<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given that:
X = number of protons − number of core electrons
Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.
The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:
where,
= effective nuclear charge
Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons
= Screening constant
The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.
Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.
C) Thermal energy. Your body turns the mechanical energy into thermal energy.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound .
the molecular formula for the compounds given are as follows
ethyne - C₂H₂
ethene - C₂H₄
ethane - C₂H₆
methane - CH₄
the actual ratios of the elements simplified ratio
C : H C : H
ethyne 2:2 1:1
ethene 2:4 1:2
ethane 2:6 1:3
methane 1:4 1:4
the only compound where the actual ratio is equal to the simplified ratio is methane
therefore in methane molecular formula CH₄ is the same as empirical formula CH₄
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2.809 L of H₂SO₄
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Concept tested: Moles and Molarity
In this case we are give;
Mass of solid sodium hydroxide as 13.20 g
Molarity of H₂SO₄ as 0.235 M
We are required to determine the volume of H₂SO₄ required
<h3>First: We need to write the balanced equation for the reaction.</h3>
- The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is a neutralization reaction.
- The balanced equation for the reaction is;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
<h3>Second: We calculate the umber of moles of NaOH used </h3>
- Number of moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
- Molar mass of NaOH is 40.0 g/mol
Moles of NaOH = 13.20 g ÷ 40.0 g/mol
= 0.33 moles
<h3>Third: Determine the number of moles of the acid, H₂SO₄</h3>
- From the equation, 2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
- Therefore, the mole ratio of NaOH: H₂SO₄ is 2 : 1.
- Thus, Moles of H₂SO₄ = moles of NaOH × 2
= 0.33 moles × 2
= 0.66 moles of H₂SO₄
<h3>Fourth: Determine the Volume of the acid, H₂SO₄ used</h3>
- When given the molarity of an acid and the number of moles we can calculate the volume of the acid.
- That is; Volume = Number of moles ÷ Molarity
In this case;
Volume of the acid = 0.66 moles ÷ 0.235 M
= 2.809 L
Therefore, the volume of the acid required to neutralize the base,NaOH is 2.809 L.
562 grams because mass can not be created or destroyed
