How do the first ionization energies of main group elements vary across a period and down a group?

They increase across each period, decrease down a group. As you go across a period the number of protons and increases. The positive nucleus then has a stronger attractive force on the electrons so it takes a larger amount of energy to remove an electron. As you go down a group the atoms are larger so the attractive force is weaker and it takes less energy to remove an electron.

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of baking soda (NaHCO3) and acetic acid.(A) HCO3–(aq)
IgorC [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given as:

NaHCO_3(aq.)+CH_3COOH(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Na^+(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)+CH_3COO^-(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq.)+Na^+(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

As, sodium and acetate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

HCO_3^-(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

34. Explain how dimensional analysis is used to solve<br> problems.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: By understanding conversion factors and how they are related to each other

Explanation:

Dimensional Analysis is a step by step approach to solving problems in Physics, Chemistry , and Mathematics. It involves having a clear knowledge and understanding to be able to convert a given unit to another in the same dimension using  conversion factors and knowing how they are related to each other.

For instance, In Chemistry, we want to Convert 120mL to L.(note that ml stands for millilitres and ;L stands for litres)

Or first approach will be to write out the conversion factor related to our problem which is

1000ml =1L

such that 120ml = (we cross multiply))

giving us  120ml x 1L/1000ml =0.12L

This same process is applied to convert any type of dimensional analysis problems be it physics or mathematics.

What kind of reaction occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid? what kind of reaction occurs wh
My name is Ann [436]

The kind of reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid is a precipitation reaction.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>
  • The chemical reaction between Ba(OH)2(aq) and H2SO4(aq) is given by;

Ba(OH)₂(aq) + H₂SO4(aq) --> BaSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

  • This is a type of precipitation reaction, where a precipitate is formed after the reaction, that is Barium sulfate.
<h3>Other types of reaction</h3><h3>Neutralization reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve reacting acids and bases or alkali to form salt and water as the only products.
  • For example a reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.

NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

<h3>Displacement reactions</h3>
  • These are reactions in which a more reactive atom or ion displaces a less reactive ion from its salt.

Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

<h3>Redox reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve both reduction and oxidation occuring simultaneously durin a chemical reaction.
  • For example,

Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

  • Magnesium atom undergoes oxidation while copper ions undergoes reduction.
<h3>Decomposition reactions</h3>
  • These are type of reactions that involves breakdown of a compound into its constituents elements.
  • For example decomposition of lead nitrate.

Pb(NO3)2(S) → PbO(s) + O2(g) + NO2(g)
