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.

What is the best way to reduce the activation energy?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The method of hurrying up a reaction by decreasing its activation energy is called as catalysis, and the circumstance that's added to reduce the activation energy is termed as the catalyst.

Explanation:

Organic catalysts are named as enzymes. Enzymes are protein particles in cells which act as catalysts. Enzymes are proteid particles in groups which act as catalysts. Enzymes rush up biochemical effects in the thing but do not become used up in the method. Nearly all biochemical effects in living things require enzymes. Among an enzyme, biochemical effects go extremely quicker than they would without the enzyme.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

<h2>9000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 900 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>9000 N</h3>

What is the mass of oxygen in 3.34 g of potassium permanganate?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1.35 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) = 3.34 g

Mass of Oxygen: ?

Solution:

First find the percentage composition of Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄)

So,

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 39 + 55 + 4(16)

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 158 g/mol

Calculate the mole percent composition of  Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄).

Mass contributed by Oxygen (O) = 4 (16) = 64 g

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

                        Percent of Oxygen (O) = 64 / 158 x 100

                        Percent of Oxygen (O) = 40.5 %

It means that for ever gram of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) there is 0.405 g of Oxygen (O) is present.

So,

for the 3.34 grams of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) the mass of Oxygen will be

                  mass of Oxygen (O) = 0.405 x 3.34 g

                  mass of Oxygen (O) = 1.35 g

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 ∘c to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
To determine the time it takes to completely vaporize the given amount of water, we first determine the total heat that is being absorbed from the process. To do this, we need information on the latent heat of vaporization of water. This heat is being absorbed by the process of phase change without any change in the temperature of the system. For water, it is equal to 40.8 kJ / mol.

Total heat = 40.8 kJ / mol ( 1.50 mol ) = 61.2 kJ of heat is to be absorbed

Given the constant rate of 19.0 J/s supply of energy to the system, we determine the time as follows:

Time = 61.2 kJ ( 1000 J / 1 kJ ) / 19.0 J/s = 3221.05 s
