Which is easier to remove: a valence electron from, Li or Na? Explain why.

Chemistry
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
7 0

The atomic number of Li is 3

Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹

The atomic number of Na is 11

Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.

Calculate the moles of 36.030 g of H2O.
lions [1.4K]

Answer: 1.99 mol h20

Explanation:

you have 36.030 g, trying to get it into mols

to get from g to mols, use the molar mass (periodic table)

36.030 g h20 (1 mol/18.02g) = 1.99 mol h20

Question: convert 22.63 miles of oxygen to volume<br><br> very urgent
Stels [109]

Answer:

506.912 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of O₂ = 22.63 moles

Volume of O₂ =?

Recall:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at STP.

With the above information, we obtained the volume occupied by 22.63 moles of O₂ as follow:

1 mole of O₂ occupied 22.4 L at STP.

Therefore, 22.63 moles of O₂ will occupy = 22.63 × 22.4 = 506.912 L at STP.

Thus, 22.63 moles of O₂ is equivalent to 506.912 L.
