Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

Chemistry

ziro4ka [17]2 years ago

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.

Answer:

The equation for the reaction of one sodium bicarbonate ( NaHCO3 ) molecule with one citric acid (C6H8O7) molecule is the following:

Sodium Bicarbonate + Citric Acid ⇒ Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sodium Citrate

NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 ⇒ 3 CO2 + 3 H2O + Na3C6H5O7

Explanation:

The reaction is in balance, that is, the whole H2CO3 is not finished, but a little bit of this acid is left in the solution. Therefore, when sodium bicarbonate is added to the solution with citric acid, sodium citrate salt (C6H5O7Na3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3) are formed, which is rapidly broken down into water (H2O) and carbonic oxide (CO2).

C6H8O7 + NaHCO3 ⇒ C6H5O7Na3 + 3 H2CO3

C6H5O7Na3 + 3 H2CO3 ⇔ C6H5O7Na3 + 3 H2O + 3 CO2

If the composition of the reaction mixture at 400 k is [brcl] = 0.00415 m, [br2] = 0.00366 m, and [cl2] = 0.000672 m, what is th
Scorpion4ik [409]
Q is unlike K value it describes the reaction that is not at equilibrium.
by considering this reaction:
aA+ bB⇄ cC
and our reaction is:
Br2 + Cl2 ⇄ 2 BrCl

According to Q low:
Q= concentration of products/concentration of reactants
but this equation in the gaseous or aqueous states only.
∴ Q = [BrCl]^2 / [Br2] [Cl2]

and we have [Br2] = 0.00366 m  [Cl2]= 0.000672 m  [BrCl] = 0.00415 m

by substitution:
                          = [0.00415]^2 / ( [0.00366] * [0.000672])
             ∴   Q   = 7

How many liters of a 0.0550 M NaF solution contain 0.163 moles of NaF?
Kobotan [32]

Answer : The volume of solution will be 2.96 liters.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

In this question, the solute is NaF.

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

0.0550M=\frac{0.163mole}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

\text{Volume of solution (in L)}=\frac{0.163mole}{0.0550M}

\text{Volume of solution (in L)}=2.96L

Therefore, the volume of solution will be 2.96 liters.
