Answer : The group number of X is 15.

Explanation :

In $Na_3X$ , 'Na' is a sodium metal and 'X' is an unknown element.

First we have to determine the oxidation state of element 'X'.

Let the oxidation state of element 'X' be, 'a'.

As we know that sodium is an alkali metal which belongs to group 1 and has (+1) charge.

$3(+1)+a=0\\\\+3+a=0\\\\a=-3$

That means, the oxidation state or charge on 'X' is (-3) and the group 15 elements (nitrogen, phosphorous, arsenic, antimony and bismuth) have five electrons in valence shell and thus require three more electrons to acquire the nearest noble gas configuration. Thus, the group 15 elements have the tendency to show (-3) oxidation state.

Hence, the group number of X is 15.

X will be in group 5, since if you exchange the valencies of Na with any element on group 5, you will get Na3X

Compare the composition of sucrose purified from the sugar cane with the composition of sucrose purified from sugar beets.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: they are the same.

Explanation:

1) Sucrose is a compound with chemical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

2) That means that all molcules of sucrose will have the same kind of atoms in the same proportion, whic is to say same composition:

12 atoms of C: 22 atoms of H: 11 atoms of O, per each molecule of sucrose.

3) For this question you can rely in the definition of compound: a pure substance formed by the combination of two or more elements always in the same ratio (same composition).

4) That also implies, that all the molecules of sucrose have the same properties.

A well-insulated, closed device claims to be able to compress 100 mol of propylene, acting as a SoaveRedlich-Kwong gas and with

Setler79 [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Moles of propylene = 100 moles, $T_{i}$ = 300 K

$T_{f}$ = 800 K, $V_{i} = 2 m^{3}$

$V_{f} = 0.02 m^{3}$ , $C_{p}$ of propylene = 100 J/mol

Now, we assume the following assumptions:

Since, it is a compression process therefore, work will be done on the system. And, work done will be equal to the heat energy liberating without any friction.

W = $mC_{p} \Delta T$

$100 moles \times 100 J/mol K (800 - 300) K$

= $5 \times 10^{6} J$

= 5 MJ

Thus, we can conclude that a minimum of 5 MJ work is required without any friction.

what does the number of the places after the decimal in a measurement tell you about the precision of the instrument that record

snow_lady [41]

The more numbers after the decimal point there are, the more precise the instrument which recorded it is. For example, if one instrument during seismic activity records that the magnitude of the earthquake was 2.3, and another instrument recorded that it was 2.3645, the second instrument would have shown to be more precise.

Calculate the heat of reaction, ΔH°rxn, for overall reaction for the production of methane, CH4.

Lesechka [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction for the production of $CH_4$ is coming out to be -74.9 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H^o$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CH_4(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C(s))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(C(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2)}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{CH_4}=-74.9kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-74.9))]-[1\times 0)+(2\times 0)]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-74.9kJ$

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction for the production of $CH_4$ is coming out to be -74.9 kJ
