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.

The density of the hydrocarbon in part (a) is 2.0 g l-1 at 50°c and 0.948atm. (i) calculate the molar mass of the hydrocarbon. (

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

1. Answer;

=56 g/mol

Explanation and solution;

PV = nRT

nRT= mass/molar mass (RT)

molar mass = (mass/V ) × (RT/P)

= Density × (RT/P)

Molar mass = 2.0 g/L × (0.0821 × 323 K)/0.948 atm

Molar mass = 56 g/mol

2. Answer;

Molecular mass is C4H8

Explanation;

Empirical mass × n = molar mass

Empirical mass for CH2 = 14 g/mol

Therefore;

56 g/mol = 14 g/mol × n

n = 4

The molecular formula= 4(CH2)

= C4H8

An iron block of mass 18 kg is heated from 285 K to 318 K. If 267.3 kJ is required, what is the specific heat of iron? A. 450.00

valkas [14]

Answer:

Option A. 450.00

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) m = 18 kg

b) T₁ = 285 K

c) T₂ = 318 K

d) Q = 267.3 kJ

e) S = ?

2) Principles and equations

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.

The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:

Q = m × S × ΔT

Where,

Q is the heat absorbed,
S is the specific heat, and
ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)

3) Solution:

a) Substitute the data into the equation:

267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)

b) Solve for S and compute:

S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)

The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.

c) Convert to J /( kg . k):

0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)

Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.
