Answer:

It's because removal of electron from an atom, reduces the size of an atom.

Explanation:

When an electron is removed from an atom, it becomes an ion and in this case it will become a postive ion.

When an electron is removed from an atom, the charge balance of an atom is disturbed and positive charge increases in comparison to the negative charge. This results in increase nuclear (positive) charge which exerts greater attraction on the remaining electrons and as a result the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus and in this way the atomic size is decreased. Due to this increased nuclear attraction and reduced atomic size, it bcomes difficult to remove more electeon from the positively charged ion of reduced size. This is the reason that each successive ionization of electron requires a greater amount of energy.

The ionization energy has inverse relation with the size or radius of an atom. This also justifies the reason that why each successive ionization of an electron requires greater amount of energy.

A single serving bag of snack chips contains 65.0 Cal. Assuming that all of the energy from eating these chips goes toward keepi

AveGali [126]

Answer:

= 62.1 hours

Explanation:

Energy provide by the serving is 65 cal

= 65 cal × 4.184 Kj = 271.96 kJ

271.96 KJ = 271960 J

Energy required for 1minute of energy

= 73 x 1

= 73 J/min

So, 271960 joules will be required for 271960 heart beat

Minutes = 271960 / 73

= 3593.94 minutes

Time in hours = 3725.429 / 60

= 62.1 hours

Automobile bodies contain significant amounts of iron. The iron is protected by the addition of zinc. This is called galvanizati

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

Net chemical equation: $Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe$

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

What are the limitations of using chemical indicators in determining the pH of a given solution?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

1) chemical indicators won't work above it's pH range so therefore it probably won't change colour.

2) the solution should be clear and colourless to see colour change.

3) indicators tend to be of low accuracy so it's not 100% reliable.

Which item is made from a synthetic material?

seropon [69]

First one because Common synthetic materials are nylon, acrylic, polyester, carbon fiber, rayon and spandex. Synthetic materials are made from chemicals and are usually based on polymers. They are stronger than natural and regenerated materials.
