A potassium atom has a higher proton number meaning that it has more protons and electrons. Due to the Octet Rule, the more electrons an atom has the more shells it has and so will be bigger in size.

Liquid sodium is being considered as an engine coolant. How many grams of liquid sodium (minimum) are needed to absorb 1.30 MJ o
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

97 000 g Na

Explanation:

The absortion (or liberation) of energy in form of heat is expressed by:

q=m*Cp*ΔT

The information we have:

q=1.30MJ= 1.30*10^6 J

ΔT = 10.0°C = 10.0 K (ΔT is the same in °C than in K)

Cp=30.8 J/(K mol Na)

If you notice, the Cp in the question is in relation with mol of Na. Before using the q equation, we can find the Cp in relation to the grams of Na.

To do so, we use the molar mass of Na= 22.99g/mol

Cp= \frac{30.8J}{K*mol Na}*\frac{1 mol Na}{22.99 g Na}=1.34\frac{J}{K*g Na}

Now, we are able to solve for m:

m=\frac{1.30*10^6 J}{1.34\frac{J}{K*g Na} *10.0K}=\frac{1.30*10^6J}{13.4\frac{J}{g Na} }  = 9.70*10^4 g Na=97 Kg Na=97 000 g Na

Which element is used for the shiny trim on cars
galben [10]
<span>The correct answer is either Chrome (Chromium), or Aluminum. Unlike steel, these two don't rust easily and can be polished to be quite shiny, especially Chromium, which is why you'll always hear people who like cars talking about chrome wheels and chrome spoilers and things like that. They are not that good for bumpy or roads that are full of holes because they can bend much easier than steel so it can be expensive to maintain.</span>

We have learned that the Lewis model portrays a chemical bond as the transfer or sharing of electrons represented as dots. Valen
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

According to molecular orbital theory, chemical bond occurs as electrons are able to reduce their energy by entering the resulting molecular orbitals.

Chemical bonds are not located among atoms, they are distributed all over the molecule.

Uses test methods to solve the equation of Schrodinger.

You can never do better than nature, however strong your assumption is. Calculations of minimum energy must be done by software.
