Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

what volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution is required to neutralize 17.0 ml of a 0.112 m hydrobromic acid solution?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: 12.78ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of KOH Vb = ?

Concentration of KOH Cb = 0.149 m

Volume of HBr Va = 17.0 ml

Concentration of HBr Ca = 0.112 m

The equation is as follows

HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KBr(aq) + H2O(l)

and the mole ratio of HBr to KOH is 1:1 (Na, Number of moles of HBr is 1; while Nb, number of moles of KOH is 1)

Then, to get the volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution Vb, apply the formula (Ca x Va)/(Cb x Vb) = Na/Nb

(0.112 x 17.0)/(0.149 x Vb) = 1/1

(1.904)/(0.149Vb) = 1/1

cross multiply

1.904 x 1 = 0.149Vb x 1

1.904 = 0.149Vb

divide both sides by 0.149

1.904/0.149 = 0.149Vb/0.149

12.78ml = Vb

Thus, 12.78 ml of potassium hydroxide solution is required.

A sample of nitrogen gas, (N2), occupies 45.0 mL at 27.00∘C and 80.0 kPa. What will be the pressure if the gas is cooled to −73.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The new pressure is 53.3 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by this law. when the volume remains constant, pressure changes directly proportional as the Aboslute T° is modified.

T° increase → Pressure increase

T° decrease → Pressure decrease

In this case, temperature was really decreased. So the pressure must be lower.

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

80 kPa / 300K =  P₂/200K

(80 kPa / 300K) . 200 K = P₂ →  53.3 kPa

The metallic potassium atoms lose one electron and form +1 cations, and the nonmetallic fluorine atoms gain one electron and form –1 anions. K → K+ + e– 19p/19e– 19p/18e– F + e– → F– 9p/9e– 9p/10e– The ionic bonds are the attractions between K+ cations and F– anions. 50. See Figure 3.6. 52.

Each of the following answers is based on the assumption that nonmetallic atoms tend to form covalent bonds in order to get an octet (8) of electrons around each atom, like the very stable noble gases (other than helium). Covalent bonds (represented by lines in Lewis structures) and lone pairs each contribute two electrons to the octet. (a) oxygen, O If oxygen atoms form two covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons around them. Water is an example: H O H (b) fluorine, F If fluorine atoms form one covalent bond, they will have an octet of electrons around them. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is an example: H F (c) carbon, C If carbon atoms form four covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons around them. Methane, CH4, is an example: H H H H C (d) phosphorus, P If phosphorus atoms form three covalent bonds, they will have an octet
