Which has a higher ionization energy: chlorine (Cl) or magnesium (Mg)? Why? Select the best answer

1 answer:

3 0

Removal of the loosely bounded electron is defined by the ionization energy. Chlorine needs less energy to add electrons and has higher ionization power. Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is ionization energy?</h3>

The ability of an electron to accept or give electrons to another element in a chemical reaction by forming and creating bonds and the positive and negative charges has been defined by the ionization energy.

Magnesium has lower ionization energy than chlorine due to its large size and smaller nuclear charge. On the other hand, chlorine can easily add electrons to the valence shell which is almost full.

Therefore, option A. chlorine has higher ionization energy and can add electrons with minimum energy.

A tetraphenyl phosphonium chloride (TPPCl) powder (FW=342.39) is 94.0 percent pure. How many grams are needed to prepare 0.45 L

slega [8]

Answer:

5.41 g

Explanation:

Considering:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Or,

$Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Given :

For tetraphenyl phosphonium chloride :

Molarity = 33.0 mM = 0.033 M (As, 1 mM = 0.001 M)

Volume = 0.45 L

Thus, moles of tetraphenyl phosphonium chloride :

$Moles=0.033 \times {0.45}\ moles$

Moles of TPPCl = 0.01485 moles

Molar mass of TPPCl = 342.39 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.01485\ g= \frac{Mass}{342.39\ g/mol}$

Mass of TPPCl = 5.0845 g

Also,

TPPCl is 94.0 % pure.

It means that 94.0 g is present in 100 g of powder

5.0845 g is present in 5.41 g of the powder.

Answer - 5.41 g

Determine the relative amounts (in terms of volume fractions) for a 15 wt% sn-85 wt% pb alloy at 100Â°c. the densities of tin an

nikdorinn [45]

Volume fraction = volume of the element / volume of the alloy

Volume = density * mass

Base: 100 grams of alloy

mass of tin = 15 grams

mass of lead = 85 grams

volume = mass / density

Volume of tin = 15g / 7.29 g/cm^3 = 2.06 cm^3

Volume of lead = 85 g / 11.27 g/cm^3 = 7.54 cm^3

Volume fraction of tin = 2.06 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.215

Volume fraction of lead = 7.54 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.785

As you can verify the sum of the two volume fractions equals 1: 0.215 + 0.785 = 1.000

Indicate which solution in each pair has the lower pH. Your response should be a four letter "word". The first letter should be

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

bcfh

Explanation:

HClO₄ reacts with water thus:

HClO₄ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + ClO₄⁻

That means HClO₄ produce H₃O⁺ that decreases pH. That means the higher concentration of HClO₄ decreases pH. Thus, lower pH will be:

b) 0.2 M HClO4

The reaction of NaClO₄ is:

NaClO₄ + H₂O → OH⁻ + HClO₄ + Na⁺

The higher concentration of NaClO₄ the higher production of OH⁻ that increase pH, that means the lower concentration of NaClO₄ the lower pH, thus, the answer is:

c) 0.1 M NaClO or

HF reacts with water thus;

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻

The equilibrium constant is:

k = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF] = 3,5x10⁻⁴

For HNO₂ equilibrium is:

HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

k = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] = 4,5x10⁻⁴

As k value is higher for HNO₂, the concentration of H⁺ will be higher in this system doing the HNO₂ with the lower pH.

f) 0.1 M HNO2

NaOH is a strong base that produce OH⁻ that increase pH, pure water is neutral, thus, the lowe pH is:

h) pure water

I hope it helps!

Which option is a mixture? A. potassium B. sugar C. water D. salad

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

D.Salad

Explanation:

A mixture is a substance that combines two or more substance that are physically combined. A mixture can be easily seperated by a physical means . A mixture is the combination of various substances that are not chemically combined .Examples of mixtures are cake and salad . The cake contains various substances like egg, flour and sugar. This mixture can be easily separated into it individual entities by a physical means .

Base on the option the only mixture among the option is salad . Salad is a a mixtures that combines substances like tomatoes , fruits and vegetable. The individual substances that makes up the salad can be easily separated.

Sugar is a compound . Water is a compound as it contains two elements and potassium is an element.
