Answer:

A

Explanation:

Halogens have 7 electrons in their valence shell and requires just one electron to achieve their stable structure. Because of this they have high electron affinity and hence high electronegativity and they are strong oxidizing agents. Oxidation is the loss of electrons . Halogens have a high readiness to take electrons which a metal loses thereby oxidizing it. The other options are wrong as they involve compounds and not the elemental form as stated in the question.

Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.
Ronch [10]

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2

What are the 3 main points of the kinetic molecular theory of gases
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

No energy is gained or lost when molecules collide. The molecules in a gas take up a negligible (able to be ignored) amount of space in relation to the container they occupy. The molecules are in constant, linear motion.

The addition of hydrochloric acid to a silver nitrate solution precipitates silver chloride according to the reaction:
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Enthalpy change for the reaction is -67716 J/mol.

Explanation:

Number of moles of AgNO_{3} in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of AgNO_{3}

= Number of moles of HCl in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of HCl

= \frac{0.100}{1000}\times 50.0 moles

= 0.00500 moles

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of AgNO_{3} reacts with 1 mol of HCl to form 1 mol of AgCl.

So, 0.00500 moles of AgNO_{3} react with 0.00500 moles of HCl to form 0.00500 moles of AgCl

Total volume of solution = (50.0+50.0) mL = 100.0 mL

So, mass of solution = (100.0\times 1.00) g = 100 g

Enthalpy change for the reaction = -(heat released during reaction)/(number of moles of AgCl formed)

= \frac{-m_{solution}\times C_{solution}\times \Delta T_{solution}}{0.00500mol}

= \frac{-100g\times 4.18\frac{J}{g.^{0}\textrm{C}}\times [24.21-23.40]^{0}\textrm{C}}{0.00500mol}

= -67716 J/mol

[m = mass, c = specific heat capacity, \Delta T = change in temperature and negative sign is included as it is an exothermic reaction]

A gas occupies 100.0 mL at a pressure of 780 mm ahh. What is the volume of the gas when it’s pressure is increased to 880 mm Hg
vlabodo [156]
Hello!

The volume of the gas when its pressure is increased to 880 mm Hg is 88,64 mL

This question can be easily answered using the Boyle's Law, which states that as pressure increases, the volume is lower. It can be expressed in a mathematical way as follows:

P_1*V_1=P_2*V_2

So, from this equation we can clear V₂ to find the volume at 880 mm Hg:

V_2= \frac{P_1*V_1}{P_2}= \frac{780 mmHg*100 mL}{880 mmHg}=88,64 mL

Have a nice day!

A balloon filled with helium gas has a volume of 500 mL at a pressure of 1 atm. The balloon is released and reaches an altitude
Rasek [7]
We are using the General gas equation P x V/K = P x V/K
1. P = 1atm V=500ml so PxV= 500 at 6.5km P = 0.5atm V = ? so P xV = 0.5 x V
(We don't have to worry about temperature!) 500 = 0.5 x V so V = 1000ml

2. NO CHANGE in pressure here so we have V/K V=2.75 K = 20 + 273=293 so V/K= 2.75/293
Next set V = 2.46 K = ? so V/K = 2.46/K then 2.75/293= 2.46/K so K=(293/2.75)x2.46
=262 K
Convert back to Celsius 262 - 273 = -11 C
It's raining so I have to rescue the laundry!
Laundry rescued!

3.Now we have to use all three variables. I am using 273K and 100kPa for STP.
P = 100 V = 700 K = 273 These are altered P - unknown, V = 200 K = 273+30=303
!00 x 700/273 = 256.4 this is equal to P x 200/303 = P x 0.66
so P = 256.4/0.66 = 388.48kPa
