What ion will be formed by the selenium atom shown below when it has a stable set of valence electrons?
Selenium atom
A. Se6+
B. Se2+
C. Se6-
D. Se2-

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

D. Se2−

Answer 2

Selenium is in Group 16 of the periodic table, and it typically has 6 valence electrons. To achieve a stable set of valence electrons, it will either try to gain two more electrons to form Se²⁻or lose six electrons to form Se⁶⁺. Therefore, the correct option is option D.

An ion is an atom or a molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in an unequal number of protons and electrons. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion. Conversely, when an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation.

Ions play a crucial role in chemical reactions and the formation of chemical compounds, as they are attracted to one another based on their opposite charges. This process helps stabilize the electron configuration and achieve a more stable, lower-energy state.

Thus, the ideal selection is option D.

When Earth is tilted on its axis why does it orbit the sun ?

Explanation:

Some assume our planet's changing distance from the sun causes the change in the seasons. That's logical, but not the case for Earth. Instead, Earth has seasons because our planet's axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane, that is, the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) can be prepared according to the following equation:
CaF2 + H2SO4 2 HF + CaSO4.
How many grams of HF can be prepared from 75.0 g of H2SO4 and 63.0 g of CaF2?
In the above problem, which reactant is limiting and which is in excess?

Answers

Given the balanced equation:

( Reaction type : double replacement)

CaF2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2HFI

We can determine the number of grams prepared from the quantity of 75.0 H2SO4, and 63.0g of CaF2 by converting these grams to moles per substance.

This can be done by evaluating the atomic mass of each element of the substance, and totaling it to find the molecular mass.

For H2SO4 or hydrogen sulfate it's molecular mass is the sum of the quantity of atomic mass per element. H×2 + S×1 + O×4 = ≈1.01×2 + ≈32.06×1 + ≈16×4 = 2.02 + 32.06 + 64 = 98.08 u (Dalton's or Da) or g / mol.

For CaF2 or calcium fluoride, it's molecular mass adds 1 atomic mass of calcium and 2 atomic masses of fluoride due to the number of atoms.

Ca×1 + F×2 = ≈40.07×1 + ≈19×2 = 40.08 + 38 = 78.07 u (Da or Dalton's) or g / mol.

The limiting  reactant in the given balanced reaction is sulphuric acid. The mass of HF produced from 75 g of H₂SO₄ is 30 g.

What is limiting reactant?

The limiting reactant in a species is the reactant which is fewer in amount and thus determine the yield of the product.

In the given reaction, one mole of calcium fluoride reacts with one mole of sulphuric acid to give two moles of HF. The molar mass of calcium fluoride CaF₂ is 78 g/mol the weight taken here is 63 g. Thus number of moles is 63/78 = 0.87 moles.

The molar mass of sulphuric acid H₂SO₄ is 100g/mol. The weight taken here is 75 g and thus, number of moles is 75/100 = 0.75 moles. One mole of calcium fluoride need one mole of H₂SO₄ . Thus 0.87 neede 0.87 moles of H₂SO₄ . But here we have only 0.75. Thus it is the limiting reactant.

As per the reaction, one mole or 100 g of H₂SO₄  produce 2 moles or 40 g of HF (molar mass = 20 g/mol). Thus mass of HF produced from 75 g is calculated as follows:

mass of HF = (75 × 40)/100

                   =  30 g.

Hence, mass of HF produced in this reaction is 30 g.

O a. sodium has four or five electrons.
O b. the atomic radius has increased.
c. a d-electron has been removed.
d. the noble gas configuration has been reached.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The high jump of ionization energy indicates that we are trying to remove electron from noble gas configuration state.

The ionization energy data specifies that the Elements are from group 1 at period 3 or greater.

Removing the first electron require 496 kJ and the second ionization energy jump significantly due to the removal of electron from the noble gas configuration which is logical because electron try to maintain the especially stable state.

Answers

Answer:

2.Diffusion

Explanation:

As we metabolize certain nutrients for the correct functioning of our cells, carbon dioxide is produced as a result. We need oxygen in order to metabolize them, so we need to have a system to incorporate it, and to eliminate the carbon dioxide produced.

This system is provided by the interaction between the respiratory system, which allows the enter of oxygen into the body and gets rid of the carbon dioxide, and the circulatory system, which acts transporting carbon dioxide and oxygen to and from the lungs, respectively.

The surface available for the gaseous exchange is enlarged by the pulmonary alveoli. The alveoli are the terminal aerial spaces of the respiratory system and the structures where the exchange between the air and blood is produced. Each alveolus is surrounded by a net of capillaries, where oxygen is freed from the hemoglobin and moves into the cells by diffusion. Carbon dioxide, diffuses out of the cells into the capillaries, where most of it dissolves in the plasma of the blood.

Answers

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

Further explanation

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

Why do clothes stick together when coming out of a dryer? And do the clothes start off as neutral?

Answers

here is what came up when i searched it up:

"The attraction between protons and electrons can also make clothes stick together in the dryer. When you dry clothes in the dryer, different fabrics rub together, and electrons from a cotton sock (for instance) may rub off onto a polyester shirt."

Sometimes, clothes can get stuck together after they come out of a dryer because of static electricity.

No, clothes may not start off as neutral. Whether clothes have static charges before going into the dryer depends on different things.

Why do clothes stick together when coming out of a dryer?  

Static electricity happens when certain things touch and create an uneven amount of electrons. This can cause one material to have a positive charge and the other to have a negative charge. When clothes move and touch each other in a dryer, this rubbing can cause static electricity.

If the clothes are cleaned and dried correctly, they should have no charge or be evenly charged.

why is the moisture of cirrus clouds mostly in the solid state

Answers

Answer:

Wind is the horizontal movement of air, transporting energy transferred from the earth's surface as sensible and latent heat. Sensible heat is transferred by the processes of conduction and convection. Conduction transfers energy within a substance, and convection transfers energy through the vertical movement of the heated substance. Latent heat is the transfer of energy by transforming the substance itself. As you recall, water has the ability to exist as liquid, gas or solid. The transformation from liquid to gas is called evaporation; the reverse process, from gas to liquid, is called condensation; from liquid to solid is known as solidification (freezing); and from solid to liquid, fusion (melting). Water can also be transformed directly from solid to gas (sublimation), or the reverse, through a process called deposition. We will see these various processes in the formation of clouds.
