What is the primary reason that atomic radius decreases as you move from left to right across the periodic table even through th

e number of electrons is increasing?

Anika [276]4 years ago

Answer:

As you move across a period the electrons are being added to the same shell. But, protons are being added as well. This makes the nucleus more positively charged and, increasing protons has a greater effect than electrons. So, there is a greater nuclear attraction and, because the electrons are being added to the same shell that shell gets pulled in more. This causes a decrease in atomic radius.

When communicating with Apollo astronauts, scientists on Earth use radio waves and the "over to you" method of communication. Th
Dominik [7]

The answer is; D

While electromagnetic waves travel at an astounding 3.00 x 10^8 m/s and any delay seems imperceptible in short distances, in long distances, the waves take some time to reach the other end. This is why there is usually a small delay when ground communication tries to reach astronauts in space.  Also, remember that when a communication is relayed from the earth, it has to reach the destination and then wait for a response back to earth which covers the same distance or longer/shorter if the target is moving.

The distance to the moon is 384,400 km, therefore multiply this by 2 = 768,800 km

768,800,000m/300,000,000m = 2. 56 seconds

Therefore radio waves sent to the moon from earth will have a minimum  2.5  seconds delay not considering the processing time of this communication by the destination before sending feedback.  ‘Over to you’ signals end of a message by the messenger hence allowing the other messenger on the other to respond.

The pH of 0.50 M benzoic acid is 2.24. Calculate the change in pH when 2.64 g of C6H5COONa is added to 38 mL of 0.50 M benzoic a
meriva

Answer:

1.93

Explanation:

Moles of C_{6}H_{5}COOH = 38/1000 × 0.50 = 0.019mol

Moles of C_{6}H_{5}COONa = Mass/Molar mass = 2.64/144.10 = 0.018321mol

Final pH = pKa + log([C_{6}H_{5}COONa]/[C_{6}H_{5}COOH]

= -log Ka  + log(mols of C_{6}H_{5}COONa]/mols of C_{6}H_{5}COOH

= -log(6.5 × 10^(-5)) + log (0.018321/0.019)=4.17

change in pH = final - initial pH

= 4.17 - 2.24

=1.93
