Answer:

The rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given below:

2 K₂Cr₂O₇ + 8 H₂SO₄ + 3 C₂H₆O → 2 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₂SO₄ + 11 H₂O

From the equation of the reaction, 3 moles of C₂H₆O is used when 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ are produced, therefore, the mole ratio of C₂H₆O to Cr₂(SO₄)₃ is 3:2.

The rate of appearance of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ in that particular moment is given 1.64 mol/min. This would than means that C₂H₆O must be used up at a rate which is approximately equal to their mole ratios. Thus,  the rate of of the disappearance of C₂H₆O can be calculated from the mole ratio of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and C₂H₆O.

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 1.64 mol/min of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  * 3 moles of C₂H₆O / 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min of C₂H₆O

Therefore, the rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The atom shown in the image has 2 core electrons.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within an atom. Therefore the total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus in the given specie is 7.

 So;

   We have 2 core electrons

   And 5 valence electrons

The core electrons are the inner orbital electrons.

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons.

What is the resultant pressure if 1.7 mol of ideal gas at 273 K and 2.79 atm in a closed container of constant volume is heated
dedylja [7]

Answer: The resultant pressure is 3.22 atm

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

P\propto T     (At constant volume and number of moles)

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 2.79 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas  = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas  = 273K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 315 K

\frac{2.79}{273}=\frac{P_2}{315}

P_2=3.22atm

Thus the resultant pressure is 3.22 atm

What type of elements generally bond covalently, and how do they satisfy the octet rule?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Covalent, or, elements on the right side of the ladder (on the periodic table). Covalent compounds satisfy the octet rule by sharing electrons.

Answer:

1 ) H2O 2) Hydrogen and oxygen 3) Compound

Explanation:

1) To write a chemical formula, you write the number of molecules of an element (2 hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom, or H2O). The letters represent the element's notation on the periodic table, while the number that follows it represents the number of atoms of that particular element within the compound. If there is no number that follows the letter, there is only one.

2) Letter "H" on the periodic table represents hydrogen, while "O" represents oxygen

3) You can tell that this is a compound because it is made of two or more elements found on the periodic table
