<h3>Answer:</h3>

                   Rubidium (Rb)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                           Ionization Energy is defined as, "the minimum energy required to knock out or remove the valence electron from valence shell of an atom".

<h3>Trends in Periodic table:</h3>

               Along Periods:

                                        Ionization Energy increases from left to right along the periods because moving from left to right in the same period the number of protons (atomic number) increases but the number of shells remain constant hence, resulting in strong nuclear interactions and electrons are more attracted to nucleus hence, requires more energy to knock them out.

              Along Groups:

                                        Ionization energy decreases from top to bottom along the groups because the number of shells increases and the distance between nucleus and valence electrons also increases along with increase in shielding effect provided by core electrons. Therefore, the valence electrons experience less nuclear attraction and are easily removed.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                   Given elements belong to same group hence, Rubidium present at the bottom of remaining elements will have least ionization energy due to facts explained in trends of groups above.

A monatomic ideal gas that is initially at 1.50 * 105 Pa and has a volume of 0.0800 m3 is compressed adiabatically to a volume o
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Since the problem involves only two parameters of volume and pressure, the formula for Boyle's law is suitably used.

Using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure = 1.5×10^5Pa

V1 is the initial volume = 0.08m3

P2 is the final pressure (required)

V2 is the final volume = 0.04 m3

From the formula, P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.5×10^5 × 0.08 ÷ 0.04

= 300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa.

Spell out the full name of the compound.
Natalka [10]

Explanation:

Step one look for the longest chain of carbon atoms

Longest chain is 7 C atoms

Step 2 look for double bonds or others functional groups

it is present in 3rd carbon

Therefore IUPAC name is 3-heptene

From point of stereochemistry it can also be written as trans-3-heptene as the hydrogens are placed in opposite side of the C=C bond.

Hope this helps...

What mass in grams of hydrogen is produced by the reaction of 2.0 g of magnesium? (Make sure to balance the reaction first)
denpristay [2]

Answer:

0.164541341 g H2

Explanation:

1) Convert grams to moles by dividing by RMM of Magnesium (24.31g).

  2g Mg * (1 mol Mg / 24.31 g Mg) = 0.082270671 mol of Mg

2) Use the balanced equation's ratio of 1 mol Mg: 1 mol H2.

  0.082270671 mol of Mg = 0.082270671 mol of H2

3) Convert the mol of H2 back into grams by multiplying by H2's RMM (2 g).

  0.082270671 mol of H2 * 2 g H2 = 0.164541341 g H2

* Answer can be rounded to your liking *

How many moles of C6H12O6 will be produced if 22 grams of CO2 are reacted
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

60 grams

Explanation:

We have the balanced equation (without state symbols):

6

H

2

O

+

6

C

O

2

→

C

6

H

12

O

6

+

6

O

2

So, we would need six moles of carbon dioxide to fully produce one mole of glucose.

Here, we got  

88

 

g

of carbon dioxide, and we need to convert it into moles.

Carbon dioxide has a molar mass of  

44

 

g/mol

. So here, there exist

88

g

44

g

/mol

=

2

 

mol

Since there are two moles of  

C

O

2

, we can produce  

2

6

⋅

1

=

1

3

moles of glucose  

(

C

6

H

12

O

6

)

.

We need to find the mass of the glucose produced, so we multiply the number of moles of glucose by its molar mass.

Glucose has a molar mass of  

180.156

 

g/mol

. So here, the mass of glucose produced is

1

3

mol

⋅

180.156

 

g

≈

60

 

g

to the nearest whole number.

So, approximately  

60

grams of glucose will be produced.

How many kilojoules are needed to raise the temperature of 234 g of water from 19.8 C to 33.1 C?
xenn [34]

Answer:

13 kJ

Explanation:

Use the following formula where Q is the Joules needed, m is the mass of the substance, c is the heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Q = mcΔT

The heat capacity of water is 4.186 J/g°C.  The mass of water is 234 g.  The change in temperature is 13.3°C.

Q = mcΔT

Q = (234 g)(4.186 J/g°C)(13.3°C)

Q = 13,027 J

Since the answer is in Joules, convert to kiloJoules.

13,027 J  =  13.027 kJ  ≈  13 kJ
