Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?

Chemistry

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.

If one mole of a substance has a mass of 56.0 g, what is the mass of 11 nanomoles of the substance? Express your answer in nanog
9966 [12]

Answer:

616,0 ng is the right answer.

Explanation:

You should know that 1 mole = 1 .10^9 nanomoles

Get the rule of three.

1 .10^9 nanomoles ...................... 56.0 gr

11 nanomoles .....................

(11 x 56) / 1 .10^9 nanomoles = 6.16 x 10^-7 gr

Let's convert

6.16 x 10^-7 gr x 1 .10^9 = 616 ngr

The molar heat of vaporization of water is 40.7kJ/mol. How much heat must be absorbed to convert 50.0 grams of liquid water at 1
EleoNora [17]
During a phase change the temperature does not change since all of the heat is being absorbed in order to break the intermolecular forces.  Due to that, the formula will not need to have T in it and is actually q=nΔH(v).
n=the number of moles (in this case 2.778mol of water since you divide 50g by 18g/mol).
ΔH(v)=the molar heat of vaporization (in this case 40.7kJ/mol).
q=the heat that must be absorbed
q=2.778mol×40.7kJ/mol
q=113.1kJ
Therefore the water needs to absorb 1.13×10²kJ.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
