Explanation:

When we move across a period from left to right then there will occur an increase in electronegativity and also there will occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements.

As calcium (Ca) is a group 2A element and rubidium (Rb) is a group 1A element. Hence, Rb being an alkali metal is more metallic in nature than calcium (alkaline earth metal).

Both magnesium (Mg) and radium (Ra) are group 2A elements. And, when we move down a group then as the size of element increases so, it becomes easy of the metal atom to lose an electron.

As a result, there occurs an increase in metallic character of the element. Hence, Radium (Ra) is more metallic in nature than magnesium (Mg).

Also, both bromine and iodine are group 17 elements. Since, both of them are non-metals and non-metallic character increases on moving down the group.

Therefore, bromine (Br) is more metallic than iodine.

The heat of fusion for water is 80. cal/g. How many calories of heat are needed to melt a 35 g ice cube that has a temperature o

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 2800 calories

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Amount of heat required to fuse 1 gram of water = 80 cal

Mass of ice given = 35 gram

Heat required to fuse 1 g of ice at $0^0C$ = 80 cal

Thus Heat required to fuse 35 g of ice = $\frac{80}{1}\times 35=2800cal$

Thus 2800 calories of energy is required to melt 35 g ice cube

An increase in the atomic number________the atomic radius moving from left to right across a period.

frez [133]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

Atomic radius :

It is the distance from the center of nucleus to the outer most electronic shell.

Trend along period:

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

The following data were collected for the rate of disappearance of NO in the reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)→2NO2(g)::

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a) The rate law is: v = k[NO]² [O₂]

b) The units are: M⁻² s⁻¹

c) The average value of the constant is: 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

d) The rate of disappearance of NO is 0.8 M/s

e) The rate of disappearance of O₂ is 0.4 M/s

Explanation:

The experimental rates obtained can be expressed as follows:

v1 = k ([NO]₁)ᵃ ([O₂]₁)ᵇ = 1.41 x 10⁻² M/s

v2 = k ([NO]₂)ᵃ ([O₂]₂)ᵇ = 5.64 x 10⁻² M/s

v3 = k ([NO]₃)ᵃ ([O₂]₃)ᵇ = 1.13 x 10⁻¹ M/s

where:

k = rate constant

[NO]₁ = concentration of NO in experiment 1

[NO]₂ = concentration of NO in experiment 2

[NO]₃ = concentration of NO in experiment 3

[O₂]₁ = concentration of O₂ in experiment 1

[O₂]₂ = concentration of O₂ in experiment 2

[O₂]₃ = concentration of O₂ in experiment 3

a and b = order of the reaction for each reactive respectively.

We can see these equivalences:

[NO]₂ = 2[NO]₁

[O₂]₂ = [O₂]₁

[NO]₃ = [NO]₂

[O₂]₃ = 2[O₂]₂

So, v2 can be written in terms of the concentrations used in experiment 1 replacing [NO]₂ for 2[NO]₁ and [O₂]₂ by [O₂]₁ :

v2 = k (2 [NO]₁)ᵃ ([O₂]₁)ᵇ

If we rationalize v2/v1, we will have:

v2/v1 = k *2ᵃ * ([NO]₁)ᵃ * ([O₂]₁)ᵇ / k * ([NO]₁)ᵃ * ([O₂]₁)ᵇ (the exponent "a" has been distributed)

v2/v1 = 2ᵃ

ln(v2/v1) = a ln2

ln(v2/v1) / ln 2 = a

a = 2

(Please review the logarithmic properties if neccesary)

In the same way, we can find b using the data from experiment 2 and 3 and writting v3 in terms of the concentrations used in experiment 2:

v3/v2 = k ([NO]₂)² * 2ᵇ * ([O₂]₁)ᵇ / k * ([NO]₂)² * ([O₂]₂)ᵇ

v3/v2 = 2ᵇ

ln(v3/v2) = b ln 2

ln(v3/v2) / ln 2 = b

b = 1

Then, the rate law for the reaction is:

v = k[NO]² [O₂]

Since the unit of v is M/s and the product of the concentrations will give a unit of M³, the units of k are:

M/s = k * M³

M/s * M⁻³ = k

M⁻² s⁻¹ = k

To obtain the value of k, we can solve this equation for every experiment:

k = v / [NO]² [O₂]

for experiment 1:

k = 1.41 x 10⁻² M/s / (0.0126 M)² * 0.0125 M = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

for experiment 2:

k = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

for experiment 3:

k = 7.12 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

The average value of k is then:

(7.11 + 7.11 + 7.12) x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹ / 3 = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹

The rate of the reaction when [NO] = 0.0750 M and [O2] =0.0100 M is:

v = k [NO]² [O₂]

The rate of the reaction in terms of the disappearance of NO can be written this way:

v = 1/2(Δ [NO] / Δt) (it is divided by 2 because of the stoichiometric coefficient of NO)

where (Δ [NO] / Δt) is the rate of disappearance of NO.

Then, calculating v with the data provided by the problem:

v = 7.11 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹ * (0.0750M)² * 0.0100M = 0.4 M/s

Then, the rate of disappearance of NO will be:

2v = Δ [NO] / Δt = 0.8 M/s

The rate of disappearance of O₂ has to be half the rate of disappearance of NO because two moles of NO react with one of O₂. Then Δ [O₂] / Δt = 0.4 M/s

With calculations:

v = Δ [O₂] / Δt = 0.4 M/s (since the stoichiometric coefficient is 1, the rate of disappearance of O₂ equals the rate of the reaction).
