The sum of IE₁ through IE₄ for Group 4A(14) elements shows a decrease from C to Si, a slight increase from Si to Ge, a decrease

from Ge to Sn, and an increase from Sn to Pb.(a) What is the expected trend for IEs down a group?

The correct answer is IE decreases down the group.

On moving down the group, the size of the element increases due to the increase in the number of shells. The element with smallest size has less the attraction of the nucleus on the valance electron. It needs more energy to remove an electron from its valance shell. Hence, the IE decreases down the group.

Why does ionization energy increase down the group but decreases going across a period?

Because there are more protons with time, the ionization energy rises. As a result, there will be more attraction because the nuclear charge has increased.

Even if there is stronger attraction, one should be aware that the shielding effect and distance from the nucleus remain largely constant. The same primary quantum shell contains all of the valence electrons, which explains this.

Therefore, while distance from the nucleus and the shielding effect stay fairly constant, an increase in nuclear charge causes an increase in attraction and increases the energy required to remove an electron.

The ionization energy drops with each group. This is because the outside electrons acting as a shield or screen for the nucleus make the attraction between them weaker and make it easier for them to be withdrawn.

A 58.5 g sample of glass is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0 g of water. The glass sample starts
Ket [755]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of glass is 0.70J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by glass = heat gained by water

Heat lost by glass = mass × specific heat capacity (c) × (final temperature - initial temperature) = 58.5×c×(91.2 - 21.7) = 4065.75c

Heat gained by water = mass × specific heat capacity × (final temperature - initial temperature) = 250×4.2×(21.7 - 19) = 2835

4065.75c = 2835

c = 2835/4065.75 = 0.70J/g°C

Luis is helping his parents paint a border around the walls of a room. He uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Polymerization.

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

Simply stated, polymerization refers to a chemical reaction where two or more smaller molecules react to produce larger molecules of the same network or repetitive structural units.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Polymerization is given by the chemical formula;

nA -----> A(n).

In this scenario, Luis uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall to form one long grapevine with a bunch of grapes every foot along its length.

Hence, the type of chemical reaction this best model is polymerization because it involved repeating the same design (monomers) to form a long grapevine with a bunch of grapes (polymers).

The isomerization of methylisonitrile to acetonitrileCH3NC(g)→CH3CN(g)is first order in CH3NC . The rate constant for the reacti
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option E, Half life = 2.96\times 10^3\ s

Explanation:

For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:

            t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

Where,

t_{1/2} = Half life

k = Rate constant

Rate constant given = 2.34\times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

=\frac{0.693}{2.34 \times 10^{-4}}=2.96\times 10^3\ s

So, the correct option is option E.

So what have I done here? First, I had a balanced chemical equation (this is the important step; is it balanced?). Then I used the stoichiometry to get the molar quantity of product, and converted this molar quantity to mass. If this is not clear, I am willing to have another go
