Answer:

Option (d) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. Sodium has just 1 electron in it's outmost shell and chlorine has 7.

Sodium needs 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration and chlorine needs just 1.

Sodium can not attract 7 electrons to complete it's octet configuration instead it will easily lose the 1 electron in it's outmost shell to form cation. On the other hand, it will be difficult for chlorine to lose any of it's outmost electrons. This makes chlorine to have higher ionization energy than sodium.

Give reason why wood is solid?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Solid wood is a term most commonly used to distinguish between ordinary lumber and engineered wood, but it also refers to structures that do not have hollow spaces. Engineered wood products are manufactured by binding together wood strands, fibers, or veneers with adhesives to form a composite material.

Woof. Hope it helps!!! :) ....Reason*

By means of a schematic diagram show how a bacteria cell applied to the region of a cowpea root can end up becoming a nitrate io
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Nitrifying Bacteria are a group of aerobic bacteria important in the nitrogen cycle as converters of soil ammonia to nitrates, compounds usable by plants. An example is nitrosomonas or nitrobacter and species in that family.

The schematic diagram is attached below, which summarises the oxidation of ammonia or free nitrogen in the soil to nitrates for the cowpea plant's utilisation.

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.303 m cobalt(II) sulfate solution using 275 grams of water. How many grams of cobalt
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: 12.92g of CoSO4

Explanation:

Molar Mass of CoSO4 = 59 + 32 + (16x4) = 59 + 32 +64 = 155g/mol

Molarity of CoSO4 = 0.303mol/L

Mass conc. In g/L = Molarity x molar Mass

= 0.303x155 = 46.965g/L

275 grams of water = 0.275L of water

46.965g of CoSO4 dissolves in 1L

Therefore Xg of CoSO4 will dissolve in 0.275L i.e

Xg of CoSO4 = 46.965x0.275 = 12.92g

Therefore 12.92g of CoSO4 is needed

The acid HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(II) oxide particles
Oliga [24]

Answer:

K = [ HOCl ] . [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2

Explanation:

The law of Mass Action states that, at constant temperature, the rate of reaction is proportional to the active masses of each of the reactants.

The reaction above is a reversible reaction and the law of mass action also applies to it.

The rate of reaction from left-to-right reaction = r1 = k. [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2

Rate of reaction from right - to - left r2 = k. [hocl]^2 [HgO . hgcl2]

Then at equilibrium,

r1 = r2

k1/k2 = [HOCl ]^2 [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2 = K

where K is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
