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.

1. A 225-L barrel of white wine has an initial free SO2 concentration of 22 ppm and a pH of 3.70. How much SO2 (in grams) should
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "9.225 g".

Explanation:

Given:

Required level,

= 63 ppm

Initial concentration,

= 22 ppm

Now,

The amount of free SO₂ will be:

= Required \ level -Initial \ concentration

= 63-22

= 41 \ ppm

The amount of free SO₂ to be added will be:

= 41\times 225

= 9225 \ mg

∵ 1000 mg = 1 g

So,

= 9225\times \frac{1}{1000}

= 9.225

Thus,

"9.225 g" should be added.

8moles of Na2Cr2O2 is how much mass​
Margaret [11]

\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{ 1\: mole \:of \:Na_2Cr_2O_2\: = \:it's \:Gram\: Mol. \: mass}} }

\underline{ \mathfrak{ Gram \:molecular \:mass \:of \: \red{ Na_2Cr_2O_2}}}

= 2 × 23 + 2 × 52 + 2 × 16

= 182 grams

1 mole of Na_2Cr_2O_2 weighs = 182 g

8 moles weigh = 8× 182

=\mathfrak{\blue {\boxed{\underline {1456 \: grams}}}}

or

\mathfrak{\blue {\boxed{\underline {1. 46 \:kg }}}}
