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.

pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible. True or False

slavikrds [6]

Pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible True.

Liquids and solids show little change in solubility with changes in pressure. As expected, gases increase in solubility with increasing pressure. Henry's Law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.

External pressure has little effect on liquid and solid solubility. In contrast, the solubility of a gas increases as the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases.

Solubility is a measure of the concentration of dissolved gas particles in a liquid and is a function of gas pressure. Increasing the gas pressure increases the number of collisions and increases the solubility, and decreasing the pressure decreases the solubility.

Bromine reacts with nitric oxide to form nitrosyl bromide as shown in this reaction: br2(g) + 2 no(g) → 2 nobr(g) a possible mec

Svetach [21]

The overall reaction is given by:

$Br_{2}(g) + 2 NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$

The fast step reaction is given as:

$NO(g) + Br_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2}(g) (fast; k_{eq}= \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}})$

The slow step reaction is given as:

$NOBr_{2}(g) + NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$ (slow step $k_{2}$ )

Now, the expression for the rate of reaction of fast reaction is:

$r_{1}=k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]-k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

The expression for the rate of reaction of slow reaction is:

$r_{2}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}] [NO]$

Slow step is the rate determining step. Thus, the overall rate of formation is the rate of formation of slow reaction as $[NOBr_{2}]$ takes place in this reaction.

The expression of rate of formation is:

$\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=r_{2}$

= $k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]$ (1)

Now, consider that the fast step is always is in equilibrium. Therefore, $r_{1}=0$

$k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]= k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

$[NOBr_{2}] = \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}]$

Substitute the value of $[NOBr_{2}]$ in equation (1), we get:

$\frac{d(NOBr)}{dt}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}][NO]$

= $k_{2} \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}}[NO][Br_{2}][NO]$

= $\frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]$

Thus, rate law of formation of $NOBr$ in terms of reactants is given by $\frac{k_{1}k_{2}}{k_{-1}}[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]$ .

How many moles of KCl are required to prepare 1.50 L of 5.4 M KCl?

puteri [66]

5.4 M = moles of solute / 1.50 L

<span>Multiply both sides by 1.50 L to isolate moles of solute on the right. </span>

How much energy is wasted as heat by an incandescent light globe

muminat

Electric current passes through a filament of an incandescent bulb, thereby increasing it temperature. When current flows, it contains electrons through the filament to produce light. Typically, incandescent light bulb consists of a glass enclosure that contains tungsten filament. The glass enclosure contains either a vacuum or an inert gas that serves as the filament protection from evaporating. Incandescent light bulbs contain a stem attached at to its base to allow the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas or air leaks.
