B. Flourine

Flourine has one of the highest ionization energies because it is so close to getting a full octet with eight atoms. It doesn't want to lose but rather gain an atom. On the periodic table, ionization energy increases as you head towards the top and to the right.

Answer:

The answer is F (Fluor)

Explanation:

The electrons are attracted to the nucleus and it is necessary to provide energy to remove them. Then the ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron to a neutral atom, gaseous and in a fundamental state.

By lowering in a group the ionization energy decreases because the electrons are increasingly distant from the nucleus and less attracted to it, which makes it easier to apply less energy to start the electrons from the atom.

In a period, the size of an atom decreases from left to right. So, the attraction generated by the nucleus on atoms is greater, and more energy is needed to tear them away. Then the ionization energy increases.

Taking all of the above into account, it can be said that the ionization energy increases from bottom to top and from right to left in the periodic table.

So, the fluor (F) has the greatest first ionization energy.

Can someone help me with this I've been stuck on it for a few days

So I haven’t got time to answer all of it for you but the id you look at the picture of the periodic table I’ve added the top number in the red boxes are the groups and the period is how many elements down from the top it is (remember that the hydrogen and helium make up period ONE) so remember to include them when counting the elements as you go down the table

Combustion analysis of a 13.42-g sample of the unknown organic compound (which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) produ

kirza4 [7]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_{18}H_{20}O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=39.61g$

Mass of $H_2O=9.01g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 39.61 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 39.61=10.80g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 9.01 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 9.01=1.00g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.42) - (10.80 + 1.00) = 1.62 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{10.80g}{12g/mole}=0.9moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1g}{1g/mole}=1moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.62g}{16g/mole}=0.10moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.10 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.9}{0.10}=9$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1}{0.10}=10$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.10}{0.10}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 9 : 10 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_9H_{10}O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 268.34 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 134 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{268.34g/mol}{134g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(9\times 2)}H_{(10\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_{18}H_{20}O_2$

Thus, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_{18}H_{20}O_2$ .

How many xenon atoms are contained in 1.00 moles of xenon?

joja [24]

Answer:

6.022 x 10²³

Explanation:

The number of atoms = the number of moles x with the Avogadro's number.

(The Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / moles)

number of atoms = 1.00 moles x 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / mole

number of atoms = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

(There is no need to simplify?) = 6.022 x 10²³

(ps. This is my first time doing this question so im sorry if i got it wrong
