Answer:

A. K

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:

Atomic radii decrease from left to right across a Period.
Atomic radii increase from top to bottom in a Group.
Ionic radii of metal cations are smaller than those of their atoms.

Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.

Reversible reaction and examples on them

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Here are three examples

Explanation:

In a reversible reaction, the conversions of reactants to products and of products to reactants occur at the same time.

Example 1

The reaction of hydrogen and iodine to from hydrogen iodide.

H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI

Example 2

The dissociation of carbonic acid in water to form hydronium and hydrogen carbonate ions

H₂CO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + HCO₃⁻

Example 3

The dissociation of dinitrogen tetroxide to nitrogen dioxide.

N₂O₄ ⇌ 2NO₂

1) The heat of combustion for the gases hydrogen, methane and ethane are −285.8, −890.4 and −1559.9 kJ/mol respectively at 298K.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$H_2 + \frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O,\Delta H_1 =-285.8 kJ$ ..[1]

$CH_4 + 2O_2\rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O,\Delta H_2 =-890.4 kJ$ ..[2]

$C_2H_6 + \frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O,\Delta H_3= -1559.9 kJ$ ..[3]

$2CH_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g) + H_2(g),\Delta H_4=?$ ..[4]

2 × [2] - [1]- [3] = [4] (Using Hess's law)

$\Delta H_4=2\times \Delta H_2 -\Delta H_1 -\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H_4=2\times (-890.4 kJ)-(-285.8 kJ) -(-1559.9 kJ)$

$\Delta H_4=64.9 kJ/mol$

The enthalpy of the reaction is 64.9 kJ/mol.

Which out of two has stronger forces of attraction sugar or water very sort answer

Marina CMI [18]

Sugar. It is solid and its atoms have less kinetic energy to overcome the bonding force. So, the bonding force is stronger than water, which is liquid and has more kinetic energy to overcome the bonding force of atoms. So, water has less strong force of attraction. Hence, sugar has stronger forces of attraction.
