Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

1 answer:

4 0

The reason for this is because nonmetals, have close to fulfilling an octet and need to gain few more electrons to do this, not to lose more. Nonmetals, because of the fact they need only few more electrons to satisfy their octet they would receive or share electrons to do this.

The property that nonmetals have are that they are very electronegative, they possess a strong affinity to pull electron density closer, because they possess fewer electron shells and possess even protons this allows for this.

6) A 0.20 ml CO2 bubble in a cake batter is at 27°C. In the oven it gets

Nata [24]

Answer: The new volume of cake is 1.31 mL.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 0.20 mL, $T_{1} = 27^{o}C$

$V_{2}$ = ?, $T_{2} = 177^{o}C$

Formula used to calculate new volume is as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{0.20 mL}{27^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{177^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 1.31 mL$

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume of cake is 1.31 mL.

when the volume of a gas is changed from 3.75 L to 6.52 L the temperature will change from 100k to _K

harkovskaia [24]

The temperature will change from 100K to 173.87 K

calculation

by use of law that is V1/T1=V2/T2

V1=3.75 L

T1=100k

V2=6.53 L

T2=?

make T2 the subject of the formula

T2=(V2 xT1)V1

=6.52 x100/3.75=173.87K

MAXImum [283]

Amines are derivatives of Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;

Primary Amines:
In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.

Secondary Amines:
In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.

Tertiary Amines:
In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.

Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula C₅H₁₃N.

How many grams are in 2.3 x10-4 moles of calcium phosphate ca3(po3)2

Airida [17]

Answer:

calcium phosphate has the formula Ca3(PO4)2, which has the mass of 310 grams/mol.

1 mol contains 310 grams

2.3*10^-4 moles contain 2.3*10^-4 * 310, which means 713*10^-4 grams, or 71.3 milligrams.

If you wrote the formula right and named the compound wrong, all you have to do is replace 310 with 278 and the answer will be 639.4*10^-4 grams, or 63.94 milligrams.

A bottle of concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid, labeled 98.0 wt% h2so4, has a concentration of 18.0 m. (a) how many milliliters

<span>n this order, Ď=1.8gmL, cm=0.5, and mole fraction = 0.9 First, let's start with wt%, which is the symbol for weight percent. 98wt% means that for every 100g of solution, 98g represent sulphuric acid, H2SO4. We know that 1dm3=1L, so H2SO4's molarity is C=nV=18.0moles1.0L=18M In order to determine sulphuric acid solution's density, we need to find its mass; H2SO4's molar mass is 98.0gmol, so 18.0moles1Lâ‹…98.0g1mole=1764g1L Since we've determined that we have 1764g of H2SO4 in 1L, we'll use the wt% to determine the mass of the solution 98.0wt%=98g.H2SO4100.0g.solution=1764gmasssolutionâ†’ masssolution=1764gâ‹…100.0g98g=1800g Therefore, 1L of 98wt% H2SO4 solution will have a density of Ď=mV=1800g1.0â‹…103mL=1.8gmL H2SO4's molality, which is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the mass in kg of the solvent; assuming the solvent is water, this will turn out to be cm=nH2SO4masssolvent=18moles(1800â’1764)â‹…10â’3kg=0.5m Since mole fraction is defined as the number of moles of one substance divided by the total number of moles in the solution, and knowing the water's molar mass is 18gmol, we could determine that 100g.solutionâ‹…98g100gâ‹…1mole98g=1 mole H2SO4 100g.solutionâ‹…(100â’98)g100gâ‹…1mole18g=0.11 moles H2O So, H2SO4's mole fraction is molefractionH2SO4=11+0.11=0.9</span>
