It makes sense that an inner shell electron would be tougher to remove
than a valence electron because the inner shell electron is closer to
the positive nucleus of the atom. Seeing as an electron caries a
negative charge it would be too attracted to the positive core to leave
readily. Also, the inner shell electrons are constantly repelling
electrons outside of it's energy level (however the reason these
electrons outside innershell energy levels don't simply fly away is the
charge of the positive core overcomes the smaller charges of the
comparably negligible inner shell electrons, but that repulsion is still
there so keep that in mind) </span>
Answer:
<em>293.99 g </em>
OR
<em>0.293 Kg</em>
Explanation:
Given data:
Lattice energy of Potassium nitrate (KNO3) = -163.8 kcal/mol
Heat of hydration of KNO3 = -155.5 kcal/mol
Heat to absorb by KNO3 = 101kJ
To find:
Mass of KNO3 to dissolve in water = ?
Solution:
Heat of solution = Hydration energy - Lattice energy
= -155.5 -(-163.8)
= 8.3 kcal/mol
We already know,
1 kcal/mol = 4.184 kJ/mole
Therefore,
= 4.184 kJ/mol x 8.3 kcal/mol
= 34.73 kJ/mol
Now, 34.73 kJ of heat is absorbed when 1 mole of KNO3 is dissolved in water.
For 101 kJ of heat would be
= 101/34.73
= 2.908 moles of KNO3
Molar mass of KNO3 = 101.1 g/mole
Mass of KNO3 = Molar mass x moles
= 101.1 g/mole x 2.908
= 293.99 g
= 0.293 kg
<em><u>293.99 g potassium nitrate has to dissolve in water to absorb 101 kJ of heat. </u></em>

Answer:
B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.
Explanation:
The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :
1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.
2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.
3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.
4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.
The correct option is B.
