Which is more stable: neutral chlorine atoms or chlorine ions? Why?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
lubasha [3.4K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

When we say "chlorine wants to gain one electron", we speak of the radical atom. Chlorine as a free radical, Cl⋅ , is the chlorine atom that we say has 7 valence electrons and wants its 8th to form an octet. So, Cl⋅ , chlorine radical, is less stable, and Cl− , chlorine ion, is more stable

When the pressure on 2.5 liters of oxygen is decreased from 2.0 atm to 1.0 atm, the volume of the gas
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

volume of the gas is 5.0L

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law that state the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to volume of it occupies when temperature is constant, it is possible to write:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

<em>Where P is pressure, V is volume and 1 and 2 are initial and final states.</em>

<em />

If initial volume is 2.5L, initial pressure is 2.0atm and 1.0atm is final pressure, final volume is:

2.0atm*2.5L = 1atm V₂

5.0L = V₂

Thus, <em>volume of the gas is 5.0L</em>.

If eggs are so fragile, how do they actually protect the growing bird?​
Step2247 [10]

Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking.

A roller coaster starts down a hill at 10 m/s. Three seconds later, its speed is 32 m/s. What is the roller coaster’s accelerati
erica [24]
Final velocity(v) = 32 m/s
Initial velocity(u) = 10 m/s

Using kinematic equation v = u + at, 

32 = 10 + a(3)

32-10
---------  = a
    3

a = 22
      ----
       3

a = 7.3 m/s^2.

Hence acceleration of the roller coaster is 7.3 m/s^2.

Hope this helps!!

There are two isotopes of an unknown element, X-19 and X-21. The abundance of X-19 is 14.55%. A weighted average uses the percen
alekssr [168]

Answer:

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Explanation:

The average molar mass is defined as the sum of the molar mass of each isotope times its abundance. For the unknown element X that has 2 isotopes the weighted average is defined as:

X = Mass X-19 * Abundance X-19 + MassX-21 * Abundance X-21

The contribution of the X-19 isotope is its mass (19.00 amu) times its abundance (14.55% = 0.1455). That is:

19.00amu * 0.1455 =

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Cr2o2−7(aq)+i−(aq)→cr3+(aq)+io−3(aq) (acidic solution) express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in
Rashid [163]
<span>Answer: Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either. Start with your 2 half reactions: I- --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ Balance O by adding H2O: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance H by adding H+: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance charge by adding e-: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e- Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give: Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O</span>
