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)

What was one idea Dalton taught about atoms
gogolik [260]

The main points of Dalton's atomic theory, as it eventually developed, are: Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass and other properties.

A 256 mL sample of HCl gas is in a flask where it exerts a force (pressure) of 67.5 mmHg. What is the pressure of the gas if it
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The pressure in the new flask would be 128\; \rm mmHg if the \rm HCl here acts like an ideal gas.  

Explanation:

Assume that the \rm HCl sample here acts like an ideal gas. By Boyle's Law, the pressure P of the gas should be inversely proportional to its volume V.

For example, let the initial volume and pressure of the sample be V_1 and P_1. The new volume V_2 and pressure P_2 of this sample shall satisfy the equation: P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2.

In this question,

  • The initial volume of the gas is V_1= 256\; \rm mL.
  • The initial pressure of the gas is P_1 = 67.5\; \rm mmHg.
  • The new volume of the gas is V_2 = 135\; \rm mL.

The goal is to find the new pressure of this gas, P_2.

Assume that this sample is indeed an ideal gas. Then the equation P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2 should still hold. Rearrange the equation to separate the unknown, P_2. Note: make sure that the units for V_1 and V_2 are the same before evaluating. That way, the unit of

\begin{aligned} & P_2\\ &= \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{V_2} \\ &= \frac{256\; \rm mL \times 67.5\; \rm mmHg}{135\; \rm mL} \\ & \approx 128\; \rm mmHg\end{aligned}.
