The answer would be the 3. Mg + energy--> mg+ + e- 
Ionization Energy is the amount of energy vital to eliminate the most loosely bond electron from an atom in the gas stage. Since Magnesium has a higher first energy which is 738 kj/mol, is the energy needed to remove the outermost, or highest energy.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom is known as ionization energy.

As the atomic size of an atom increases then there will be less force of attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons of the atom. Hence, with lesser amount of energy the valence electrons can be removed.

As a result, ionization energy will decrease.

Now, potassium is larger in size than sodium. Hence, ionization energy of potassium is less than sodium.

And, Na, Mg and Al are all period 3 elements. It is known that across a period there is an increase in ionization energy of the elements due to decrease in their atomic size.

Hence, aluminium being the smallest will have the greatest ionization energy.

Thus, we can conclude that the reaction Al + energy \rightarrow Al^{+} + e^{-} will have the greatest first ionization energy.

Write the possible sets of quantum numbers of l=3
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are four quantum numbers:

Principal quantum number (n)

Azimuthal quantum number (l)

Magnetic quantum number (ml)

Spin quantum number (ms)

All these four quantum numbers gives complete information about an electron like its spin, shells, subshells and orbitals.

For example:

If l=3 than possible sets of quantum numbers are:

Azimuthal quantum number (l)

The azimuthal quantum number describe the shape of orbitals. Its value for s, p, d, f... are 0, 1, 2, 3. For l=3

(n-1)

4-1 = 3

it means principle quantum is 4 and electron is present in f subshell.

Magnetic quantum number (ml)

It describe the orientation of orbitals. Its values are -l to +l. For l=3  the ml will be -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3.

Spin quantum number (ms)

The spin quantum  number tells the spin of electron either its clock wise (+1/2) or anti clock wise (-1/2).

If the electron is added in full empty orbital its spin will be +1/2 because it occupy full empty. If electron is already present and another electron is added then its spin will be -1/2.

When 3.0 grams of H2 is reacted with excess C at constant pressure, the reaction forms CH4 and releases 53.3 kJ of heat. C(s) +
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

THE ENTHALPY OF REACTION IN KJ/MOL OF CH4 IS 7.07 KJ/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of H2 = 3 g

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol

Heat released = 53.3 kJ

Equation of the reaction:

C(s) + 2H2(g) -------> CH4(g)

First:

Calculate the number of moles of H2 that was used:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 3g / 2g

Number of moles = 1.5 moles

So therefore, when 53.3 kJ of heat was released from the reaction, 1.5 moles of hydrogen was used.

From the equation of the reaction, one mole of carbon reacts with two moles of hydrogen to form one mole of methane.

For 3 g of hydrogen, 1.5 mole of hydrogen is involved.

It means:

1.5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 0.75 moles of carbon and produces 0.75 moles of methane. This is so because the reaction occurs in 1: 2: 1 in respect to carbon, hydrogen and methane respectively.

So we can say that the production of 0.75 mole of methane will evolve 53.3 kJ of heat.

0.75 mole of methane releases 53.3 kJ of heat.

1 mole of methane will release ( 53.3 kJ * 1 / 0.75 )

= 71.0666 kJ of heat

In conclusion, the enthalpy of the reaction in kJ/ mole of CH4 is 71.07 kJ/mol.

Give the ground-state electron configuration for silicon (SiSi) using noble-gas shorthand. Express your answer in condensed form
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Silicon atoms have 14 electrons. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral silicon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p².

Using noble gas shorthand, the electronic configuration is reduced to;

[Ne] 3s² 3p². Ne s the nearest noble gas to silicon, Ne contains 8 electrons, this means there's still 4 more electrons to fill. The s orrbital can only hold 2, hence the reaing two is transferred to the p orbital.

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (Round to 2 significant figures.)
shepuryov [24]
Mass = mr x moles
Mr of CuCl2 = ( 63.5) + ( 35.5 x 2) = 134.5
2.5 = 134.5 x moles
2.5 / 134.5 = moles
Moles = 0.019 (2DP)

0.25g of Al
Mr of Al = 27
0.25 = 27 x moles
0.25/ 27 = 0.0093 moles (2sf)

Hope this helps :)
