If 3.289 x 10^23 atoms of potassium react with excess water, how many grams of hydrogen gas would be produced?

Chemistry

GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced is 0.551 grams

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Number of atoms of potassium, aₙ = 3.289 × 10²³ atoms

Chemical equation for the reaction is given as follows;

2K + 2H₂O \rightarrow KOH + H₂

Avogadro's number, N_A, regarding the number of molecules or atom per mole is given s follows;

N_A = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mole

Therefore;

The number of moles of potassium present = 3.289 × 10²³/(6.02 × 10²³) = 0.546 moles

2 moles of potassium produces one mole of hydrogen gas, therefore;

1 moles of potassium produces 1/2 mole of hydrogen gas, and 0.546 moles of potassium will produce 0.546/2 moles of hydrogen which is 0.273 moles of hydrogen gas

The molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2.016 grams

Therefore, 0.273 moles will have a mass of 0.273×2.016 = 0.551 grams.

The amount in grams of hydrogen gas produced = 0.551 grams.

Is selenium tetrafluoride an ionic or covalent bond?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Synthesis

The first reported synthesis of selenium tetrafluoride was by Paul Lebeau in 1907, who treated selenium with fluorine:[1]

Se + 2 F2 → SeF4

A synthesis involving more easily handled reagents entails the fluorination of selenium dioxide with sulfur tetrafluoride:[2]

SF4 + SeO2 → SeF4 + SO2

An intermediate in this reaction is seleninyl fluoride (SeOF2).

Other methods of preparation include fluorinating elemental selenium with chlorine trifluoride:

3 Se + 4 ClF3 → 3 SeF4 + 2 Cl2

Structure and bonding

Selenium in SeF4 has an oxidation state of +4. Its shape in the gaseous phase is similar to that of SF4, having a see-saw shape. VSEPR theory predicts a pseudo-trigonal pyramidal disposition of the five electron pairs around the selenium atom. The axial Se-F bonds are 177 pm with an F-Se-F bond angle of 169.2°. The two other fluorine atoms are attached by shorter bonds (168 pm), with an F-Se-F bond angle of 100.6°. In solution at low concentrations this monomeric structure predominates, but at higher concentrations evidence suggests weak association between SeF4 molecules leading to a distorted octahedral coordination around the selenium atom. In the solid the selenium center also has a distorted octahedral environment.

Reactions

In HF, SeF4 behaves as a weak base, weaker than sulfur tetrafluoride, SF4 (Kb= 2 X 10−2):

SeF4 + HF → SeF3+ + HF2−; (Kb = 4 X 10−4)

Ionic adducts containing the SeF3+ cation are formed with SbF5, AsF5, NbF5, TaF5, and BF3.[3] With caesium fluoride, CsF, the SeF5− anion is formed, which has a square pyramidal structure similar to the isoelectronic chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5 and bromine pentafluoride, BrF5.[4] With 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethylpiperidinium fluoride or 1,2-dimethylpropyltrimethylammonium fluoride, the SeF62− anion is formed. This has a distorted octahedral shape which contrasts to the regular octahedral shape of the analogous SeCl62−. [5]

How would you expect a positive particle approaching another positive particle to behave?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

They would produce a repulsive force to another

Explanation:

A positive particle approaching another positive particle will repulse it.

According to coulomb's law "like charges repel one another and unlike charges attract".

A charge is an intrinsic property of any matter.

When like charges e.g positive and positive or negative and negative charges are in the vicinity of one another, they repel each other.

When unlike charges; positive and negative are brought together, they simply attract one another.

Therefore, we expect that a positive particle approaching another positive particle will repel one another.
