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.

Explain how you would make 450 mL of a .250M NaOH solution?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Weigh 4.5 grams of sodium hydroxide and add it to the dry volumetric flask of 450 mL followed by small amount of water to dissolve all the NaOH .After this add the water upto tye mark of 450 mL.

Explanation:

Molarity of the solution is the moles of compound in 1 Liter solutions.

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of compound}}{\text{Molar mas of compound}\times Volume (L)}

Mass of NaOH = x

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume of the NaOH solution =  450 mL =- 0.450 L ( 1 ml = 0.450 L)

Molarity of the solution of NaOH = 0.250 M

Molarity=\frac{1.248 g}{26 g/mol\times 0.9102254 L}=0.528 mol/L

0.250 M=\frac{x}{40 g/mol\times 0.450 L}

Solving for x:

x = 4.5 g

Room temperature is usually considered to be 25°C. What is that in kelvins?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

298.15 K.

Explanation:

Room temperature is generally taken to be 25 °C (around 77 °F). 0 °C is equivalent to 273.15 K, so we add 273.15 to 25 to find that room temperature is around 298.15 K

For the reaction 3h2(g) + n2(g) 2nh3(g), kc = 9.0 at 350°c. calculate g° at 350°c.
miss Akunina [59]
When ΔG° is the change in Gibbs free energy

So according to ΔG° formula:

ΔG° =  - R*T*(㏑K)

here when K = [NH3]^2/[N2][H2]^3 = Kc 

and Kc = 9 

and when T is the temperature in Kelvin = 350 + 273 = 623 K

and R is the universal gas constant = 8.314 1/mol.K

So by substitution in ΔG° formula:

∴ ΔG° = - 8.314 1/ mol.K * 623 K *㏑(9)

           = - 4536

Which net ionic equation best represents the reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of barium chloride is mixed with an a
vovangra [49]

Answer : The net ionic equation will be:

Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)

Explanation :

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

BaCl_2(aq)+Li_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCl(aq)+BaSO_4(s)

The complete ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

Ba^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2Li^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Li^+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+BaSO_4(s)

In this equation the species, Li^+\text{ and }Cl^{-} are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions , we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be:

Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)
