Answer:

Chlorine has higher ionization energy.

Explanation:

Sodium is present on left side of periodic table in period 3 while chlorine is present on right side of periodic table in period 3.

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. Thus chlorine have higher ionization energy as compared to the sodium.

How many moles of solute are contained in a 250.0-milliliter solution that has a concentration of 0.85 M?

adoni [48]

Answer : The correct option is, 0.21 moles

Solution : Given,

Molarity of the solution = 0.85 M = 0.85 mole/L

Volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.25 L $(1L=1000ml)$

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the moles of solute of the solution.

$0.85mole/L=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{0.25L}$

$\text{moles of solute}=0.2125=0.21moles$

Therefore, the moles of solute is, 0.21 moles

What is the limiting reactant when 5.6 moles of aluminum react with 6.2 moles of water?

alexira [117]

The limiting reactant when 5.6 moles of aluminium react with 6.2 moles of water is

water( H2O)

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The balanced equation is as below

2 Al +3 H2O → Al2O3 +3 H2

The mole ratio of Al :Al2O3 is 2:1 therefore the moles of Al2O3

= 5.6 x1/2 = 2.8 moles

The mole ratio of H2O: Al2O3 is 3:1 therefore the moles of Al2O3 produced

= 6.2 x1/3= 2.067 moles

since H2O yield less amount of Al2O3 , H2O is the limiting reagent.

Which statement best describes the movement of atoms in solid

ser-zykov [4K]

Atoms according to the kinetic molecular theory, are described in a solid to simply be vibrating in fixed positions, and not moving rapidly in the container. Because of this, they take a fixed volume and have fixed shape.

What mass of AI2O3 forms, knowing the molar mass of Al2O3 is 102 g/mol ?

TiliK225 [7]

Question

What mass of Al₂O₃ form is produced if 25.00 g of aluminum (al) is reacted completely?, knowing the molar mass of Al₂O₃ is 102 g/mol?

Atomic mass of Al =27 and O = 16

The molar mass of Al₂O₃ = 102.

Mass of aluminium in 102 g of Al₂O₃ = 54 g

54 g Al => 102 g Al₂O₃

25g Al => x g Al₂O₃

x = 25*102/54 = 47.2 g Al₂O₃
