Which atom has higher electron affinity F or I, Why?

1 answer:

8 0

Down a group, electron affinity typically decreases. This is because the atomic radius increases down a group.
Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity. This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.
The electron gained also feels a great amount of repulsion from the electrons originally in the outermost shell. Energy is required to keep the gained electron in the shell, causing fluorine to have a smaller electron affinity than chlorine.
Hope this helps :)

A gas is collected at 30 Celsius and has a pressure of 200 kPa. What pressure would it exert if the temperature changed to 40 Ce

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

$206.6\ \text{kPa}$

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Initial pressure = 200 kPa

$P_2$ = Final pressure

$T_1$ = Initial temperature = $30^{\circ}\text{C}$

$T_2$ = Final temperature = $40^{\circ}\text{C}$

We have the relation

$\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}P_1\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{40+273.15}{30+273.15}\times 200\\\Rightarrow P_2=206.6\ \text{kPa}$

The pressure that would be exerted after the temperature change is $206.6\ \text{kPa}$ .

In a

dsp73

Answer:

1384 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heat released due to the combustion of the organic compound. C is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter and Δt is the change in temperature from intial to final:

Q = CΔt = (3576 J°C⁻¹)(30.589°C - 25.000°C) = 19986.264 J

Extra significant figures are kept to avoid round-off errors.

We then calculate the moles of the organic compound:

(0.6654 g)(mol/46.07) = 0.0144432 mol

We then calculate the heat released per mole and convert to the proper units. (The conversion between kJ and J is infinitely precise and is not involved in the consideration of significant figures)

(19986.264 J)(1kJ/1000J) / (0.0144432 mol) = 1384 kJ/mol

What is the total number of oxygen atoms on the right-hand side of this chemical equation?

vivado [14]

The chemical equation is

Cu(s) +4HNO3(aq) ⇒ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Answer:

Explanation:

In the right hand side of the equation, there are three compound which contains O2, which are;

Cu(NO3)2 , number of oxygen atoms =3*2 =6

2NO2, number of oxygen atoms = 2*2=4

2H2O, number of oxygen atoms =2*1=2

Total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of equation = 6+4+2 =12
