Answer:

Cl has a smaller radius than Cl− because Cl− has an expanded electron cloud.

Explanation:

Definition of atomic radii:

The atomic radius is the distance between center of two bonded atoms.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase.The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases.

Trend along group:

In group by addition of electron atomic radii increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number and addition of extra shell.

In this way Cl⁻ will have the largest atomic radii because one extra electron is added and electronic cloud more expanded as compared to neutral atom.

Calculate the atomic mass of gallium, symbol Ga. Gallium has two isotopes: Ga-69 and Ga-71. The relative abundance of Ga-69 is 6

amm1812

Answer:

The atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = 69.723 g/mol

Explanation:

Given: Two isotopes of Gallium (Ga) are Gallium-69 (⁶⁹Ga) and Gallium-71 (⁷¹Ga)

For ⁶⁹Ga: 

Relative abundance = 60.12% = 60.12 ÷ 100 = 0.6012; Atomic mass = 68.9257 g/mol

For ⁷¹Ga:

Relative abundance = 39.88% = 39.88 ÷ 100 = 0.3988; Atomic mass = 70.9249 g/mol

∴ The atomic mass of Ga = (Relative abundance of ⁶⁹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁶⁹Ga) + (Relative abundance of ⁷¹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁷¹Ga)

⇒ Atomic mass of Ga = (0.6012 × 68.9257 g/mol) + (0.3988 × 70.9249 g/mol) = 69.723 g/mol

Therefore, the atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = 69.723 g/mol

12. How much mass is in a 3.25-mole sample of NH 4 OH? A. 10.8 g B. 34.0 g C. 35.1 g D. 114 g

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

D. 114 g

Explanation:

NH4OH molecular weight. Molar mass of NH4OH = 35.0458 g/mol This compound is also known as Ammonium Hydroxide.
Convert grams NH4OH to moles or moles NH4OH to grams. Molecular weight calculation: 14.0067 + 1.00794*4 + 15.9994 + 1.00794.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.139 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant o

anzhelika [568]

Ok first, we have to create a balanced equation for the dissolution of nitrous acid.

HNO2 <-> H(+) + NO2(-)

Next, create an ICE table

HNO2 <--> H+ NO2-
[]i 0.139M 0M 0M
Δ[] -x +x +x
[]f 0.139-x x x

Then, using the concentration equation, you get

4.5x10^-4 = [H+][NO2-]/[HNO2]

4.5x10^-4 = x*x / .139 - x

However, because the Ka value for nitrous acid is lower than 10^-3, we can assume the amount it dissociates is negligable,

assume 0.139-x ≈ 0.139

4.5x10^-4 = x^2/0.139

Then, we solve for x by first multiplying both sides by 0.139 and then taking the square root of both sides.

We get the final concentrations of [H+] and [NO2-] to be x, which equals 0.007M.

Then to find percent dissociation, you do final concentration/initial concentration.

0.007M/0.139M = .0503 or

≈5.03% dissociation.

A scientist develops a new experiment to test atomic theory. His results do not agree with the theory.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

When the results of a new experiment to test atomic theory do not agree with the theory, scientist will repeat the experiment to make sure that his results are reliable.

Explanation:

In the scientific context, each new experiment must be performed with precision and following the steps of the scientific method.

An experiment that does not provide reliable data to demonstrate a theory must be reviewed in detail and performed again to confirm the data obtained in the first attempt.

A theory is a postulate that tries to explain a natural phenomenon, but whose argument can be discussed or does not have the acceptance of a law. When the theory is proven and there are no arguments against it, it can be universally accepted and becomes a law.

The other options are not valid due to:

Scientists worldwide will reject atomic theory because of the new results. A theory cannot be discarded without solid arguments or evidence in order to dismiss it and establish a new one.
The scientist will change his results to agree with the accepted theory. This would be an unethical procedure and unacceptable to the scientific community.
Other scientists will reject the results because they do not agree with the theory. The opinion of other scientists is not enough to dismiss a theory, if it has a valid scientific basis.
