The first four ionization energies for an imaginary element, Xz, are E1 = 102 kcal, E2 = 186 kcal, E3 = 4021 kcal, and E4 = 4862

kcal. The number of valence electrons most probable as indicated by this ionization data is:

Answer: Two valence electrons.

Explanation: Ionization energy is the energy required to remove electrons from valence shell of an atom in its gaseous state.

More closer are the electrons to the nucleus, more energy is required to remove them. Ionization energy increases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

First two ionization energy values are low and there isn't a much difference between them but the third ionization energy is very much high as compared to first and second ionization energy values. The fourth ionization energy value is also closer to third ionization energy value.

It indicates that first and second electrons are removed from same shell. Similarly, third and fourth electrons are also removed from same shell which is different than the shell from which first and second electrons are removed.

So, outer most shell that is valence shell has only two electrons. Third ionization energy has increased a lot as the third electron is removed from the inner shell and first two electrons are removed from valence shell.

A car travels 150 meters in 3.5 seconds what is its speed?
defon

Answer:

The solution is given below.

Explanation:

Speed   = Distance(m)/Time(sec.)

Distance traveled = 150 m

Time taken = 3.5 seconds

Speed of car = 150/3.5 = 42.86 m/s

So the car traveled at a speed of 42.86 m/s.

A beaker contains 100.0 mL of pure water. A second beaker contains 100.0 mL of seawater. The two beakers are left side by side o
shusha [124]

Answer: The beaker in which water level has decreased more is the one that contains pure water.

Explanation: Even when water is not heated it can evaporate, that is because molecules move at different speed and those that are closer to surface can break the gass pressure and scape as water vapor.

The movement of molecules of water can be affected by the presence of solutes (salts or other soluble compounds) and increase the evaporation temperature. For this particular case, molecules of salt atract the water molecules (remember salt has ions and water is a dipole with partial charges) and do not let the water move freely which avoid them to scape to the surface.

Explain how a scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be used in combination with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) t
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

SEM provides detailed high resolution images of the sample by rastering a focussed electron beam across the surface and detecting secondary or backscattered electron signal. An Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analyzer (EDX or EDA) is also used to provide elemental identification and quantitative compositional information.
