Answer:

a) O2 is the limiting reactant

b) 5.75 grams P4O10

c) 5.79 grams P4O6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of P4 = 5.77 grams

Mass of O2 = 5.77 grams

Molar mass of P4 = 123.90 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

P4 + 3O2 → P4O6

Step 3: Calculate moles of P4

Moles P4 = mass P4 / molar mass P4

Moles P4 = 5.77 grams / 123.90 g/mol

Moles P4 = 0.0466 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = mass O2 / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 5.77 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.1803 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

P4 is the limiting reactant in this reaction. It will completely be consumed (0.0466 moles). O2 is in excess, there will react 3*0.0466 = 0.1398 moles

There will remain 0.1803 - 0.1398 = 0.0405 moles O2

Step 6: Calculate the amount of P4O6

For 1 mol P4 we'll have 1 mol P4O6

For 0.0466 moles P4 we'll have 0.0466 moles P4O6

Step 7: The balanced equatio

P4O6 + 2O2 → P4O10

We have 0.0466 moles P4O6 and 0.0405 moles O2

Step 8: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O10

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.0405 moles)

P4O6 is in excess. There will react 0.0405/2 = 0.02025 moles

There will remain 0.0466 - 0.02025 = 0.02635 moles P4O6

This is 0.02635 * 219.88 g/mol = 5.79 grams P4O6

Step 9: Calculate moles and mass of P4O10

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O10

For 0.0405 moles O2 we'll have 0.02025 moles P4O10

This is 0.02025 * 283.89 g/mol = 5.75 grams P4O10

The number of electrons in the outermost principal energy level of a chlorine atom is
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

seven electrons

Explanation:

Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.

The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Abbreviated electronic configuration:

Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵

Properties of chlorine:

1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.

2. its melting point is 172.2 K

3. its boiling point is 238.6 K

4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.

5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.

what is the trend for the size as you go from Be to Mg to Ca? does the atomic size increase, decrease, or remain the same? how w
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

the size of Ca is the greatest ,then Mg is the greater on size than Be

Explanation:

if you make the  electron configuration for each of the elements, what  is the main  difference  u gonna see ?

Be 4   1s2/2s2

Mg 12 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2

Ca 20 1s2 /2s2 2p6/3s2 3p6 3d/4s2

see that all the elements are in the same group but are in different period

u gonna see the last electron valance shell in Ca are too far  from its nucleus but in  Be the last electrons are too close and more attracted to the atom's nucleus , so the size of Ca is the biggest then Mg then Be

There are ________ hydrogen atoms in 25 molecules of c4h4s2.
coldgirl [10]

Answer: 100.


Explanation:


1) The subscripts to the right of each element (symbol) in the chemical formula tells the number of atoms of that element present in one unit formula.


2) The unit formula of C₄H₄S₂ is equal to 1 molecule.


3) Therefore, there are 4 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 sulfur atoms in each molecule of C₄H₄S₂.


4) Then, you just have to multiply the corresponding subscript of the element times the number of molecules (25 in this case) to find the number of atoms of that kind.


5) These are the calculations for each element in the molecule C₄H₄S₂.


i) C: 4 × 25 = 100

ii) H: 4 × 25 = 100

iii) S: 2 × 25 = 50.


6) The question is about H only, so the answer is that there are 100 hydrogen atoms in 25 molecules of C₄H₄S₂.
