Answer:
B:with increase in number of valence electrons
Explanation:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer. When exposed to sunlight it quickly decomposes to form water and oxygen as given by the following equation.
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
Hydrogen peroxide is commercially available as a 30% w/w solution, which is the concentration that would facilitate the above reaction. This implies that the concentration would be 30 g of H2O2 in 100 g of the solution.
0.042 moles of Hydrogen evolved
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
I = 1.5 A
t = 1.5 hr = 5400 s
Required
Number of Hydrogen evolved
Solution
Electrolysis of water ⇒ decomposition reaction of water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas.
Cathode(reduction-negative pole) : 2H₂O(l)+2e⁻ ⇒ H₂(g)+2OH⁻(aq)
Anode(oxidation-positive pole) : 2H₂O(l)⇒O₂(g)+4H⁻(aq)+4e⁻
Total reaction : 2H₂O(l)⇒2H₂(g)+O₂(g)
So at the cathode H₂ gas is produced
Faraday : 1 mole of electrons (e⁻) contains a charge of 96,500 C
![\tt mol~e^-=\dfrac{Q}{96500}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctt%20mol~e%5E-%3D%5Cdfrac%7BQ%7D%7B96500%7D)
Q = i.t
Q = 1.5 x 5400
Q = 8100 C
mol e⁻ = 8100 : 96500 = 0.084
From equation at cathode , mol ratio e⁻ : H₂ = 2 : 1, so mol H₂ = 0.042
I will have to say that this statement is true
