The first ionisation energy increase as you go along the periodic table

djyliett [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined as the energy necessary to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.

Therefore, smaller is the size of an atom or ion more energy it needs to remove an electron because more is the charge on an ion smaller will be its size.

Hence, more will be the attraction between nucleus and valence electrons of the atom. So, more difficulty is faced by the atom to lose an electron. As a result, ionization energy will increase.

Across the period, there will be decrease in size of elements of the periodic table.

Thus, we can conclude that there will be increase in first ionization energy across the periodic table.

A student prepares a 1.8 M aqueous solution of 4-chlorobutanoic acid (C2H CICO,H. Calculate the fraction of 4-chlorobutanoic aci

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

$C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \to C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)}+ H^+_{(aq)}$

The ICE table is then shown as:

$C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \ \ \ \ \to \ \ \ \ C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)} \ \ + \ \ \ \ H^+_{(aq)}$

Initial (M) 1.8 0 0

Change (M) - x + x + x

Equilibrium (M) (1.8 -x) x x

$K_a = \frac{[C_3H_6ClCO^-_2][H^+]}{[C_3H_6ClCO_2H]}$

where ;

$K_a = 3.02*10^{-5}$

$3.02*10^{-5} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(1.8-x)}$

Since the value for $K_a$ is infinitesimally small; then 1.8 - x ≅ 1.8

Then;

$3.02*10^{-5} *(1.8) = {(x)(x)}$

$5.436*10^{-5}= {(x^2)$

$x = \sqrt{5.436*10^{-5}}$

$x = 0.0073729 \\ \\ x = 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M$

Dissociated form of 4-chlorobutanoic acid = $C_3H_6ClCO_2^- = x= 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M$

Percentage dissociated = $\frac{C_3H_6ClCO^-_2}{C_3H_6ClCO_2H} *100$

Percentage dissociated = $\frac{7.3729*10^{-3}}{1.8 }*100$

Percentage dissociated = 0.4096

Percentage dissociated = 0.41% (to two significant digits)

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s affinity for electrons. Which of the following statements is true? Electronegativity

jekas [21]

Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.

Explain what would happen to the air temperature at Riverdale School over the course of the

monitta

Answer:

Air temperature increases.

Explanation:

The air temperature at Riverdale School increases if the groundwater system were used because this system uses very huge amount of water than the other system. By using more molecules having the same temperature, the thing with more molecules has more total kinetic energy or thermal energy than the thing with fewer molecules so that's why air temperature of the school is increases.
