Explanation:

When an atom's outermost orbital gains or loses electrons (also known as valence electrons), the atom forms an ion. An ion with more protons than electrons carries a net positive charge and is called a cation. An ion with more electrons than protons carries a net negative charge and is called an anion

Given that cao(s) + h2o(l) → ca(oh)2(s), δh°rxn = –64.8 kj/mol, how many grams of cao must react in order to liberate 525 kj of

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

454.3 g.

Explanation:

From the given data:

1.0 mol of CaO liberates → – 64.8 kJ.

??? mol of CaO liberates → - 525 kJ.

∴ The no. of moles needed = (1.0 mol)(- 525 kJ)/(- 64.8 kJ) = 8.1 mol.

<em>∴ The no. of grams of CaO needed = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (8.1 mol)(56.077 g/mol) = <em>454.3 g.</em>

Which atom, selenium (Se) or Arsenic (As), has the higher electron affinity and why?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Selenium:-

The electronic configuration of the element is:-

$[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^4$

Arsenic:-

The electronic configuration of the element is:-

$[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^3$

The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.

Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.
