Answer:
Elements that belong to the <em>same </em><em>GROUP</em><em> </em>of the periodic table have the most similar chemical properties.
Explanation:
A GROUP in the periodic table is a column of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Since electrons are exchanged/shared during a chemical reaction, then elements with similar valence electrons, will react similarly. Thus elements belonging to the <em>same GROUP</em> are most similar in the way they react.
For example: Sodium and Lithium are group 1 elements while fluorine and chlorine are group 17 elements. In a reaction under normal conditions, Sodium and Lithium will both try to give up their single valence electron to form cations. In doing so they will react more similarly. On the other hand, Fluorine and Chlorine who are more inclined to accept a single electron to form cations react less like the group 1 elements and more like each other.
Ideal Gas law PV=nRT
P- pressure(atm)
V-volume( liter)
R- gas constant
T- temperature(kelvin)
n - number of moles
The problem above can be solved using M1V1=M2V2 where M1 is the concentration of the concentrated, V1 is the volume of the concentrated solution, M2 is the concentration of the Dilute Solution, V2 is the Volume of the dilute solution. Hence,
(3.0 M)(V2)=(250 mL)(1.2M)
V2 (3.0)= 300
V2= 100 mL
Therefore, you need 100 mL of 3.0 M HCl to form a 250 mL of 1.2 M HCl.
