The effective nuclear charge for an atom is less than the actual nuclear charge due to

Answer:

A = shielding.

Explanation:

The addition of electron causes the atomic size increase from top to bottom due to increase in atomic number.

As the atomic number increased one more electron is added and because of this electron on more electronic shell is added. Thus the electron become more away from the nucleus as many of other electrons are present in the way from nucleus to the outer electrons.

The hold of nucleus becomes weaker. Although nuclear charge is also increased but at the same time other electrons shield the respective electrons. So effective nuclear charge is weaker than the actual nuclear charge.

Because of this shielding it is easy to remove the electrons or we can say ionization energy decreases.

Calculate the volume of 38.0 g of carbon dioxide at STP. Enter your answer in the box provided. L
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

19.3 L

Explanation:

V= n × 22.4

where V is volume and n is moles

First, to find the moles of CO2, divide 38.0 by the molecular weight of CO2 which is 44.01

n= m/ MM

n= 38/ 44.01

n= 0.86344012724

V= 0.86344012724 × 22.4

V= 19.3410588502 L

V= 19.3 L

Read the given expression. X = number of protons − number of core electrons Which of the following explains the identity of X an
shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that:

X = number of protons − number of core electrons

Effective nuclear charge is defined as the actual nuclear charge (Z = number of protons) minus the screening effect caused by the electrons present between nucleus and valence electrons. These electrons are the core electrons.

The formula used for the calculation of effective nuclear charge given by Slater is:

Z^*=Z-\sigma

where,

Z^* = effective nuclear charge

Z = atomic number or actual nuclear charge or number of protons

\sigma = Screening constant

The effective nuclear charge increases as we go from left to right in a period because nuclear charge increases with no effective increase in screening constant.

Hence, the correct answer is X is the effective nuclear charge, and it increases across a period.

How did scientists solve the nitrogen problem?
taurus [48]

Unfortunately, we have not fully solved the 'nitrogen problem'. To do this, we must halve the amount of nitrogen we dump into the environment by mid-century or our ecosystems will face epidemics of toxic tides, lifeless rivers, and dead oceans. And that to do that will require, among other things, almost doubling the efficiency of nitrogen use on the world’s farms.

How many grams of dry nh4cl need to be added to 2.50 l of a 0.800 m solution of ammonia, nh3, to prepare a buffer solution that
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 574.59 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the number of moles of NH₃ will be,  

= 2.50 L × 0.800 mol/L

= 2 mol

The given pH of a buffer is 8.53

pH + pOH = 14.00

pOH = 14.00 - pH

pOH = 14.00 - 8.53

pOH = 5.47

The Kb of ammonia given is 1.8 * 10^-5. Now pKb = -logKb,  

= -log (1.8 ×10⁻⁵)

= 5.00 - log 1.8

= 5.00 - 0.26

= 4.74

Based on Henderson equation:  

pOH = pKb + log ([salt]/[base])

pOH = pKb + [NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]

5.47 = 4.74 + log ([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃])

log([NH₄⁺]/[NH₃]) = 5.47-4.74 = 0.73

[NH₄⁺]/[NH₃] = 10^0.73= 5.37

[NH₄⁺ = 5.37 × 2 mol = 10.74 mol

Now the mass of dry ammonium chloride required is,  

mass of NH₄Cl = 10.74 mol × 53.5 g/mol

= 574.59 grams.
