We calculate for the number of moles of water given its mass by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
n water = (36.04 g) / (18 g/mol)
n water = 2 mols
From the given balanced equation, every 6 moles of water produced will require 7 moles of oxygen.
n oxygen = (2 mols H2O) x (7 moles O2 / 6 moles H2O)
n oxygen = 2.33 mols O2
Answer:
Electron affinity increases when moving left to right of the period.
Explanation:
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Trend of electron affinity across the period:-
- Across the period, the electron affinity increases as there is an increase in effective nuclear charge.
- Due to this, there is more force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons when moving left to right in a period.
- Thus, more amount of energy is released when an electron is being gained in the neutral atom to form anion.
- Thus, electron affinity increases when moving left to right of the period.
Thus,
Al : -44 kJ/mol
Si : -120 kJ/mol
P : -74 kJ/mol
S : -200.4 kJ/mol
Cl : -384.7 kJ/mol
Al, Si, P, S, Cl are the members of third period and thus, left to right, the electron affinities of the elements increases as can be seen from the literature values.
The Earth, Mars or Jupiter should be denser than the Sun. Density is defined by mass and volume — components of object or matter. Although the sun is huge, it’s component is made up of mostly gas (hydrogen and helium). While Earth, though smaller than the Sun, contains heavier elements such as iron, sulfur, rocks, sediments, granite, basalt and water. Mars (composed of rocks and nutrients) and Jupiter (contains gases and compounds) as well are denser when compared to the Sun’s density. Referencing to our basic understanding of matter: solid and liquid should be heavier than gas.
