Neon, Ne, would have the highest ionization energy because it has a high effective nuclear charge and small radius.

Answer:

D. Neon (Ne), because it has a high effective nuclear charge and small radius

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the valence orbital.

Chlorine (Cl) and fluorine (F) are halogens which have a general valence configuration of ns²np⁵ and are highly electronegative

Lithium (Li) is an alkali metal with a valence configuration of ns¹ and has a tendency to lose electrons readily

Neon (Ne) is a noble gas with a valence configuration of ns²np⁶. Here the outer shells have a complete octet and stable configuration which makes it difficult to remove electrons. In addition the high nuclear charge and small radius of Ne results in a strong force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. Therefore, Ne would have the highest ionization energy value.

Near Tatooine's famous Mos Eisley Space port you found a 520.79 mL block of gold. What is the mass in kilograms of this block?

postnew [5]

Answer:

10.051kg of gold is the mass in kilograms

Explanation:

The density of gold is 19.3g/mL. To solve this question we need to convert the volume of the block of gold to grams using its density. Then, we must convert grams to kilograms using the equivalence factor (1000g = 1kg):

Mass in grams:

520.79mL * (19.3g / mL) = 10051g of gold

Mass in kilograms:

10051g of gold * (1kg / 1000g) = 10.051kg of gold

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

It is a stichiometric problem.

The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.

It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.

We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

n = mass / molar mass,

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

Using cross multiplication:

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.

Balance Na2O+H2O → NaOH

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH
Step by step exp.
Given:
Equation Na2O+H2O=NaOH
To find: Balance the equation
Solution:
Taking LHS of the equation
LHS=Na2O+H2O
There is 2 sodium, 2 oxygen,& 2 hydrogen
To balance the equation we have equal number of atom so we multply 2 to the RHS=2NaOH
There fore the equation form is
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH

Please answer this question

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Natural gas is colorless and odorless, and explosive, so a sulfur-smell (similar to rotten eggs) is usually added for early detection of leaks. ... Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.
