Answer:

(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.

Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.

(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.

(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.

(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in . <em>different Periods.</em>

Chose the statements that are TRUE from the list below Group of answer choices Ions exist alone in nature We add calcium carbona
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The first option is false, since limestone has a much more acidic pH than granite. The pH of limestone is between 3.5 and 5.0, while the pH of granite is generally around 4.8 and 5.6.

The second option is false. (Traditionally, lactic acidosis has been classified into two categories: type A and type B. Type A is the result of tissue hypoxia and type B occurs with normal tissue perfusion and a adequate global tissue oxygenation)

The third option is false.

In the fourth option we consider that it is true since the hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid. Hydrogen fluoride actually does dissolve quite freely in water, but the H 3 O + and F - ions are strongly attracted to each other and form the strongly bonded pair, H 3 O + · F -

Explanation:

The third option is considered false since the salts contain an acid and a basic part, where one works as an anion and the other as a cation against dissolution, that is why they are not one or the other, but both chemical characteristics make up the Salt.

There are more or less soluble salts than others, and in turn there are binary, quaternary, tertiary or simple salts.

Y como para contribuir más a la explicación, es importante recordar el grupo de los acidos se clasifica en dons grandes familias, en acidos debiles y fuertes.

Un alcalde ph mas debiles seran, por más tiempo cercano al valor ph: 7 esten menos acidificacion tendran, y cuanto más lejos de la neutralidad este es su numero de ph mas fuertes seran.

Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water.
Marrrta [24]

Hello, this question is incomplete. The complete question would be:

"Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction.

Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water"

Answer:

Fe2O3 + 3 H2 = 2 Fe + 3 H2O

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the structure of atoms as chemical elements is unchanged. Atoms in one element do not become atoms in another element. There is also no loss or creation of new atoms. The number of atoms of the reagents must be equal to the number of atoms of the products. When this happens, we say that the chemical equation is balanced.

For this reason, we can state that the balanced chemical reaction where solid iron (III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water would be:

<em>Fe2O3 + 3 H2 = 2 Fe + 3 H2O </em>

Balance the equation.<br>P + 02 --&gt; P4O10​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

4P + 5O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

P + O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

The above equation can be balance as illustrated below:

P + O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

There are 4 atoms of P on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by 4 in front of P as shown below:

4P + O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

There are 10 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atoms on the left side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of O₂ as shown below:

4P + 5O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

Now the equation is balanced.

Permanganate ion reacts in basic solution with oxalate ion to form carbonate ion and solid manganese dioxide. Balance the skelet
saw5 [17]

Answer:

2MnO4^- (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq)

Explanation:

First, write the half equations for the reduction of MnO4^- and the oxidation of C2O4^2- respectively. Balance it.

Reduction requires H+ ions and e- and gives out water, vice versa for oxidation.

Reduction:

MnO4^- (aq) + 4H^+ (aq) + 3e- ---> MnO2(s) + 2H2O (l)

Oxidation:

C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) ---> 2CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq) + 2e-

Balance the no. of electrons on both equations so that electrons can be eliminated. we can do so by multiplying the reduction eq by 2, and oxidation eq by 3.

2MnO4^- (aq) + 8H^+ (aq) + 6e- ---> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O (l)

3C2O4^2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) ---> 6CO3^2 -(aq) + 12H^+ (aq) + 6e-

Now combine both equations and eliminate repeating H+ and H2O.

2MnO4^- (aq) + 8H^+ (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O (l) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 12H^+ (aq)

turns into:

2MnO4^- (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq)
