Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate

Explanation:

Characteristics of good solvent choice for the recrystallization.

1. Water has low solubility of benzoic acid at room temperature.

2. Cold water's low solubility of  benzoic acid allows for the high concentration production of crystal. And these crystals could be easily soluble in hot water.

3. Water dissolves soluble impurities well at  the room temperature.

Explanation:

It is known that a compound is soluble when the boiling point of the solvent is high. Whereas at normal temperature of the solvent it will have low solubility.

And, if the solute is highly soluble into the solvent at normal temperature then it is difficult to recrystallize the solute.

Hence, in order to recrystallize the solute particles it is necessary that impurities will be highly soluble at the room temperature or they should remain insoluble into the hot solvent.

As a result, there will not take place any reaction between the solute and solvent.

Since, benzoic acid is non-polar in nature and water is a polar solvent so, it will not easily dissolve in water. Therefore, it will readily evaporate in order to give the pure compound.

An increase in the atomic number________the atomic radius moving from left to right across a period.
frez [133]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

Atomic radius :

It is the distance from the center of nucleus to the outer most electronic shell.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required

Which explains the change in ionization energy that occurs between removing the first and second electron from an Atom
Mars2501 [29]
 The ionization energy increases because the ratio of the protons to electrons increases. It is quantitatively expressed in symbols as X + energy → X+ + e−.
