Why are the transition metals not isoelectronic with noble gas atoms?

1 answer:

8 0

The atoms and ions that have the similar electron configuration are named isoelectronic. The common ions of representative elements are isoelectronic with a noble gas. When forming ions, transition metals be unable to find their valence s-sublevel electrons before they lose their d-sub level electrons.

Describe the difference between a chemical reaction and a physical change.

GREYUIT [131]

A chemical change results from a chemical reaction, while a physical change is when matter changes forms but not chemical identity.

Examples of chemical changes are burning, cooking, rusting, and rotting.

Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding.

Consider three gases: Ar, SF6, and Cl2. If 50.0 grams of these gases are placed in each of three identical containers, which con

adoni [48]

The ideal gas law:
$pV=nRT \Rightarrow p=\frac{nRT}{V}$
p - pressure, n - number of moles, R - the gas constant, T - temperature, V - volume

The volume and temperature of all three containers are the same, so the pressure depends on the number of moles. The greater the number of moles, the higher the pressure.
The mass of gases is 50 g.

$Ar \\
M \approx 39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\
n=\frac{50 \ g}{39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 1.25 \ mol \\ \\
SF_6 \\
M \approx 146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\
n=\frac{50 \ g}{146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.34 \ mol \\ \\
Cl_2 \\
M=70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\
n=\frac{50 \ g}{70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.71 \ mol$

The greatest number of moles is in the container with Ar, so there is the highest pressure.

What volume of 0.585 m ca(oh)2 would be needed to neutralize 15.8 l of 1.51 m hcl?

SpyIntel [72]

When the balanced reaction equation is:

2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

from the balanced equation, we can get the molar ratio between HCl & Ca(OH)2

2:1

∴ the volume of Ca(OH)2 = 15.8 L HCl * 1.51 m HCl * (1mol Ca(OH)2/ 2mol HCl) * (1L ca(OH)2/0.585 mol Ca(OH)2

= 20.4 L
