What is a radical in chemistry

1 answer:

3 0

Radical, in chemistry, molecule that contains at least one unpaired electron. Most molecules contain even numbers of electrons, and the covalent chemical bonds holding the atoms together within a molecule normally consist of pairs of electrons jointly shared by the atoms linked by the bond.

Which atom in the ground state has the same electron configuration as a calcium ion, Ca2+, in the ground state?(1) Ar(2) K(3) Mg

Irina-Kira [14]

atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles; electrons, protons and neutrons

atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element. In ground state atoms, the number of electrons and protons are the same.

the electronic configuration of Ca in the ground state is

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

when Ca loses its 2 valence electrons, it becomes positively charged and the electronic configuration becomes

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

number of electrons in Ca²⁺ is 18

the atom in the ground state would have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore number of protons are 18. then the atomic number of the element is 18

the atom having an atomic number of 18 is Ar.

the answer is 1) Ar

in a second experiment, the total pressure is observed to be 58 atm. what is the partial pressure of the water vapor produced?

dimulka [17.4K]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Nitroglycerine (C₃H₅N₃O₉) explodes with tremendous force due to the numerous gaseous products. The equation for the explosion of Nitroglycerine is:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

A scientist conducts an experiment to characterize a bomb containing nitroglycerine. She uses a steel, ridge container for the test.

Volume of rigid steel container: 1.00 L

Molar mass of Nitroglycerine: 227 g/mol

Temperature: 300 K

Amount of Nitroglycerine tested: 227 g

Value for ideal gas constant, R: 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

In a second experiment, the total pressure is observed to be 58 atm. what is the partial pressure of the water vapor produced?

Answer : The partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$

$\text{Moles of }C_3H_5N_3O_9=\frac{\text{Given mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}{\text{Molar mass }C_3H_5N_3O_9}=\frac{227g}{227g/mol}=1mol$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2,O_2,N_2\text{ and }H_2O$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$4C_3H_5N_3O_9(l)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+O_2(g)+6N_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 12 moles of $CO_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{12}{4}=3$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 1 moles of $O_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$ moles of $O_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 6 moles of $N_2$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{6}{4}=1.5$ moles of $N_2$

and,

As, 4 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give 10 moles of $H_2O$

So, 1 moles of $C_3H_5N_3O_9$ react to give $\frac{10}{4}=2.5$ moles of $H_2O$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of water.

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }O_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}$

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{2.5}{2.5+3+0.25+1.5}=0.345$

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the water vapor.

According to the Raoult's law,

$p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T$

where,

$p_{H_2O}$ = partial pressure of water vapor gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure of gas = 58 atm

$X_{H_2O}$ = mole fraction of water vapor gas = 0.345

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T$

$p_{H_2O}=0.345\times 58atm=20.01atm$

Therefore, the partial pressure of the water vapor is, 20.01 atm
