If the exact outer limit of an isolated atom cannot be measured, what criterion can we use to determine atomic radii? What is th

e difference between a covalent radius and a metallic radius?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Calculate the atomic radii of two touching or overlapping atoms.

Explanation:

No doubt, we can't find the atomic boundary of a single atom, but when atoms are in the form of pairs it becomes very easy to measure the atomic radii of two and then dividing it by 2 to get an estimate of atomic radius of a single atom.

It is also called as covalent radius which is half of the total inter-nuclear distance between two same bonded atoms (Homo-nuclear).

If two adjacent mettalic ions are joined by such pairing then the same half of the distance between the nucleus is termed as metallic radii.

A container of gas is initially at 0.25 atm and 0 ˚C. What will the pressure be at 125 ˚C?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

0.37atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure  = 0.25atm

Initial temperature  = 0°C  = 273K

Final temperature  = 125°C  = 125 + 273  = 398K

Unknown:

Final pressure  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use a derivative of the combined gas law;

           \frac{P1}{T1}  = \frac{P2}{T2}

  P and T are pressure and temperature

  1 and 2 are initial and final values

        \frac{0.25}{273}   = \frac{P2}{398}  

         P2  = 0.37atm

Boron has an average mass of 10.81. One isotope of boron has a mass of 10.012938 and a relative abundance of 19.80 percent. The
Andrej [43]

The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:

average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ...  an so on

For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:

average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)

We plug in the values:

10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938  + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020

mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975

mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)

Write the balanced net reaction for the following half cells: <br> Sn2+ / Sn<br> Cr2+ / Cr
GuDViN [60]

The balanced net reactiion for the following half cells will be

Sn + Cr²⁺   --->  Sn²⁺  +  Cr

<h3>What are Half cells ?</h3>

A half cell is one of the two electrodes of an electrochemical cell.

An electrochemical cell comprises two half cells, where every half cell contains an electrode and an electrolyte.

A salt bridge or direct contact is needed to connect two half cells.

The balanced net reactiion for the given half cells will be

Sn + Cr²⁺   --->  Sn²⁺  +  Cr

An acid sample of an unknown concentration is contained in a erlenmeyer flask. Which technique below would be best suited to ana
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Titration

Explanation:

The best technique which can be used to determine the number of moles of the HCl in the sample is titration.

The given amount of HCl solution must be titrated with known concentration of the base like NaOH.

The volume of NaOH required must be noted also.

According to the reaction,

NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

At equivalence point

Moles of HCl = Moles of NaOH

Considering:-

Moles of HCl=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}

Thus, in this way, moles of HCl can be determined.
