<h2>Answer: </h2>

<u>Low ionization energies are most characteristic of atoms that are </u><u>Metals </u>

<h2>Explanation: </h2>

Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies. Ionization energy is the quantity of energy that an isolated, gaseous atom in the ground electronic state must absorb to discharge an electron, resulting in a cation. In metals the valence electrons are farther away from the positively charge nucleus, so the force of attraction is low therefore metals have low ionization energy.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0144 0.0144 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution i

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 2.46

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$2.46=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-$

Initially

0.0144 0 0

At equilibrium

(0.0144-x) x x

The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :

$K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(0.0144-x)}$

$x=[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$K_a=\frac{0.003467 \times 0.003467 }{(0.0144-0.003467 )}$

$K_a=1.099\times 10^{-3}$

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

How can I explain that orange juice is a homogeneous mixture ?

Masteriza [31]

Answer: It is usually separated from tea leaves by filtration. B Because the composition of the solution is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture. A Orange juice contains particles of solid (pulp) as well as liquid; it is not chemically pure.

Consider the mechanism. step 1:step 2:overall:2a⟶bb c⟶d2a c⟶dslowfast determine the rate law for the overall reaction, where the

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Rate: R = k [A]²

Explanation:

The rate law equation for a given complex chemical reaction is given as the product of molar concentrations of the reactant raised to the power their respective partial reaction orders. The sum of the partial reaction orders is equal to the overall order of reaction.

For a complex reaction, the rate law is generally determined by the slowest step, which is known as the rate-determining step.

<u>Given reaction mechanism:</u>

Step 1: 2 A⟶ B, slow step

Step 2: B+ C⟶ D, fast step

Overall: 2 A + C ⟶ D

In this given reaction mechanism, the <em>step 1 is the slow step and thus the rate determining step.</em>

Therefore, the rate law for the given mechanism is:

Rate: R = k [A]²

Here, k is the overall rate constant

Also, the overall order of the reaction = 2

Therefore, the given chemical reaction is said to be second order reaction.
