Neko [114]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The noble gases have 8 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell. In other words, they have full out shells. These elements are highly stable.

A sample of helium has a volume of 50.00 L at STP. How many helium atoms are in the sample? Show work
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

molar volume at STP=22.4 L

given volume=50.0 L

number of moles=given volume/molar volume

number of moles=50.0/22.4

number of moles=2.2

1 mole of helium =6.023*10^23 atoms

2.2 moles of helium =6.023*10^23*2.2=1.3*10^24

therefore 50.0 L of helium contain 1.33*10^24 atoms

The salt formed by the reaction of the weak acid hydrocyanic acid, HCN, with the strong base potassium hydroxide is
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explanation:

The equation for the equilibrium is

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

                    Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10

               KaKb = Kw

4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14

                   Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Now, we can set up an ICE table

                     CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

I/(mol/L)      0.255                     0         0

C/(mol/L)       -x                        +x        +x

E/(mol/L)  0.255 - x                   x         x

Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Check for negligibility

0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255

    x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6

        x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6)    = 2.28 × 10^-3

[OH^-] = x mol/L                     = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 13.2 moles of FeO?
irina [24]

The number of moles of aluminium  that are needed to react completely  with 13.2 moles of FeO  is  8.8 moles



calculation


2Al + 3FeO → 3aFe +Al2O3

by use of of mole ratio of Al: FeO  from  equation above = 2:3 the moles of  Al is  therefore

= 13.2  x  2/3=8.8  moles  of Al
