Describe the difference in structure between beH2 and CaH2

Chemistry

Hello!

BeH₂ is a linear molecule, while CaH₂ is an angular molecule.

The difference between these two molecules is given by the number of electrons they have. Be is in the 2nd period of the Periodic table, and the ion Be⁺² doesn't have any free electron pairs when bonding to H. Ca is in the 4 period of the periodic table, meaning that it has more electrons, and the ion Ca⁺² has two free electron pairs when bonding to H that makes the molecule angular by pushing the bonds at an angle by sterical hindrance.  

Have a nice day!

An aluminum ion has a charge of +3, and an oxide has a charge of -2. What would be the product of a reaction between these two e
kozerog [31]

The product of a reaction between these two elements is Al_{2} O_{3}.

Explanation:

The oxidation state of an ion in a compound is equal to its charge.

The aluminum having a charge of +3 because oxidation state is +3

The oxide is having charge of -2

The product of these reactants will produce a chemical compound.

The compound formed is Al_{2} O_{3}  i.e Aluminium oxide. The compound while getting formed will share the charge and cation A+ will have the charge of anion and anion will have the charge of cation. This will result in a compound as there should be a neutral charge on the compound formed.

The <em>+</em><em>3 charge of the cation Al+ will go to anion oxide O2- and the charge of anion -2 will go with cation Al+. </em>

During an exothermic reaction, ΔH for the reactants was 890 kJ/mol. Which of the following statements is correct about the ΔH fo
kaheart [24]

Answer:-A. It is less than 890 kJ/mol because the amount of energy required to break bonds is less than the amount of energy released in forming bonds.

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

In the formation of new bonds more energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is released.

In the formation of bonds less energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is absorbed.

At 73.0 ∘c , what is the maximum value of the reaction quotient, q, needed to produce a non-negative e value for the reaction so
damaskus [11]
Here we will use the general formula of Nernst equation:

Ecell = E°Cell - [(RT/nF)] *㏑Q

when E cell is cell potential at non - standard state conditions

E°Cell is standard state cell potential = - 0.87 V

and R is a constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 73 + 273 = 346 K

and F is Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mole

and n is the number of moles of electron transferred in the reaction=2  

and Q is the reaction quotient for the reaction 
SO42-2(aq) + 4H+(aq) +2Br-(aq) ↔  Br2(aq) + SO2(g) +2H2O(l)

so by substitution :

0 = -0.87 - [(8.314*346K)/(2* 96485)*㏑Q      → solve for Q 


∴ Q = 4.5 x 10^-26

Carbon dioxide readily absorbs radiation with an energy of 4.67 x 10-20 J. What is the wavelength and frequency of this radiatio
Tanya [424]

Answer:

ν = 7.04 × 10¹³ s⁻¹

λ = 426 nm

It falls in the visible range

Explanation:

The relation between the energy of the radiation and its frequency is given by Planck-Einstein equation:

E = h × ν

where,

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s)

ν is the frequency

Then, we can find frequency,

\nu = \frac{E}{h}=  \frac{4.67 \times 10^{-20}J  }{6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s} = 7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1}

Frequency and wavelength are related through the following equation:

c = λ × ν

where,

c is the speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)

λ is the wavelength

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu } =\frac{3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s }{7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1} } =4.26 \times 10^{-6}m.\frac{10^{9}nm }{1m} = 426 nm

A 426 nm wavelength falls in the visible range (≈380-740 nm)

II. Pure magnesium metal is often found as ribbons and can easily burn in the presence of oxygen. When 3.86 g of magnesium ribbo
Leto [7]

Answer:

Excess=3.53g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g) \rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Next, we identify the limiting reactant by computing the moles of magnesium oxide yielded by 3.86 g of magnesium and 155 mL of oxygen at the given conditions via their 2:1:2 mole ratios and the ideal gas equation:

n_{MnO}^{by \ Mg}=3.86gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.3gMg}*\frac{2molMgO}{2molMg}  =0.159molMgO\\\\n_{MnO}^{by \ O_2}=\frac{1atm*0.155L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{molO_2*K}*275K} *\frac{2mol MgO}{1molO_2} =0.0137molMgO

It means that the limiting reactant is the oxygen as it yields the smallest amount of magnesium oxide. Next, we compute the mass of magnesium consumed the oxygen only:

m_{Mg}^{consumed}=0.0137molMgO*\frac{2molMg}{2molMgO} *\frac{24.3gMg}{1molMg} =0.334gMg

Thus, the mass in excess is:

Excess=3.86g-0.334g\\\\Excess=3.53g

Regards!
