Alisiya [41]3 years ago

The goal of an element is to obtain a noble gas configuration (obtaining a full valence shell). Therefore, certain elements will either gain or lose electrons in order to obtain this full valence shell. In the case of sodium chloride, it is easy for sodium (having one valence electron) to give up its one electron. Chlorine (having seven valence electrons) wants sodium’s electron because it completes its outer shell and chlorine obtains this noble gas configuration. Ionic bonds always involve a transfer of electrons.

Enter a balanced equation for the reaction between aqueous lead (II) nitrite and aqueous lithium chloride to form solid lead (II
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + 2 LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + 2 LiNO₂(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between aqueous lead (II) nitrite and aqueous lithium chloride to form solid lead (II) chloride and aqueous lithium nitrite.

Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + LiNO₂(aq)

This is a double displacement reaction. We will start balancing Cl by multiplying LiCl by 2.

Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + 2 LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + LiNO₂(aq)

Now, we have to balance Li by multiplying LiNO₂ by 2.

Pb(NO₂)₂(aq) + 2 LiCl(aq) ⇒ PbCl₂(s) + 2 LiNO₂(aq)

The equation is now balanced.

How many molecules of XeF6 are formed from 12.9 L of F2 (at 298 K and 2.6 atm) according to 11) the following reaction? Assume t
ddd [48]

Answer:

#Molecules XeF₆ = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.

Explanation:

Given … Excess Xe + 12.9L F₂ @298K & 2.6Atm => ? molecules XeF₆

1. Convert 12.9L 298K & 2.6Atm to STP conditions so 22.4L/mole can be used to determine moles of F₂ used.

=> V(F₂ @ STP) = 12.6L(273K/298K)(2.6Atm/1.0Atm) = 30.7L F₂ @ STP

2. Calculate moles of F₂ used

=> moles F₂ = 30.7L/22.4L/mole = 1.372 mole F₂ used

3. Calculate moles of XeF₆ produced from reaction ratios …

Xe + 3F₂ => XeF₆ => moles of XeF₆ = ⅓(moles F₂) = ⅓(1.372) moles XeF₆ = 0.4572 mole XeF₆

4. Calculate number molecules XeF₆ by multiplying by Avogadro’s Number  (6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

=> #Molecules XeF₆ = 0.4572mole(6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

                                  = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.
