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

Chemistry
1 answer:
algol [13]1 year ago
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.

2. A sample of neon gas has a volume of 87.6 L at STP. How many moles are present?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

                      3.91 moles of Neon

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's Law, same volume of any gas at standard temperature (273.15 K or O °C) and pressure (1 atm) will occupy same volume. And one mole of any Ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³ (1 dm³ = 1 L).

Data Given:

                 n = moles = <u>???</u>

                 V = Volume = 87.6 L

Solution:

               As 22.4 L volume is occupied by one mole of gas then the 16.8 L of this gas will contain....

                          = ( 1 mole × 87.6 L) ÷ 22.4 L

                          = 3.91 moles

<h3>2nd Method:</h3>

                     Assuming that the gas is acting ideally, hence, applying ideal gas equation.

                              P V  =  n R T      ∴  R  =  0.08205 L⋅atm⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹

Solving for n,

                              n  =  P V / R T

Putting values,

                              n  =  (1 atm × 87.6 L)/(0.08205 L⋅atm⋅K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹ × 273.15K)

                              n  =  3.91 moles

Result:

          87.6 L of Neon gas will contain 3.91 moles at standard temperature and pressure.

Which statement accurately describes dark matter?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

C. It does not emit electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

Right now, Dark Matter is only a theory. Scientist proposed this to counter some of the strange phenomenon with matter in space.

Scientists know little about dark matter. Some say it's one of the driving forces of the universe. Currently, scientists have no way of measuring or identifying dark matter.

Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine (H2NNH2) with subsequent addition of
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Reduced, alkane

Explanation:

Wolf-Kishner reaction is a type of reduction reaction in which aldehydes and ketones are reduced to their corresponding alkane in the presence of a base.

This reaction occurs at high temperature.

Alkane formed has a same number of carbon as aldehyde and ketone.

If acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction in the presence of base and heat, then ethane is formed. Nitrogen is formed as a byproduct.

Here, acetaldehyde is reduced to form ethane.

So, acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine  with subsequent addition of a base and heat. In this reaction, the aldehyde is reduced, resulting in alkane product.
