\boxed{{\text{Li}} \to {\text{L}}{{\text{i}}^ + } + {{\text{e}}^ - }} is the chemical equation that represents the first ionization energy of lithium.

Further Explanation:

Ionization energy is the amount of energy that is required to remove the most loosely bound valence electrons from the isolated neutral gaseous atom. It is denoted by IE. The value of IE is related to the ease of removing the outermost valence electrons. If these electrons are removed so easily, small ionization energy is required and vice-versa. It is inversely proportional to the size of the atom.

Ionization energy is further represented as first ionization, second ionization and so on. When the first electron is removed from a neutral, isolated gaseous atom, the energy needed for the purpose is known as the first ionization energy, written as  {\text{I}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{1}}}. Similarly, when the second electron is removed from the positively charged species (cation), the ionization energy is called the second ionization energy \left( {{\text{I}}{{\text{E}}_2}} \right) and so on.

The atomic number of lithium is 3. So its electronic configuration is 1{s^2}2{s^1}. Its outermost electron is present in 2<em>s</em> orbital. The amount of energy required to remove this electron of lithium atom is known as the first ionization energy of lithium.

The equation that represents the first ionization of lithium is {\text{Li}} \to {\text{L}}{{\text{i}}^ + } + {{\text{e}}^ - }.

The chemical equation representing the first ionization energy for lithium is given by;

Li → Li + e-

<h2>Further Explanation; </h2><h3>Ionization energy</h3>
  • Ionization energy is the energy required to remove outermost electrons from the outermost energy level. Energy is required to remove an electron from an atom.
  • The closer an electron is to the nucleus the more energy is required, since the electron is more tightly bound to the atom thus making it more difficult to remove, hence higher ionization energy.
  • Ionization energy increases across the periods and decreases down the group from top to bottom.  
  • Additionally, the ionization energy increases with subsequent removal of a second or a third electron.
<h3>First ionization energy  </h3>
  • This is the energy required to remove the first electron from the outermost energy level of an atom.
  • Energy needed to remove the second electron to form a divalent cation is called the second ionization energy.
<h3>Trends in ionization energy  </h3><h3>1. Down the group(top to bottom)</h3>
  • Ionization energy decreases down the groups in the periodic table from top to bottom.
  • It is because as you move down the group the number of energy levels increases making the outermost electrons get further from the nucleus reducing the strength of attraction to the nucleus.
  • This means less energy will be required compared to an atoms of elements at the top of the groups.
<h3>2. Across the period  (left to right)</h3>
  • Ionization energy increases across the period from left to right.
  • This can be explained by an increase in nuclear energy as extra protons are added to the nucleus across the period increasing the strength of attraction of electrons to the nucleus.
  • Consequently, more energy is needed to remove electrons from the nucleus.

Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5 E e. No
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

E)cost of pollution is reduction in benefit of the firms.

MB=150-5E,. MB=90-3E

E=30-MB/5. E=30-MB/3

Joint MB,

E=60-8MB/15

MB=112.5-1.875E

Total pollution reduction=24

Total pollution=60-24=36

MB=112.5-1.875*36=112.5-67.5=45

Firm 1

MB=150-5E.

45=150-5E.

E=-105/-5=21

Reduction=30-21=9

Firm 2,

MB=90-3E

45=90-3E

E=-45/-3=15

Reduction =30-15=15

So firm 2 is reducing 15 units of pollution and firm 1 reducing 9 units of pollution.

As each firm have to reduce 12 units of pollution but firm 2 reducing 3 units more while firm 1 reducing 3 less units.

So, firm 2 is selling 3 units of pollution emission permit to firm 1.

F)firm 1 reduce 9 units and firm 2 reduce 12 units of pollution after trade.

Total cost of pollution reduction will total Benefit reduction by pollution reduction.

MB=112.5 -1.875E

TB=112.5E-0.9375E^2

TB at E=60

TB=112.5*60-0.9375*60*60=6750-3375=3375

TB at E=36

TB=112.5*36-0.9375*36*36=4050-1215=2836

Total cost of pollution reduction=3375-2836=540

G)price of permit= cost of extra pollution reduction by firm 2 or total cost from 9 to 12 by firm 2

MB=90-3E

TB=90E- 1.5E^2

TB at E=18

TB=90*18 -1.5*18*18=1620-486=1134

TB at E=15

TB=90*15 -1.5*15*15=1350-337.5=1012.5

Permit price=1134-1012.5=121.5

Total cost to firm 2 =1134

Net total cost to firm 2=1134-121.5=1012.5

Total cost to firm 1=150E-2.5E^2=150*9-2.5*9*9=1350-202.5=1147.5

Net total cost=1147.5+121.5=1269

H) the total cost is lower in cap & trade policy is because the firm who has higher cost of pollution reduction is paying the other firm who has lower cost of pollution reduction to reduce more pollution ,so that his part of pollution reduction can be completed.

And the amount he is paying is equal to the amount that is cost of other firm of reducing additional pollution units.

So the cost the firm is lower as he is paying lower amount than if he reduce pollution by itself.

Is dissolving salt a chemical change or physical change and why?
Firlakuza [10]

It's a physical change because the composition of the salt hasn't change. Only the change in substance/form has occured. To tell if something has undergone physical change is:

• Melting

• Boiling

• Freezing

• Condensing

• Breaking

• Bending

• Dissolving

• Molecules can change motion and proximity

To tell if something changed chemically:

• Molecules rearrange with other molecules to make new substance

• Can be production of flames

• Color change

• Bubbling/fizzing

• Temp. change

• change in composition
