Answer:

Electrons are far apart from the nucleus as we move down the group.

Explanation:

The ionization energy is the amount of energy which is necessary to remove an electron from an atom.

In an atom there exist a force of attraction at the center (nucleus). This is because of the positive charge which exists in the nucleus. This force of attraction is less felt as the distance between the electron and the proton increases. Hence the ionization energy increases as the number of shells increases for an atom. As we move down the group in the periodic table, the number of shells increases which implies a decrease in ionization energy.

Calculate the molality, molarity, and mole fraction of FeCl3 in a 29.5 mass % aqueous solution (d = 1.283 g/mL).

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

molality FeCl3= 2.579 molal

molarity FeCl3 = 2.333 M

mol fraction FeCl3 = 0.0444

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass % = 29.5 %

Density = 1.283 g/mL

Molar mass FeCl3 = 162.2 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass solution

Suppose we have 1L = 1000 mL solution

Mass solution = 1.283 g/mL * 1000 mL = 1283 grams

Step 3: Calculate mass FeCl3

Mass FeCl3 = 0.295 * 1283 grams

Mass FeCl3 = 378.485 grams

Step 4: Calculate mass of water

Mass water = 1283 - 378.485 = 904.515 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = mass FeCl3 / molar mass FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = 378.485 grams / 162.2 g/mol

Moles FeCl3 = 2.333 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 904.515 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 50.195 moles

Step 7: Mol fraction FeCl3

Mol fraction FeCl3 = 2.333 / (50.195+2.333)

Mol fraction FeCl3 = 0.0444

Step 8: Calculate molality

Molality = moles FeCl3 / mass H2O

Molality = 2.333 moles / 0.904515 kg

Molality = 2.579 molal

Step 9: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity FeCl3 = 2.333 moles / 1 L

Molarity FeCl3 = 2.333 M

A solution has a pH of 2.5. Answer the following questions. pOH = [H]= [OH]=

Sloan [31]

Answer:

pOH = 11.5

[H⁺] = 0.003 M

[OH⁻] = 3 × 10⁻¹² M

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

pH = 2.5

Based on the above information

We know that

pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH

pOH = 14 - 2.5

pOH = 11.5

[H⁺] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-2.5)

[H⁺] = 0.003 M

[OH⁻] = 10^(-pOH)

= 10^(-11.5)

= 3 × 10⁻¹² M

[OH⁻] = 3 × 10⁻¹² M

Hence, the above represents the answer

What are two versions of genes called and how are they diffrent?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer with Explanation:

Different versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are described as either dominant or recessive depending on their associated traits. Since human cells carry two copies of each chromosome they have two versions of each gene.
