Chemistry
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>

Imagine the reaction A + B ⇌ C + D is at equilibrium, where the forward and reverse reactions are at equal rates. What would hap
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Rate of forward reaction will increase.

Explanation:

Effect of change in reaction condition on equilibrium is explained by Le Chatelier's principle. According to this principle,

If an equilibrium condition of a dynamic reversible reaction is disturbed by changing concentration, temperature, pressure, volume, etc,  then reaction will move will in a direction which counteract the change.

In the given reaction,

A + B ⇌ C + D

If concentration of A is increase, then reaction will move in a direction which decreases the concentration of A to reestablish the equilibrium.

As concentration A decreases in forward direction, therefore, rate of forward reaction will increase.

What is the symbol of the ion with 36 electrons and a +2 charge?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

The atomic number of strontium is 38.

It has 38 electrons.

It is alkaline earth metal. It has two valance electrons.

Strontium loses its two electrons and form cation with +2 charge.

Electronic configuration;

Sr₃₈ = [Kr] 5s²

The valance electrons present in 5s are lost by strontium atom and form Sr⁺² cation.

it is yellowish-white metal.

It is highly reactive.

It form salt with halogens.e.g

Sr    +   Br₂    →     SrBr₂

IT react with oxygen and form oxide.

2Sr   +   O₂   →    2SrO

this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,

SrO  + H₂O   →  Sr(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Sr + N₂     →  Sr₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Sr + 2HCl  →  SrCl₂ + H₂
