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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonja [21]4 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.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a) 37.04%  b) 37.04%  c) 9.63%

Explanation:

The theoretical percent recovery (Tr), is the total percentage of each compound in the sample. Depending on the technique used to recovery the compounds, the percent recovery will be less than the theoretical, because no technique is 100% efficient.

So, to calculate the theoretical, it will be the mass of the compound divided by the mass of the sample multiplied by 100%.

a) Tr = (250 mg)/(675 mg) * 100%

Tr = 37.04%

b) Tr = (250 mg)/(675 mg) * 100%

Tr = 37.04%

c) Tr = (65 mg)/(675 mg) * 100%

Tr = 9.63%

(a)Determine the number of KNO3 molecules in 0.750 mol KNO3.
svp [43]

A. The number of molecules in 0.750 mole of KNO₃ is 4.515×10²³ molecules

B. The mass (in milligrams) of 2.39×10²⁰ molecules of Ag₂SO₄ is 124 mg

C. The number of molecules in 3.429 g of NaHCO₂ is 3.04×10²² molecules

<h3>Avogadro's hypothesis </h3>

1 mole of substance = 6.02×10²³ molecules

<h3>A. How to determine the number of molecules </h3>

1 mole of KNO₃ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

0.750 mole of KNO₃ = 0.75 × 6.02×10²³

0.750 mole of KNO₃ = 4.515×10²³ molecules

<h3>B. How to determine the mass of Ag₂SO₄</h3>

6.02×10²³ molecules = 312 g of Ag₂SO₄

Therefore,

2.39×10²⁰ molecules = (2.39×10²⁰ × 312) / 6.02×10²³

2.39×10²⁰ molecules = 0.124 g

Multiply by 1000 to express in mg

2.39×10²⁰ molecules = 0.124 g × 1000

2.39×10²⁰ molecules = 124 mg of Ag₂SO₄

<h3>C. How to determine the number of molecules </h3>

68 g of NaHCO₂ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

3.429 g of NaHCO₂ = (3.429 × 6.02×10²³) / 68

3.429 g of NaHCO₂ = 3.04×10²² molecules

If 125mL of a 0.15M NaOH solution is diluted to 150mL, what will the new molarity of the solution be?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>C</em> NaOHsln = 0.125 M

Explanation:

Molarity (M) [=] mol/L

∴ moles NaOH = (0.125 L)(0.15 mol/L) = 0.01875 mol

∴ Vsln = 150 mL = 0.150 L

New Molarity:

⇒ <em>C</em> NaOH = 0.01875 mol/0.150 L

⇒ <em>C</em> NaOH = 0.125 M
