant or zero product. Also keep in mind that the equilibrium constant is dependent on temperature.

At equilibrium, for your reaction, it is predominantly reactants.
