In terms of atomic structure, explain why the atomic radius of K is larger than that of Na

Chemistry
1 answer:
oee [108]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium and potassium are present in group 1A. Both are alkali metals.

The atomic number of sodium is 11 and potassium is 19. Sodium is present in period 3rd while potassium is present in period 4th.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

K₁₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹

It can be seen in electronic configuration that in case of sodium the valance electron is present in third energy level while in case of K outer most  electron is present in 4th energy level. So atomic structure of sodium has three energy level and K has four energy  level that's why radius of potassium is greater than sodium because its the distance from center to outer most electronic shell.

Moreover as 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.

How many moles of nitrogen gas are there in 16.8 L of this gas at STP?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
According to Avogadro's Law, same volume of any gas at standard temperature and pressure will occupy same volume. And one mole of any Ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³ (1 dm³ = 1 L).

Data Given:

                  n = moles = ?
                  V = Volume = 16.8 L

Solution:
               
As 22.4 L volume is occupied by one mole of gas then the 16.8 L of this gas will contain....

                           = ( 1 mole × 16.8 L) ÷ 22.4 L
                    
                           = 0.75 moles

Result:
           
16.8 L of Nitrogen gas will contain 0.75 moles at standard temperature and pressure.

A horizontal cylinder equipped with a frictionless piston contains 785 cm3 of steam at 400 K and 125 kPa pressure. A total of 83
guapka [62]

Answer:

a. 478.69 K

b. 939.43 cm^{3}

c. 19.30 J

d. 64.5J

Explanation:

From the question, we can identify the following;

V_{o} = 785cm^{3} = 0.000785 m^{3}

T_{o} = 400K

P_{o} = 125 Kpa =  125 000 Pa

Using the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where R is the molar gas constant = 8.314 m^{3}⋅Pa⋅K^{-1}⋅mol^{-1}

Thus, n = PV/RT = (125000 × 0.000785)/(8.314 × 400) = 0.03 mol

a. Steam temperature in K

To calculate this, we use the constant pressure process;

q = nΔH

Where q is 83.8J according to the question

Thus;

83.8 = 0.03 × [34980 + 35.5T_{1} - (34980 + 35.5T_{o})]

83.8 = (0.03 × 35.5) (T_{1} - 400K)

83.8 = 1.065 (T_{1}  - 400)

78.69 = (T_{1}  - 400)

T_{1} = 400 + 78.69

T_{1}  = 478.69 K

b. Final cylinder volume

To calculate this, we make use of the Charles' law(Temperature and pressure are directly proportional)

V_{1}/T_{1} = V_{o}/T_{o}

V_{1}  =  V_{o}T_{1}/T_{o}

V_{1}   = (785 × 478.69)/400

V_{1}   = 939.43 cm^{3}

c. Work done by the system

Mathematically, the work done by the system is calculated as follows;

w = P(V_{1}- V_{o}) = 125 KPa ( 939.43 - 785) = 19.30 J

d. Change in internal energy of the steam in J

ΔU = q - w = 83.8 - 19.3 = 64.5J

Alright, now you actually have an aqueous solution of your salt! Though perhaps not all of the salt has dissolved yet, but we'll
erica [24]

If not all of the salt has dissolved then the measurement of the concentration at the time is really inaccurate.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The concentration is the amount of substance that is present in solution. We know that we can not measure the concentration unless all of the solute have been dissolved in the solution.

Thus, if not all of the salt has dissolved then the measurement of the concentration at the time is really inaccurate.
