More valence electrons and larger atomic radius are facts most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.
Alex17521 [72]4 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A substance is able to conduct electricity if it has or contains free electrons.

This also means that larger is the atomic radius of a metal lesser will the force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. As a result, it can easily lose its valence electrons.

Therefore, availability of free electrons is easy in that case.

Also, more is the number of valence electrons a metal contains more is the number of electrons participating in conducting electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that a combination of more valence electrons and larger atomic radius factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.

For Mn3+, write an equation that shows how the cation acts as an acid.
Mkey [24]

An acid is a compound which will give H+ ions or H3O^+  ions

the reaction will be

[Mn(H_{2}O )_{6} ^{+3} +H_{2}O --> [MnOH(H_{2}O)_{5}]^{+2} + H_{3}O^{+}

Thus as there is evolution of H_{3}O^{+} the Mn+3 is an acid

What volume of so2 is produced at 325 k and 1.35 atm when 15.0 grams of hcl reacts with excess k2so3?
Helen [10]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2HCl + K₂SO₃ ---> 2KCl + H₂O + SO₂
stoichiometry of HCl to SO₂ is 2:1
number of moles of HCl reacted - 15.0 g / 36.5 g/mol = 0.411 mol 
according to molar ratio 
number of SO₂ moles formed - 0.411 mol /2 = 0.206 mol
since we know the number of moles we can find volume using ideal gas law equation 
PV = nRT
where
 P - pressure - 1.35 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 136 789 Pa 
V - volume 
n - number of moles - 0.206 mol 
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 325 K
substituting values in the equation 

136 789 Pa x V = 0.206 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 325 K 
V = 4.07 L 
volume of SO₂ formed is 4.07 L
