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.

What is the temperature of a gas that is expanded from 3.75 L at 37 degrees Celsius to 5.6 L?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

190 °C  

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure is constant, so this looks like a case where we can use <em>Charles’ Law</em>:  

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂      Invert both sides of the equation.  

T₁/V₁ = T₂/V₂      Multiply each side by V₂

T₂ = T₁ × V₂/V₁

=====

V₁ = 3.75 L; T₁ = (37 + 273.15) K = 310.15 K  

V₂ = 5.6 L;   T₂ = ?  

=====

T₂ = 310.15 × 5.6/3.75

T₂ = 310.15 × 1.49

T₂ = 463 K

t₂ = 463 – 273.15

t₂ = 190 °C

What will knowledge of chemistry enable you to do?
Fofino [41]
Understanding chemistry and its principles enables us to predict and understand various properties of substances. For example, because we know that ionic bonds are very strong and difficult to break, we know that any substance that has these bonds will have a high melting point, because melting is a process that requires the intermolecular bonds present in the solid state to be broken. This can be applied to table salt, sodium chloride, which has an ionic structure and a melting point of almost 800 degrees Celsius. Similarly, many other properties and characteristics may be predicted using concepts of chemistry.

Automobile catalytic Converters use a platinum callus to reduce air pollution by changing emissions such as carbon monoxide CO2
natka813 [3]

Answer:

14 mol O₂

Explanation:

The reaction between CO and O₂ is the following:

CO + O₂ → CO₂

We balance the equation with a coefficient 2 in CO and CO₂ to obtain the same number of O atoms:

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

As we can see from the balanced equation, 1 mol of O₂ is required to react with 2 moles of CO. Thus, the conversion factor is 1 mol of O₂/2 mol CO. We multiply the moles of CO by the conversion factor to calculate the moles of O₂ that are required:

28 mol CO x 1 mol of O₂/2 mol CO = 14 mol O₂
