Explain in terns of atomic structure why barium has a lower first ionization energy than magnesium.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Barium has a greater radius than magnesium

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium are two elements which belong to the same group, group 2A. This means that the two elements have two valence electrons in their outer shell.

The difference is, however, since barium is lower in group than magnesium, it has more electron shells than magnesium and, therefore, its radius is greater. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electrons in barium is lower as a result, as force is inversely proportional to distance. Hence, a lower amount of energy is required to remove the valence electrons from barium.

Using this reversible reaction, answer the following:
spin [16.1K]
<span>-Products formed by the forward 
reaction may react with each other to regenerate the reactants. 
-When reactants are mixed, they will begin to react at a forward reaction rate particular to that chemical reaction. 
- As reactants are depleted and products are formed, however, the rate of the forward reaction begins to slow, and the rate of the reverse reaction begins to increase.</span>

According to the following reaction, how many moles of chlorine gas are necessary to form 0.739 moles carbon tetrachloride? carb
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2.956 moles chlorine gas will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Number of moles carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) = 0.739 moles

carbon disulfide (s) = CS2(s)

chlorine (g) = Cl2(g)

carbon tetrachloride (l) = CCl4(l)

sulfur dichloride (s) = SCl2 (s)

Step 2: The balanced equation

CS2(s) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) +2SCl2

Step 3: Calculate moles chlorine gas

For 1 moles Cs2 we need 4 moles Cl2 to produce 1 mol CCl4 and 2 moles SCl2

For 0.739 moles CCl4 we need 4*0.739 = 2.956 moles Cl2

2.956 moles of chlorine gas will be produced

SiCl4 + H2O = H4SiO4 + HCl
vichka [17]

Hey there!

Balance the equation:

SiCl₄ + H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + HCl

Balance H.

2 on the left, 5 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O and a coefficient of 2 in front of HCl.

SiCl₄ + 3H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl  

Balance O.

3 on the left, 4 on the right. Change the coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O to a 4.

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl  

This unbalanced our H, so change the coefficient of 2 in front of HCl to a 4.

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl  

Balance Cl.

4 on the left, 4 on the right. Already balanced.

Balance Si.

1 on the left, 1 on the right. Already balanced.

Our final balanced equation:

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl

Hope this helps!
