Answer:
Fluorine > Selenium > Arsenic > Potassium > Argon
Explanation:
Electron affinity describes the ability or readiness or tendency of an atom to gain an electron.
The higher the value, the higher the tendency. Electron affinity depends on the on the nuclear charge and atomic radius. When nuclear charge is more, electron affinity is high, when atomic radius increases electron affinity reduces.
Noble gases such as Helium, Neon, and Argon would have 0 affinity for electrons because of their stable electronic configuration. From the list, Ar is the least in terms of electron affinity.
Potassium is a metal with large electropositivity which describes the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. Potassium would readily lose electrons instead of gaining.
Between Arsenic and Selenium: Arsenic belongs to group V and Selenium group VI. The two elements both belong to period IV on the periodic table. Across a period, electron affinity increases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, Selenium would have a greater electron affinity compared to Arsenic.
Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of all. It needs just an electron to complete its octet.
Explanation:
Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.
Answer:
The new volume of a gas at 750 mmhg and with a volume of 2. 00 l when allowed to change its volume at constant temperature until the pressure is 600 mmhg is 2.5 Liters.
Explanation:
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume at constant temperature. It is written as;
P ∝ V
P V = K
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Parameters :
P1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 750 mmHg
V1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 2. 00 Liters
P2 = Final pressure of the gas = 600 mmHg
V2 = Fimal volume of the gas = ? Liters
Calculations :
V2 = P1 V1 ÷ P2
V2= 750 × 2. 00 ÷ 600
V2 = 1500 ÷ 600
V2 = 2.5 Liters.
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 2. 5 Liters.
The correct answer is : The Organism belongs in Kingdom Fungi
The explanation:
1) because Fungi can be multicellular
2) most of them cannot move.
3) They can get food by releasing digestive juices into their environment.
Answer:
A 1 liter volumetric flask should be used.
Explanation:
First we <u>convert 166.00 g of KI into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
Molar mass of KI = Molar mass of K + Molar mass of I = 166 g/mol
- 166.00 g ÷ 166 g/mol = 1 mol KI
Then we <u>calculate the required volume</u>, using the <em>definition of molarity</em>:
- Molarity = moles / liters
Liters = moles / molarity
