\"Moving down group 2A (Alkaline Earth Metals), which element has the largest first ionization energy?\" Is the answer to this:
lesya692 [45]

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from one mole of gaseous atom to produce 1 mole of gaseous in to produce a charge of 1. The greater the ionization energy, the greater is the chance f the electron to be removed from the nucleus. In this casse, Radium has the largest ionization energy.

Which one of the following represents a decrease in entropy?
Leni [432]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

There are principally three states of matter. These are the solid, liquid and gaseous states. The gaseous state has the highest degree of disorderliness as gas particles can move randomly while the solid state has the highest level of compactness.

Hence, we need to be adequately fed with information as regards the phase change to know if entropy has decreased or increased.

A. is wrong

Evaporation is a change of state to the gaseous state meaning there is an increased entropy.

B. is wrong

Sublimation is a change of state which means a solid substance like iodine or naphthalene changes its state directly to the gaseous state. There is an increased entropy here too.

C is wrong

Melting of ice means going from ice block to liquid water. This is synonymous to going from the solid state to the liquid state which is an increased entropy

D is correct

Condensation involves going from the gaseous state to the liquid state. This means going from a less ordered state to a more ordered state. This is accompanied by an entropy decrease.

E is wrong

While there are some processes that increase entropy, we also have some process that decrease entropy.

In the world of chemistry, a 'mole' is a number of something... a very large number of something.
kipiarov [429]

Given:

No of atoms present= 8.022 x 10^23 atoms

Now we know that 1 mole= 6.022 x 10^23 atoms


Hence number of moles present in 8.022 x 10^23 atoms is calculated as below.

Number of moles

= 8.022 x 10^23/6.022x 10^23

=1.3 moles.

Hence we have 1.3 moles present.

What forms when all of the continents on earths surface merge into one massive landform?
Nutka1998 [239]
Continents are generally the largest landforms on Earth. The Eurasian continent, a combination of Europe and Asia (since they are in contact for thousands of miles along the Ural Mountains) is by far the largest landform. Even without including Europe, Asia is the largest of the individual continents.
Hope this helped.
