The predicted order of ionization energies is Li > Na > K > Rb

Atomic size increases as you go down a Group (see image). We are adding electrons to increasingly larger shells.

The valence electrons are further from the attraction of the nucleus, so they are less tightly held.

Thus, Li has the highest ionization energy and Rb the lowest.

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Explanation:

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$

Hence, the mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

How does the chemical formula relate to the number of particles that result from the dissociation of a molecule

kodGreya [7K]

The chemical formula would dictate how many ions are present in a solution. It tells how many of what ion would dissociate in the solution. In every chemical reaction or dissociation reaction, it is important to remember that the number of each atoms on each side would be equal.
