In going across a row of the periodic table, protons and electrons are added and ionization energy generally increases. In going
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

It is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the electron from isolated gaseous atom to make the ion.

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.  Where as,

When we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation isC7H6
prisoha [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

<u>For b:</u> The theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   .....(1)

  • <u>For a:</u>

Given mass of salicylic acid = 1.00\times 10^2g=100g

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.121 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{100g}{138.121g/mol}=0.724mol

For the given chemical reaction:

C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol of acetic anhydride.

Now, to calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use equation 1:

Moles of acetic anhydride = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{102.09g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=73.91g

Hence, the mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

  • <u>For b:</u>

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid is producing 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol of aspirin.

Now, to calculate the mass of aspirin, we use equation 1:

Moles of aspirin = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.158 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.158g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=130.43g

Hence, the theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Caleb has a 860-kilogram car sitting in his back yard, gathering rust.
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 860 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question we need to understand that;

  • Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
  • Weight, on the other hand, refers to the gravitational pull of an object to a given surface.
  • Mass is measured using a spring balance.

We also need to know that;

  • The mass of an object remains constant every where irrespective of the gravitational acceleration.
  • Therefore, an object on the surface of the earth would have the same mass as on the surface of the moon.
  • In this case; the mass of the car remains the same on the outer space as on the back yard.
