valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer shell. there can only be 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons can be used to determine how many bonds are needed.
For example: H2O
O (oxygen) has 6 valence electrons
H (hydrogen) has 1 valence electron
O needs 2 more electrons to be stable
H needs 1 more electron to be stable
O forms one bond with two H atoms to form H2O.
Answer:
Endergonic reaction or nonspontaneous reaction.
Explanation:
Gibbs free energy is a state function that determines the spontaneity or feasibility of the given reversible chemical reaction, at fixed pressure and temperature. It is given by the equation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
Here, ΔG - change in Gibbs free energy
ΔH- The change in enthalpy of reaction
ΔS - The change in entropy
T- Temperature
When the <u>change in the Gibbs free energy for a given reaction is positive</u> (ΔG > 0), then that chemical reaction is known as an endergonic reaction or nonspontaneous reaction.
<span>the balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span> + BaCl</span>₂<span> ----> 2NaCl + BaSO</span>₄
<span>stoichiometry of Na</span>₂<span>SO</span>₄<span> to BaCl</span>₂<span> is 1:1
first we need to find out which the limiting reactant is
limiting reactant is fully used up in the reaction.
number of Na2So4 moles - 0.5 mol number of BaCl2 moles - 60 g / 208 g/mol = 0.288 mol
since molar ratio is 1:1 equal number of moles of both reactants should react with each other
therefore BaCl2 is the limiting reactant and Na2SO4 is in excess. amount of product formed depends on number of limiting reactant present.
stoichiometry of BaCl</span>₂<span> to BaSO</span>₄<span> is 1:1.
therefore number of BaSO4 moles formed - 0.288 mol</span>
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The following reaction does not proceed to form a product: H2O + Au---> no reaction because gold has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it. Hope this answers the question.
