Explain in terms of electron configuration why selenium and sulfur have similar chemical properties

Chemistry

Answer: they have the same chemical properties, because their electronic configuration ends with 6 valence electrons.

Explanation: selenium and sulphur have similar chemical properties because according to their electronic configuration, they both have the same valence electron(6). This valence electron makes them to fall under the same group. Elements in the same group tends to have similarities in their chemical properties.

They are both in the same column on the periodic table and this means they have similar stability. You can use the electron configuration diagram to show how there outer most shells will have the same amount of electrons on them which is another way of describing how they have the same stability and thus the similar chemical properties.

Calculate the molarity of each solution.
weeeeeb [17]
Q1)
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L solution 
the number of moles of LiNO₃ - 0.38 mol
volume of solution - 6.14 L
since molarity is number of moles in 1 L 
number of moles in 6.14 L - 0.38 mol
therefore number of moles in 1 L - 0.38 mol / 6.14 L = 0.0619 mol/L
molarity of solution is 0.0619 M

Q2)
the mass of C₂H₆O in the solution is 72.8 g
molar mass of C₂H₆O is 46 g/mol 
number of moles = mass present / molar mass of compound
the number of moles of C₂H₆O - 72.8 g / 46 g/mol 
number of C₂H₆O moles - 1.58 mol
volume of solution - 2.34 L
number of moles in 2.34 L - 1.58 mol
therefore number of moles in 1 L - 1.58 mol / 2.34 L = 0.675 M
molarity of C₂H₆O is 0.675 M

Q3)

Mass of KI in solution - 12.87 x 10⁻³ g
molar mass - 166 g/mol
number of mole of KI = mass present / molar mass of KI
number of KI moles = 12.87 x 10⁻³ g / 166 g/mol = 0.0775 x 10⁻³ mol
volume of solution - 112.4 mL 
number of moles of KI in 112.4 mL - 0.0775 x 10⁻³ mol
therefore number of moles in 1000 mL- 0.0775 x 10⁻³ mol / 112.4 mL x 1000 mL
molarity of KI - 6.90 x 10⁻⁴ M

Which of the following atoms would have the longest de Broglie wavelength, if all have the same velocity?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Li

Explanation:

The phenomenon of wave particle duality was well established by Louis deBroglie. The wavelength associated with matter waves was related to its mass and velocity as shown below;

λ= h/mv

Where;

λ= wavelength of matter waves

m= mass of the particle

v= velocity of the particle

This implies that if the velocities of all particles are the same, the wavelength of matter waves will now depend on the mass of the particle. Hence; the wavelength of a matter wave associated with a particle is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the particle's linear momentum. The longest wavelength will then be obtained from the smallest mass of matter. Hence lithium which has the smallest mass will exhibit the longest DeBroglie wavelength

How many moles of tungsten (W,183.85 g/lol are in 415 grams of tungsten?
vladimir1956 [14]

Given mass of tungsten, W = 415 g

Molar mass of tungsten, W = 183.85 g/mol

Calculating moles of tungsten from mass and molar mass:

415 g * \frac{1 mol}{183.85 g} = 2.26 mol W

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 2.35 g of nh3 in 0.0500 l of solution?
tankabanditka [31]
The molarity is the number of moles in 1 L of the solution. 
The mass of NH₃ given - 2.35 g
Molar mass of NH₃ - 17 g/mol
The number of NH₃ moles in 2.35 g - 2.35 g / 17 g/mol = 0.138 mol
The number of moles in 0.05 L solution - 0.138 mol 
Therefore number of moles in 1 L - 0.138 mol / 0.05 L x 1L = 2.76 mol
Therefore molarity of NH₃ - 2.76 M
