A) It decreases because the distance between the nucleus and outermost shell increases

Answer: It increases because the outermost electrons are attracted more strongly by protons.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a gaseous atom. Metals have low ionization energy as they tend to attain stable configuration by losing the valence electrons.

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases and thus ionization energy increases.

Hence, the correct statement is It increases because the outermost electrons are attracted more strongly by protons.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The concentration of helium in the water is 2.405×10^-4 M

Explanation:

Concentration = Henry's law constant × partial pressure of helium

Henry's law constant = 3.7×10^-4 M/atm

Partial pressure of helium = 0.65 atm

Concentration = 3.7×10^-4 × 0.65 = 2.405×10^-4 M

You work for a cutlery manufacturer who wants to electrolytically precipitate 0.500 g of silver onto each piece of a batch of 25
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

Explanation:

Mass of silver to be precipitated on ecah spoon = 0.500 g

Number of silver spoons = 250

Total mass of silver = 250 × 0.500 g = 125 g

Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)

Moles of AgCN = n  = \frac{125 g}{134 g/mol}=0.9328 mol

Volume of AgCN solution =V

Molarity of the AgCN = 2.50 M

V=\frac{0.9328 mol}{2.50 M}=0.3731 L=373.1 mL

(1 L = 1000 mL)

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.
