Answer:

The order is determined as: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr (option B)

Explanation:

The electrons are attracted to the nucleus and it is necessary to provide energy to start them. The ionization energy I is then the energy needed to start an electron to a gaseous atom, isolated and in a fundamental state. The electrons of the last layer are always lost, which are the weakest attracted to the nucleus.

The elements beryllium, calcium, magnesium and strontium, if you place them in the periodic table, are in the same group. In the same group, the size of the atoms increases as they descend in the periodic table. In this way, electrons are found in layers increasingly distant from the nucleus, being less and less attracted to it. This facilitates its extraction from the atom. Finally, the ionization energy decreases as it descends in a group.  Following this criterion, the order is determined as: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr (option B)

If a sample of pure cadmium has a mass of 18.2 grams, how many moles of cadmium are in the sample?
Mars2501 [29]
Atomic mass cadmium = 112.41 amu

1 mole Cd ------------ 112.41 g
?? moles Cd --------- 18.2 g

18.2 x 1 / 112.41 => 0.161 moles of Cd

The compound adrenaline contains 56.79% c, 6.56% h, 28.37% o, and 8.28% n by mass. what is the empirical formula for adrenaline?
Phoenix [80]
To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
         mass        moles
C       56.79        4.73
H       6.56          6.50
O       28.37        1.77
N      8.28           0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

</span>         moles                 ratio
C       4.73     / 0.59       8
H       6.50     / 0.59      11
O       1.77     / 0.59       3
N        0.59    / 0.59       1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
