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.

Which statement best relates the strength and concentration of a base? At high enough concentrations, a weak base becomes strong
Lorico [155]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there are more number of hydroxide ions in a solution then there will be high concentration of OH^{-} or hydroxide ions. As a result, more will be the strength of base in that particular solution.

A base is strong when it readily dissociate into its ions in the solution. When a base is strong, then it does not matter at what concentration it is dissolved in the solution because despite of its low concentration it will remain a strong base.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement even at low concentrations, a strong base is strong best relates the strength and concentration of a base.

In their notebook you see that it takes 9 hours for a sixth of a 0.5M solution of BC2 to react. Unfortunately, you have somewher

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The concentration of BC_2 that should used originally is C_Z_o = 0.4492M

Explanation:

     From the question we are told that

         The necessary elementary step is  

                  2BC_2 ----->4C + B_2

          The  time taken for sixth of 0.5 M of reactant to react t = 9 hr

           The time available is t_a = 3.5 hr

             The desired concentration to  remain C  = 0.42M

Let Z be the reactant ,   Y be the first product and X the second product

Generally the elementary rate  law is mathematically as

                    -r_Z = kC_Z^2 = - \frac{d C_Z}{dt}

Where k is the rate constant ,  C_Z is the concentration of Z

From the elementary rate law we see that the reaction is second order (This because the concentration of the reactant is raised to power 2 )

 For second  order reaction

            \frac{1}{C_Z}  - \frac{1}{C_Z_o}  = kt

Where C_Z_o is the initial concentration of Z which a value of   C_Z_o = 0.5M

       From the question we are told that it take  9 hours  for the concentration of  the reactant to become

                 C_Z =  C_Z_o - \frac{1}{6}  C_Z_o

                  C_Z = 0.5  - \frac{0.5}{6}

                       = 0.4167 M

So      

                     \frac{1}{0.4167}  - \frac{1}{0.50}  =  9 k

                          0.400 = 9 k

                =>    k = 0.044\  L/ mol \cdot hr^{-1}

  For   C_Z = 0.42M

                \frac{1}{0.42} - \frac{1}{C_Z_o}  = 3.5 * 0.044

                2.38 -  0.154  =    \frac{1}{C_Z_o}

                           2.226  =    \frac{1}{C_Z_o}

                            C_Z_o = \frac{1}{2.226}

                             C_Z_o = 0.4492M
