Identify the group number in the periodic table of X, a representative element, in each of the following ionic compounds:
Al2X3
XCO3

and an explanation on how you did it. I want to understand how to do this in the future :')

Answers

Answer 1

In the formation of ionic compound, atoms of different elements that have obtained a nonneutral electrical charge (either due to losing or gaining electrons, creating a charge imbalance between the negatively-charged electrons and the positively-charged protons) are attracted in such a way that their interaction would result in electrical neutrality. Group 4A elements (the "carbon group") are a sort of dividing line: Elements in groups to the left of group 4A (the metallic elements) tend to have atoms that lose electrons during ionization, thus becoming more positive; elements in groups to the right of group 4A (the nonmetallic elements) tend to have atoms that gain electrons during ionization, thus becoming more negative. This is, of course, a broad generalization, but it should suffice in helping to get a big-picture idea of how to approach binary ionic compounds such as Al2X3.

Al, or aluminum, is a metallic element in group 3A, which is to the left of group 4A. A neutral aluminum atom has three valence electrons in its outermost shell. When an aluminum atom loses these three valence electrons (thus gaining a stable, noble gas electron configuration), it becomes a positively-charged aluminum ion, Al³⁺.

Now, let's consider how this aluminum cation (a positively-charged ion) could interact with anions (negatively-charged ions) to form an electrically-neutral compound. The most straightforward interaction would be an ionic bond between Al³⁺ and X³⁻. Why? Because the charges between the one Al³⁺ cation and the one X³⁻ anion are opposite and equal in magnitude; they would thus bond in a 1:1 unit ratio to form an ionic compound with the formula AlX.

But that's not what we have here! In our ionic compound, the Al has a subscript of 2, and the X has a subscript of 3. Here's the trick with ionic compounds: Assuming that our subscripts are all simplified to the lowest whole number, an ion's charge is equivalent in magnitude to the counterion's subscript (the counterion is simply the oppositely-charged ion in a binary ionic compound). The sign of the charge will be positive for the metal ion (which conventionally comes first in the formula unit) and negative for the nonmetal ion. The subscript of X is 3 in Al₂X₃, so the charge number on the Al ion is 3. Al, a metal, forms a positively-charged ion; thus, the Al ion has a 3+ charge.

Let's do the same for X. Al has a subscript of 2, so when the X atom ionizes, its charge must have a number of 2 and be negative, i.e., a 2- charge. Conveniently, the charge on an ion of a main-group and non-transition metal element tells us which group that ion's element is in. That's because the group number of elements in the s- and p-blocks is equal to the number of valence electrons in a neutral atom in that group. A group 1A element's atom has one valence electron; a group 2A element's atom has two valence electrons; and a group 3A element's atom (like an Al atom) has three valence electrons; and so forth.

An ion gains or loses electrons so that its outermost (valence) shell is completely filled. If element X's ion exists in the X²⁻ state, then that means it takes the addition of two electrons to give the X atom a full octet (eight electrons in the valence shell). We can then conclude that a neutral atom of X must have six valence electrons since 8 - 2 = 6. Thus, X is an element in group 6A (or group 16 on the extended periodic table), the chalcogens or "oxygen family."

Indeed, the most common form of the compound aluminum oxide has the formula Al₂O₃. Aluminum also forms an ionic compound with sulfur—another group 6A element—which has the formula Al₂S₃.

---

For XCO3, we must keep in mind that CO₃ as a whole is the counterion to X. The 3 is not the subscript for the CO₃ ion. CO₃, or carbonate, has a 2- charge: it can be written as (CO₃)²⁻. Here, the CO₃ ion as a group has no subscript, which might lead one to think that X must be an element from group 1A. Not so fast! It's critical to know beforehand that the carbonate ion has a 2- charge; if X were indeed a group 1A element, X would have a subscript of 2. But X has no subscript (a subscript of 1). Since the subscripts of ionic compounds are simplified to their lowest whole number ratios, that means that X must have a subscript of 2. Only then would both the subscripts of X and CO₃ be simplified to 1, as we have here. If CO₃ has a subscript of 2, that means that X is an element in group 2A (or group 2), the alkaline earth metals.

Indeed, the group 2A elemental ions magnesium (Mg²⁺) and calcium (Ca²⁺) both ionically bond with the carbonate ion to form magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, respectively; their respective formulae are MgCO3 and CaCO3, the same form as XCO3.

The activation energy Ea for a particular reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol. How
much faster is the reaction at 322 K than at 310.0 K? (R = 8.314 J/mol
•K)

Answers

Answer:

About two times faster.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we need a k2/k1 ratio to figure out the increase in the reaction rate for a chemical process, we need to use the following version of the Arrhenius equation:

[tex]ln(\frac{k_2}{k_1} )=-\frac{Ea}{R}(\frac{1}{T_2} -\frac{1}{T_1} )[/tex]

Thus, we plug in Ea, R and the temperatures to obtain:

[tex]ln(\frac{k_2}{k_1} )=-\frac{50,000J/mol}{8.314J/mol*K}(\frac{1}{322K} -\frac{1}{310.0K} ) \\\\ln(\frac{k_2}{k_1} )=0.723[/tex]

Now, we use exponential to obtain:

[tex]\frac{k_2}{k_1} =exp(0.723)\\\\\frac{k_2}{k_1}=2.1[/tex]

Thus, we infer that the reaction is about two times faster.

Best regards!

We have that at temperature of 325k reaction will be 2.45 times faster than at 310k.

Speed of reaction

Question Parameters:

Generally the Arrhenius  equation  is mathematically given as

[tex]log\frac{k^2}{k^1}=\frac{Ea}{2.303R}(\frac{1/t1}{1/t2})\\\\Therefore\\\\log\frac{k^2}{k^1}=\frac{50e3}{2.3038.314}(\frac{1/310}{1/325})1/k\\\\log\frac{k^2}{k^1}=\frac{2611.35*15}{310*325}\\\\K2=2.45*k1\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, we infer that

At Temperature of 325k reaction will be 2.45 times faster than at 310k.

If I have 21L of gas held at a pressure
of 78atm and a temperature of 900K,
what will be the temperature of the gas
if I decrease the pressure to 45.2atm and
increase the volume to 30.0L?

Answers

Answer:

T2 = 745 K

Explanation:

This is an ideal gas law problem. We can use this formula to find our answer:

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

So we have these given in the problem:

P1 = 78 atm      P2 = 45.2 atm

V1 = 21 L           V2 = 30.0 L

T1 = 900 K        T2 = ?

So we put all of this stuff into the equation and solve for the unknown T2:

[(78 atm)*(21 L)]/(900 K) = [(45.2 atm)*(30.0 L)]/T2

(1638 atm*L)/900 K = (1356 atm*L)/T2

1.82 atm*L/K = (1356 atm*L)/T2

[flip around to put T2 on the numerator and alone]

T2 = (1356 atm*L)/1.82 atm*L/K

[atm*L cancel out to leave us with K]

T2 = 745.0549451

T2 = 745 K

Give a reason for each of the following laboratory practices:
I. KMnO4 solution is not acidified with HNO3 before titration
II.FeSO4 solution is usually prepared fresh when needed
III. Alkali are not stored in glass stoped reagent bottles

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acid commonly used to acidify KMnO4  is H2SO4. The reason why HNO3  is not used is because HNO3  is itself a strong oxidizing agent. HCl is not used because it can react with KMnO4.

FeSO4 solution is usually prepared fresh when needed because if the solution is prepared and left to stand for sometime, FeSO4  is oxidized to Fe2(SO4)3 by air. Fe III does not give the brown ring test.

Alkali are not stored in glass stopped reagent bottles because very strong alkali can cause the stopper to corrode and fuse to the neck of the bottle making it very difficult to open the reagent bottle.

Answer:

a. Zinc is the limiting reactant.

b. [tex]m_{ZnBr_2}^{by\ Zn}=162.61gZnBr_2[/tex]

c. [tex]m_{Br_2}^{leftover}=6.6g[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

a. In this case, when zinc metal reacts with bromine, the following chemical reaction takes place:

[tex]Zn+Br_2\rightarrow ZnBr_2[/tex]

Thus, since zinc and bromine react in a 1:1 mole ratio, we can compute their reacting moles to identify the limiting reactant:

[tex]n_{Zn}=47.2g*\frac{1mol}{65.38g} =0.722molZn\\\\n_{Br_2}=122g*\frac{1mol}{159.8g} =0.763molBr_2[/tex]

Thus, since zinc has the fewest moles we infer it is the limiting reactant.

b. Here, we compute the grams of zinc bromide via both reactants:

[tex]m_{ZnBr_2}^{by\ Zn}=0.722molZn*\frac{1molZnBr_3}{1molZn} *\frac{225.22gZnBr_2}{1molZnBr_2} =162.61gZnBr_2\\\\m_{ZnBr_2}^{by\ Br_2}=0.763molBr_2*\frac{1molZnBr_3}{1molBr_2} *\frac{225.22gZnBr_2}{1molZnBr_2} =171.95gZnBr_2[/tex]

That is why zinc is the limiting reactant, as it yields the fewest moles of zinc bromide product.

c. Here, since just 0.722 mol of bromine would react, we compute the corresponding mass:

[tex]m_{Br_2}^{reacted}=0.722molBr_2*\frac{159.8gBr_2}{1molBr_2} =115.4gBr_2[/tex]

Thus, the leftover of bromine is:

[tex]m_{Br_2}^{leftover}=122g-115.4g\\\\m_{Br_2}^{leftover}=6.6g[/tex]
